If you want a good clutch that will take nearly any power level you throw at it and at the same time be easily driveable...........you've found it.

But it comes at a cost. Ive bought 3 parts cars for the less than the cost of a new OS Giken.

it'd be my next upgrade if I were still spending money on my car.

Yeah it happens when buying a JDM engine.

I know a friend of mine ended up with an OS twin plate and a nice hybrid snail on the longblock JDM engine he bought a while ago...lucky I guess.

yea im also curios if the engine that i got with that type of clutch was proted becuase that clutch can handle up to 1000 hp so im really curios how many horses my engine has dang that has to be a great deal when it came in the front clip i heard the engien when the guy started it up and it sound good and my friend (whos been helping me with my swap) said that the clutch has serious kick to it

Unless you're making more than 400hp, it's a waste of money.
ACT will handle under 400hp no problem for cheaper.

My friend got lucky just like you and bought a JDM engine and tranny that happened to have an OS set up. Its a single disc and he sold it to me for 200. Its a real touchy set up, theres not much room for play, its either disengaged or engaged. There is no grey area so be prepared for for some head snaping. Other than that its an awsome clutch.
