Hello,
I am basic BPU for the time being...i dont have any plans to take this car to big single or anything in the near future so I am looking for suggestions on a nice clutch kit for my car...
BTW i did search this and couldn't find an up to date thread on this exact issue..
when i bought this supra around 6 years ago the previous owner had put a brand new stock clutch kit in the car but left the flywheel...when i bought the car i immediately put BPU mods on the car as listed in my sig and its been that way ever since...Ive only put about 5k miles on the car since then, but I feel like the cluthc is still good but the stock flywheel is worn pretty bad...
Im gonna take this opportunity to put a brand new clutch and brand new flywheel in the car so I am asking for everyone's opinions on a nice clutch and flywheel combo..
Basically I want a clutch that feels like stock but can hold just a little more power.(im surprised how well the stock clutch holds 400rwhp)
I also kind of want an upgraded flywheel but i DO NOT want it to rattle and make noise (my stock one does this now and i hate it)
My biggest concern is a heavy pressure plate that can cause problems in the future i.e crank walk....i dont want this to happen...

So i guess what i am asking is for a clutch that feels, sounds, and acts like stock but is upgraded..if thats even possible..
any suggestions will help me out
thanks
Anthony

Suprised so few replies

My car is BPU, probably running around 400BHP and a year or so ago my stock clutch started slipping and I went for a Centerforce Dual Friction after doing quite a bit of research. I'm really happy with my choice, although i've probably put less than 2000 miles on it as yet. I notice it grabs more than a stock clutch but is no heavier (as best I can tell) although coming with an increased pressure plate. I fitted a new stock flywheel at the time.

I went with a South Bend PP (which is a modified oem unit) and new stock clutch & flywheel. The increased pedal pressure is very slight, it doesn't rattle in normal driving and holds the power just fine.

^^^^ anyone experiencing any crank walk issues with a setup like you have....thats my biggest concern with the upgraded PP
Ill prob just end up going with a stock flywheel...seems to be the most logical choice and i know it wont rattle

Not that I've heard. I do have the clutch safety switch bypassed (start the car in neutral with clutch engaged.) My car has about 92K on it and used to have a much stiffer ACT PP. No sign on crank walk so far.

^^^ thx i have been wanting to do the switch for the clutch for a while now so i dont have to push it to start the car for the crank walk reason..i have about the same miles as you have.

I cant seem to find any good directions for doing the clutch bypass mod....I dont like to just go cutting wires without being 100% sure with this car

thx
