COOLING/CLUTCH OPTIONS ON STREET dríven 150 - 200RWKS+ ???

[16bit]

big alloy rad with some water wetter in distilled water will sort your cooling.

add re route for more effect.

clutch just ask any of the many mx5 vendors what they would recommend.

fm2 is good, exedy will have something.

these guys sell a few options.

I am sure you know but a clutch is not rated in power, it is rated in torque. so you need to find a clutch to suit you xyz NM output.

i too have the twin plate organic setup but it appears to only be available in ceramic now. probably not ideal for street use.

Considered oem SE clutch?

Considered oem SE clutch?

I don't know how strong the SE OEM clutch is ???

I will wait and see how the FM2 goes in a mate's MX that is making similar power, otherwise a sprung centre ceramic will be needed....

Hey, I have been through 13, yes 13 different clutches in as many years playing with turbo mx's, plenty of clutches will work, it has a lot to do with your driving style, I have had hyper singles, which exploded, full face non sprung carbonetics carbon, I have had 5 puck sprung and solid centres, at one stage I even had a bpgtr mazda clutch and flywheel, as I said they all work to an extent, weight can be a factor at high rpm which in turn can affect gear changes, that is why all the japanese hi po clutches for sale in a rev speed magazine are only 3 puck, which is what a few of the race guys I have contact with use, not so great for day to day street use as they are pretty highly strung. I have an os giken TS2B twin plate set up and it is nothing short of MAGIC, Tim, Sulli's brother is making similar power to your goals and has an organic 949 racing twin plate and is suitably happy. I know the $1200 od dollars is a lot for a clutch, but take it from someone who has spent many,many nights on a garage floor swapping out clutches, it would have been worse if I had to pay for the privelidge.
Just one experience, to add to the confusion.

Dunno how many torques, but my SE had 174rwkw when I blew it up. It had done 127,000kms including 2 seasons of track days. It never slipped. There looked to be 10-20,000kms left on it. Only replaced and upgraded it because the motor was out and there's the possibility of a proper turbo later.
