Hey guys,

For those of you pacifically with the Greddy Twin Turbo ( Those without, your recommendations are needed as well ) I was curious as to what you guys prefere for a clucth ( and flywheel as well).

I know a lot of you guys have different clutches and flywheels, but now given your experience with these items--lets get some feedback!!

What clucth/flywheel should I get for my Greddy Twin Turbo?

I'm running a Carbonetics Triple Disc Carbon Clutch w/ 1350kg Pressure Plate.... It's great so far.. They also offer a Twin.

I've heard good things about the GT Motorsports® Spec Exedy® Carbon Clutch Twin Disk too.

Depends on your power, setup, and goals. The JWT setup seems to be good as well, and on the lighter side of the wallet.

What is your HP goal?

Stock block? If so you can run a normal high end clutch like the JWT or CM etc. If you are going for 550+ you will need a twin or tripple plate.

Well...the Carbonetics Triple Disc Carbon Clutch is around $2500. I picked up a RPS system (Clutch & Flywheel)for $1000 and found out it will not hold 550 or 600 rwhp. So I had to buy a Carbonetics.

JWT is a nice setup, if you plan on over 550, then just get a ATS triple and call it a day....

What about 550 here and there with a daily tune of ~450?

I have a new centerforce DFX that I was going to put in with my build but am now starting to think about a dual plate.

From what I was told the carbonetics triple disk carbon clutch is the best for our car with high HP.

I'm at 500 and I have the GTM Exedy Twin and love it. 1350kg pressure I believe. It is very smooth and holds great.

The Carbonetics...formerly ATS have been proven time and time again to be bulletproof at high power levels, and extreme usage. Mine has 25K hard miles on it, with hours of track time....and I am putting it back into with my new setup...no changes to the clutch and flywheel.

We installed our first Exedy twin carbon, and to me, the biggest difference is the complete lack of any unusual noise, and a very consistent and smooth pedal engagement. For guys that want a more OEM feeling/sounding clutch, but still plenty for 500whp+...the Exedy is a great option as well.

There is rarely one answer for a "what is the best" type of question. Define your short term and long term goals, do some research, and then decide. For instance, if you have no plans for high boost, or a built motor, you can use just about any clutch out there with good results.

The reason I like the carbons, is because they last almost forever, and the last thing I want to do, is continually change a clutch/flywheels that slip.

You need to understand that different hp levels and driving conditions will warrant different clutches. Also, remember that tripple carbon fiber type racing clutches become a real pain in the butt for stop and go daily driving. I have a Sachs w/ lwfw (rattles at idle) that is good for 1000 plus hp. But it is a major quad workout and no fun at all in traffic.

When it is time to race, however, the thing is bulletproof.
