I searched and found very little info on the HKS twin disk clutch or any other multi disk clutch for that matter; It seems as most ppl here go with ACT.

I just ordered a slightly used one and wanted to hear some opinions, warnings, anything you guys can tell me about it; it's the one with the sprung center hub and lightweight cromoly flywheel. BTW, I have an ACT Prostreet light fly (9lbs?) that I never installed cuz I didn't have the clutch, how does it compare to the included fly?

I'd like to know what to expect, i.e., chatter, vibration, noise, pedal effort, life expectation, etc. So far all I've read is that it should surpass single disks in torque holding, may chatter at low rpm starts and pedal effort should be close to oem, it may vibrate when not engaged??? How is it for normal street driving? Drag? Autox or track days? How does it compare to ACT S/S? Thanks all!!!

fyi, stock 13B-REW, sequential twins, shooting for ~360whp.

 

imo over kill for your setup but if its anything like carbons really smooth and quite release

 

actually carbon clutches are loud as hell.

 

First of all they are not "loud as hell" because they are carbon, it's because it has multiple disks...
Second of all they are NOT that loud. They just rattle a little bit when the clutch is disengaged do to the "floating" center plates not having pressure on them.

I would have stayed with the ACT s/s setup. Best clutch evar, IMO.

 

i know its too much for my power levels but it was a good deal so i bought it

i'm actually over built for my setup anyway, 850/1300, 4" DP 3.5"MP, 3bar map... I guess i'll be ready for the bnr's when my stock twins die

anyone using it or a similar twin disk setup that can comment? should i sell it and get an act kit?

 

i hear there alil heavy on the foot. that all i know.

 

I didn't like mine and ended up selling it. It was like a switch, all or nothing. Would have been fine for a drag car, but not very street friendly.

 

I beg to differ. I have had the twin plate clutch from HKS for 4 years now. It's quite good. It has good driveability, ofc it does not like queue driving. But it's decent to drive off with. Ive put in about 18 000 miles on mine, during those 4 years. And in changing out the plates this year.

It is heavy on the foot and is pretty damn loud. Most of us have an exhaust on our FD's so i'm not sure if you'd even hear it, but I could hear the HKS twin carbon clutch on a friend's 700hp evo...that's a loud DSM.

 

Ok bud.......I think I've installed/driven more multi-disk clutches than you've heard or seen. But your probably right
