i have my tilton flow valve on the way, and if summits time line is anywhere near correct, it will be on 3-6. cutting it close for an event id like to make.

my question is if anyone minds divulging information, what orifice is everyone using?

 

we have always had the smallest one in place -- the one that will "slip" the most

 

i have the largest one in, but now we got a dog box so it dosnt matter

i didnt know summit carried the valve. good to know

are you running a carbon twin innes?

 

nah, we have always run the Tilton Cerametallic Twin Disc

 

hmm. maybe ill have to try the smallest oriface. i run the same clutch but have always been hesitant at running the smaller ones with a cerametallic.

not sure if it matters now

 

sorry for the dumb question, but anyone using this on clutches other than tiltons?

 

we use it on our bug. & we use the small one as well . but its not with a tilton clutch

 

my clutch isnt a tilton either......exedy twin.

 

Did you call to make the order? When I ordered my tilton throwout bearing parts I asked if it was really going to take aslong as the website noted. What they did was call them while I was holding on the other line. basically we got it a week and a half after ordering instead of a month.

Might want to call and see what you can find out.

I use the smallest hole as well.

 

i used one on a action clutch......and i used the largest orifice.

 

I have a exedy twin and I have one. I have the biggest oriface in it but I have not had time to test the rest.

 

Ya you dont have to use a Tilton Clutch setup with the Tilton Flow Control Valve. Can be used in Twin Discs or regular Single Discs. As long as you can put fittings on your hydraulic lines, you can use it.

I usually stock several sets all the time if anyone needs it ASAP.

 

is the exedy a carbon or ceramic?

 

DAMN, it would be hard for me to justify paying $170+ tax and shipping for a piece of aluminum the size of a quarter, I understand what it does but damn.

 

the valve i will be using came from a mate that worked with hydraulics, no idea how much they are tbh as it was free, its quite small and will fit inline easily, its adjustable without messing about changing orifices or re-bleeding, you could have it in car if you wanted i guess, it has numbered increments so you can easily note settings that work well and reset it to work without slipping the clutch if you wanted.

looks similar to this (mine is with a mate that will be making up the clutch line)

 

You can think of it as spending $170 on a piece of aluminum than can save parts rather than breaking a $1500 axle or $1000+ on fixing a broken transmission, plus the waste of time and money going to the track and not being able to make any runs due to breakage.

 

ceramic

 

Well, our car hasnt been as extreme as most peoples are. I understand its function, but the price is just for the Tilton name on it.

 

you do understand that the tilton fcv is not just a restrictor valve, right?

because thats exactly what your picture looks like. you better read up on what exactly the tilton fcv does..

 

is there another brand making one?

taylor race has/had fair prices on the valve, just to pass some info along.

 

So are you suppose to keep going down in orifice size until you feel the clutch slip after shifts? I guess my question is how do you know what orifice size to use? We just put the Tilton valve in our car with the large orifice and can't feel any difference.

 

i dont think it is designed to "slip" noticably. just enough to get everything moving together kinda like preloading.
