Twin disk Clutch :D
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know, I now work for Competition Clutch, and we are in the process of making twin disks setups for the Starion. It will bolt to a g54b, 4g64 or 4g63b wideblock using the stock transmission. we also are making steel flywheels that should weigh anywhere from 14-17lbs. just wanted to let you guys know... once we get them in, ill post pics of the install on my car.. I should be the first to get one in...

What kind of max RPMs will a clutch like this be able to handle? A few of us are thinking of doing the 2.1L 11,000rpm motor and a clutch that will be safe at those speeds would be nice.
Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
Driftnaked, the twin disk will run around 1,400$ maybe a little less/more and rebuilding it is much cheaper, a set of disks are around 300$ or so and the twin holds 750-1,000hp depending on what hat you run. It also will last anywhere from 150-200+ passes at the track and aprox. 20,000 street miles depending on how you drive the car...
DJ, 11,000 rpms should be no problem, these units are balanced, and should have no issues running high rpms. Also, the clutch set up weighs significantly less then the factory starion set up. The factory set up weighs somewhere around 45-50lbs (flywheel,disk,plate), our set up (flywheel,disks,plates) will weigh in around 23lbs or so. Right there it will be much nicer and easier to rev the motor out to 11,000rpms.
Matt, you are/were running a CC twin in your KA?
