So is the RWK figure on the clutches true until you throw huge amounts of torque at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3+ is still a single plate clutch if anyone in their right mind thinks any single plate clutch will hold 400kw in all applications eg track, has rocks in his head...

senna_T Forged Member Lifetime Members 15,818 Member For: 17y 10m 22d Gender: Male Location: SW Sydney Posted 19/01/13 04:16 AM Share Posted 19/01/13 04:16 AM I put an Opt 3 in my father in law's GT and it makes around 350rwkw on Nos. Very nice to drive, and holds the power but has only seen one trip to the strip with ET streets, still very good though. I run a Textralia Twin plate in my car and originally it was twin carbon plates. Very noisey, very heavy on the pedal and was tricky to get the car moving smoothly without more than 2k rpm. In saying that the clutch took 50,000ks with around 370rwkw, drag session, powercruise, 2nd and 3rd gear clutch kicks. Even after it started to slip under full load in 4th it was still holding well in all the lower gears.I've had it rebuilt using one organic plate and one carbon plate. I also asked Pete @ Tex to lower the pedal pressure so its a little less draining in stop start traffic. The clutch is much nicer to drive with now, but it won't drop a skid as easily as before. My priority was for street use now so I'm happy with the result. I still think that a Mal Wood Opt5 is the best clutch I've driven in a turbo on the street...

But disappointed that I won't be able to even try semi slicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
