Very nice! What apex seals and engine management are you running in that thing? And is it an RE, as someone already asked?

I love my Tilton clutch but I'm not running a FD trans. You could always switch to a FC bellhousing and use a traditional slave/fork setup.

All you need is-

Tilton 7.25 twin disc clutch with the Mazda spline.
TII bellhousing, throwout fork, throwout bearing, and slave cylinder.
Flywheel for tilton clutch.


It would be cheaper to buy a used clutch off eBay. You can pick them up for around $200. Then buy a brand new set of discs (Mazda spline) for about $200 and get a flywheel (i paid $450 for mine). So for $850 you have an absolutely bullet proof setup.

Like said all stock t11 parts no need for the tilton hydrolic throw out setup. The t11 is a push style.

Slipping puck clutches will smoke them in no time. They dont' like to be slipped and will overheat very fast and grenade.

Exactly. The only non factory part you need is the clutch and flywheel, everything else will be factory Mazda parts.

Tilton clutches DO NOT like to be slipped. They will digest themselves within a few passes if you try and slip them. It would be better to do a boost by gear and leave at less boost or run the tires at a little higher pressure so it will slip the tires a little at the launch.

Those Puerto Rican's are brilliant at extracting huge amounts of power out of the 13B.

What I wanted to know was what brand of apex seals were used in the build, since you mentioned it was not PTS.

I hope you guys know that you simly just can't swap a T2 bellhousing onto a FD trans because the input shaft is much longer.

The 'rally' type which has the thicker pads on the clutch disc normally takes the slipping a lot better. If you can afford it the way to go would be with the carbon clutch setup. It will take all the abuse and slipping that you need not to mention much less shock on the drivetrain.

This is another alternative.
