hey guys
i got a quick question, and maybe you guys got some solutions.
well i got a rb25 with a ORC single plate 409 clutch, i was an at drift event like 3 weeks ago and after like 5 hours of 3rd gear clutch kicks the disks got hot and started sliping, so i let it cool down and went back out with no problem till i got a few back to back runs and started sliping again. i know that this clutch is rated around 300-350hp but i got it with my swap and it had already 18,000 miles on it so i know that i had to gone tru a lot of abuse.
now i could buy the overhaul kit from rhd japan and call it a day, but i got plans to upgrade the turbo and up the boost so i know the single plate 409 will not hold that power levels keeping in mind also that i will be doing clutch kicks and so on.
the question is can i convert my single plate to a twin plate if i buy the overhaul kit for the 559 series and try and find longer pressure plate bolt and spacers.
i have seen people talk online on doing convertion to twin plate but cant find something solid.
I will appreciate anyones inputs in to this.
