Daiken/exedy Hdcb Clutch?

[ferlauto87]

clutch is starting to slip a bit in the xr6t, before a give it more power im going to replace it, thinking of running the strongiest clutch available from either Daiken or Exedy, one of the two, part number FMK.7442 HDCB, got the specs and are 639hp and 699Ft Ibs at the flywheel, im aiming for 300kw at the wheels, going by the specs it should be right.

If anyone knows anymore about them or has one let me know, can get one cheap (know a bloke who used to work for the supplier and can get them at cost price for $625 +GST complete with CSC) but dont want it to be a bad choice, but the price is right .

If it is an organic face clutch you should be ok, but if it is cerramettalic it will be a shuddering piece of crap on the street, but ok for motorsport use

Great clutch on the track ONLY,,,,but POS on the street. I have one in mine with over 300rwkw and it handles it easily, but it's a real pig on the street. Also the inner city carparks where you have to reverse in and on a slight incline,,well forget that as well cos you can't slip the ceramic button clutch and get away with it.

Better off with an organic IF you use it in the city and as a daily driver.

I'm looking for someone right now to fit a MWA option 3.

Hoe does an Option 4 drive as I think they are the same as an option 3 but with a ceramic clutch plate? Option 3 drives better than stock from what I've read, so maybe ACE option 4 won't be near as bad relative to every other ceramic clutch on the market.

From what I understand its not so much the clutch design, rather the material. The ceramic material heats up the flywheel rather quickly and in some situations can weld the clutch plate to the flywheel if ridden alot

My cars in getting an exedy hd fitted now, just the normal heavy duty with the organic plate as I didnt want a cushioned button either, ill let ya know how it is tomoro.
