Clutch advice
Hey guys.
I'm in the process of installing my HKS T51r SPL turbo. I have all the much needed mods to do this. Won't list them for now.
I'm running a FC transmission in a FD (This came with the car when I got it, not sure why though).
To my question. I've got a Ogura Single Plate Clutch (For an FC) and am wondering whether it will be enough to handle the turbo I'm putting in. I think I read somewhere it can hold around 400 - 450 HP. Anyone speculate on this? (people who have used this clutch)
Also is there much difference between the FC and FD transmission ?
Am I better off just getting another clutch (one that I'm particularly fond of - Exedy D-Core Carbon Twin Clutch Kit FD) and changing over the transmission ?
Ideally I was looking at pushing out 500 +HP and I know that my current clutch will have it's limitations in doing this.
This car will mostly be used for street.
Cheers
Jase

Strange that you have a FC trans in a FD since it mounts completely differently. Do you still have a PPF installed somehow?
Are you sure it is not just a FD trans with a push/pull slave conversion for that clutch?
I prefer the twin disk clutches for cars making over 450whp, I find they last a lot longer and perform better.

I'm not exactly sure Banzai. My mechanic just mentioned to me that it's been converted to FC transmission and using a push type clutch.
Yeah I contemplating the twin plate clutch.
Just on another concern, if you have about 3.5mm of meat left on the clutch. Would it still be good to go for my application ?

This is the reply I got back from ORC regarding the clutch thickness
Dear Jason McKenzie
BG-288:ORC-409D-01Z
The engine torque capacity of 409D is 420Nm(About 400PS).
However, performance is unmaintainable if there is more total wear volume of clutch parts than 1.2mm.
Intact thickness
・Pressure plate : 14.4mm
・Clutch disc : 4.7mm
Thanks.

cheers for the info pal.
What do you think the dyno number would be for this turbo, on pump gas, with a good twin plate clutch ?
Running 2000 secondary and 1600 primary injectors, rotary works throttle body, koyo radiator, greddy intercooler & compression tube, wallbro 400 fuel pump, south coast rotary seals, AEM water methanol kit and some other goodies which i can't remember atm.
The only thing really letting me down is the ORC clutch.

What are you using for engine management? If you are running the old Bosch 1600s I would recommend switching to the newer Bosch EV14 injectors. You will get a much smoother idle and better cruising AFRs. You should be able to break 500 rwhp with that setup providing your fuel system and ignition is sufficient.
