Hi guys.
I am looking at turbo charging my GR with an aim around 150KW at the wheels.
I have decided that I will do a manual conversion before I start. I will be going to Engine Specialist Warehouse on Saturday to look at a possible donor. Thanks again AZA for letting me drive yours.
The question is which clutch should I be looking at to handle this. The car is a daily drive so I want the lightest possible one that will last. So far I have been looking at the MBK-7277HD and the MBK-7277SO, or would I be better off looking at EVO III clutches?
Any thoughts?
Which clutch?

Re: Which clutch?
are either of those part numbers for excedy heavy duty?
i think thats a good clutch. ive got it in mind. bit heavy but you get used to it. much better than going button clutch or twin plate and above

Re: Which clutch?
The MBK-7277HD is the way to go. Had that one in with the nos & was pumping out around that kw figure atw.
Still nice & light to use, but never slipped.

Pretty ordinary that Exedy don't publish recommended max torque and power figures for their clutches.
