Anyone know anything about their twin disc?

 

i have heard very good things about it. it can take the abuse of drag racing. before the venom team switched to the tilton c/f, they ran the OS giken without failure. in japan its actually pretty affordable, but by time it gets here its like $1500+. I think a better buy by far is the tilton twin disc metal, which concidentally Viren is doing a group buy on. You should hit him up.

I think the tilton is a better choice not only because of price, but because tilton is located in america, and finding replacement parts shouldn't be an issue. on the other hand, i think if you screwed up a os giken, you'll have a hard time getting parts, and even when you find them, waiting for it to come from japan is a pain.

 

What do you want to know? How much horsepower are you making or intend to make? What's your budget?

 

What kind of clutch are you running now Mike on your nine second crx??

 

i'm using an OS-Giken twinplate clutch in my Civic. It originally was from an FD3S RX7, and then was modified to fit into my D16Y8. It has never slipped. Even when I was boosting 1.6 bar, it still held on tight. And i've been using it for over a year now. Its also caused me to break countless amounts of driveshafts lesson i've learnt from using OS clutches.. never drop the clutch in 1st with a stock D16Y8 driveshaft.

OS-Giken

 

I got a few twin disc metal metal units that are coming in. I will sell you a setup twin disc for 1260 shipped. This is excellent unit.

 

I have only heard one bad thing about the os geiken clutch and that was from the guys at hpracing/toyomoto lance. He bought one for hte prelude and destroyed in houston. First time i have ever seen a twin disc unit really fail. Go figure... But other than that i just dont like to wait for parts to come in especially os geiken stuff.

 

Thanks everyone...I was just wondering about their clutch for a general purpose. I always hear about tilton stuff, but I know OS peices are good to so I wanted to hear if anyone had a personal experience with them.
