Clutch for 300+ftlbs?

[2winRB25]

I am having a hard time finding a clutch for our cars that supports more than 300 ftlbs or torque.

The Competition Clutches Stage 5 is only good for 450hp and 300ftlbs. And thats a Stage 5!

There have been people make 500 & 600+ hp with turbocharged H22s and f22s. What clutch are they using?

Advice, sources or input on this would be appreciated.

I like a twindisc setup myself.

Ah, I forgot about the twin disc clutches.

I also just found out all Hs and Fs take the same clutch parts.


Taking that bit of information I was able to find this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Competition-...b5dc9d&vxp=mtr

650ftlbs to the wheels. That should work.

Thanks again toycar!

I would be careful, I remember reading somewhere that getting a clutch that is meant for more than what the engine can produce can be harmful. Wish I could be more specific but thought that this might be relevant information. On a side note, when has an H22 ever seen that amount of torque for the clutch on the link? Seems like a small market for that clutch.

Here save some money, no need to get multi disc.

If the OP is pushing over 300ft/lbs he would benefit from a twin disc clutch.



Not needed, maybe. Its getting close to twindisc mandatory territory though. All I said is that I prefer a twindisc at those power levels myself. Its important to avoid the hype and NOT run a lightened flywheel with a twindisc clutch. Just an FYI.


And I do prefer them. I've run many a clutches over the years. Making power like that = I like to stomp on my shit once in a while.


Twindisc = launch monster.





Just sayin. Single disc may be just fine.


If you actually want a neck snapping launch at those power levels in a fwd car, twindisc it is. And I have a feeling 300ft/lbs is only going to be the start of it for the OP too.

Not disagreeing, I just know 75% if not more people on this site are students and/or on a tight/limited budget.

In regards to a neck snapping launch, just let someone who's never driven a manual take you for a ride. You'll get the neck snapped at some point if not whipped into the headrest.

Good point about cost vs performance. You are completely right about that-and I probably did overlook the obvious there.

I'm assuming the OP is going for a crazy turbo setup. Otherwise, he wouldn't be asking for something so specific. Most people that just want "a better clutch" don't need the clamping force. They're the ones that end up wearing their flywheel and pressure plate prematurely for no reason.
When you need it, having anything less is harmful!

But yes, the market is slim for something like that. It takes a good deal of money to build an engine making that much power. Now that the K series has been around for over a decade, the H and F aftermarket is going to start fading away to nothing.
WAY too much power for FWD, IMO... my GTP had 280, and it was 800lbs heavier... and even that sucker (with the obnoxious 4 speed auto and super-touchy traction control... and open diff... ) was difficult to put the power down when you got on it!

Crazy power is great for bragging rights, or if you're trying to prove something on the track... but if the car is ever going to be used for normal street driving, I don't see how so much power could possibly be fun for long.
I dream of big power, but when I get in my near-stock H22-powered CB7, I remember why Honda preferred "torqueless" horsepower. I'm not going to beat any Corvettes with it, but it's going to be fun to drive all day long!

Some of us need crazy power just to enter the track......I mean interstate. You'd swear you can't tell the difference though.

Yeah, I know how that is. People will go 80mph in the right lane on NJ highways. In my Fit, I basically have to floor it and pray!
