Rinus Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi guys, at first got stock clutch... then came the oppertunity to fit second-hand os giken twinplate, think now it's time to rebuild the clutch because the pedal is very deep and when fitting it the discs they where a bit worn already. rebuilding it wil be as much as rps max street with streetdisc... the maximum what I ever will get out of the engine will not be more than 500hp (when stock turbo's die, I will go small single) *os giken is a bit to rattling (at lower revs) and when shifting quickly the tranny bangs a bit... at the traffic lights it like's to go really slow (no gas, only clutch release and then on to gas) or fullpull... - Am i stupid if I take the rps clutch instead of the os giken?? like to go 2 times a year nordschleiffe and 3/4 drift days a year, what is the best option for me??

Luxluc Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have an RPS max street clutch with RPS lightened flywheel. I love this combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinus Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I like the gain in hp of the lighter flightwheel, I read it could be 20 rwhp... but the rattle of it when you are just cruising and takes a slow corner and when softly hit the throttle; rrrRRRRRrRRrRrRRrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 i have the same combo, but the rattling can be annoying from the flywheel:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The noice of the flywheel is there ... of course. Can be annoying if used on a daily basis ... I like it however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botachi Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have the RPS triple-carbon clutch. DOn't know what exactly the model anme is, just saw it when we dismantled my car before (got it 2nd hand with the clutch already in). I love it, previous owner told me that RPS told him (yeah, maybe load of bull) that if you don't drag or drift the car everyday, the clutch should last forever. IMHO pretty happy with my RPS clutch, although the rattle can be very very annoying. But perfectly streetable, softer than stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireRZ-S Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 RPS clutch all the way i dont have any mad rattling at all because the bearing was also changed just get a little mad rattle when im heading off in 1st gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinus Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think I will go for stock flywheel (absorbs the rattling)and rps streetmax... would like to take the carbon but is much more expensive, isn't it? also new bearing indeed don't take that risk and make the clutch pull again, os giken is with a system that push the clutch...

JamieP Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have a rps street max on my original flywheel, great clutch, soft and no noise, its handled 550bhp and 530ftlb and all the abuse i can chuck at it. (and thats a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinus Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 it can't be worse than the os clutch in the traffic , and it's good to know it handle's 550 hp... at the flywheel btw, or rwhp? and with streetdisc or 6 puck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 flywheel and street disc, done trackday and santapod with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 flywheel and street disc, done trackday and santapod with no problems. as you know i ran that same setup for 2 years and no issues, i now think i should have left the stock flywheel in it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If mr diff killer has abused it then thats a good combo. FYI - Mr diff killer is jamieP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 as you know i ran that same setup for 2 years and no issues, i now think i should have left the stock flywheel in it:) Yup, its because of your car i went with that clutch.

Rich Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 likewise for me-RPS street max,single turbo and it handles it fine with no probs.Only thing I can criticise is quite a heavy pedal feel in comparison to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinus Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 ok than will take rps...best of both worlds cause I don't think will go any further than 550hp, is there good upgrade for the "weak" j-spec turbo's and I don't mean uk-turbo's, cause than has to change the exhaust manifold... like to make more than 1.2bar(thats max for these turbos), also need a little bit bigger injectors I think, and will the walbro 255ltr do the job? I'm running 1.0 bar now... 1st cat empty, 2nd decat(hks),catbackhks, NO restrictor ring:blink:, with ring 0.8bar I emtied 1st cat, because I bought complete uk exhaust and that didn't fit at the turbo elbow... could not wait anylonger, first fitted it with ring cause was thinking it would spool up the turboos too much, 0.8.... so tried it without the ring and that was the best upgrade till now:d *maybe better new topic??
