Ok I am purchasing a slow boy racing 4500 series clutch with almost 3000 pound pressure plate. I was told by ppl that by having such a heavy duty pressure plate it can give you crank walk?

yes i have been through the search botton!!! nothing there states that about the clutch all i read is that if you have over 100 thousand miles on it an you haven't had crank walk then your fine but a tuner from mia told me it doesn't matter. he said to get the complete oil quirter kit for the 1g and use it on my evo 3.

What other disadvantages is there with a pressure plate so heavy? the reason i ordered this clutch is because later on i am modding my more so to save the hassel of buying 2 clutches i just bought a good one and finish.

 

Anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!?

 

What other setups have you researched? How much power are you planning to produce in the future? Can you afford to purchase a matched clutch/flywheel/cover setup? There are more than a few companies that sell Super single and multi-disk setups for the EVO III.

 

I have been through most of the set ups but my friend was ordering some stuff of of SBR and chris said he was going to give me a deal on the clutch and a ACT flywheel so i just bought it.
Planning on about 450 to 500 whp.
Yes i can aford it.
Ye i know about some of the companies but do you Guys thing that by having such pressure it wil push my crank? Chris at SBr told me it had almost 3000 pressure plate i don't know if i misunderstood him. It would be nice if he can speak to it.

 

Some input here, lol.

 

Have you considered the Titlon, Exedy, OS Giken, ORC, OS Giken, ATS or Cusco multiplate setups? Can you get these in your area? With the exception of Tilton I have had exepirence with all of the other setups.

 

Actually i heard titlon isn't nay good at all, i read in a thread someone was saying that it only last like couple months and they contacted the company and they said it was a faulty intalled clutch but they person said they had someone check it and it wasn't.
I do some access to those clutches also but i stated why i went with the SBR.

This is the clutch. 4500 SBR Kit

I think 95 - 99 DSMs had the crnk walk problem, is the evoIII closer to those?

That clutch looks to be the exact same equivalent for an evo3 as an exedy stage 1 for an VIII.

Id say go for it if you can find a way to periodically monitor if crankwalk has or is occurring

But don't take my word for it,

anyone else?

 

The last EVO III's were produced in the spring of '96. So, yes, the EVO III's motor is the same as the '95-'99 GSM's. There are more than a few 400whp+ EVO II's and III's near me that use Japanese made Exedy, OS Giken, ORC, OS Giken, ATS or Cusco multiplate setups without causing crank walk issues.

Also, the springs on many high performance dampened disk setups usually fail while the disk has plenty of life on it.

There is a serious price difference of $800 or more but you will be receiving a flywheel, multi-disk, lighter but stronger cover and a high performance release bearing.
