we used a spec stage 3+ with stage 5 disc in my brothers car.

10k miles, over 400bhp, no problems so far

Hi

i think 400hp would be not enought or to near on the boarder, is should be a little bit oversized but not to much

i'am now i contact with carbonetic, exedy is to expensive, is there anyone with a feedback for me?

the rating of the stage 5 is 570lb/ft.

we used however the stage 3+ cover etc with a stage 5 disc.

better than stock feel on the pedal but massive ability.

http://www.specclutch.com/cars/Toyota/MR-2/1994/Single

the turbo is at the bottom.

but each to their own on clutches i afraid, we have good feedback and others dont like them, so i would look for what you think best.

the specs need bedding in properly for a good 500-1000miles before any hard use which is a pain but then other than that its had some serious abuse and no complaints after 10k

Hi,

to late :(
meanwhile i bought a ATS single carbon clutch :)

i found nearly all twin clutches handle so much NM -> 600PS and more

my thinking was relatively simple, better a broken clutch as a broken gearbox (in hope that the gearbox can handle this :lol: ) , after some mails i decided to go with the Spec2 design and a 1900kg plate which give me a absolute maximum of 600PS in form of a single clutch with less parts, wheight and complexity, the only one point she is rated with up to 20% more pedal force, we will see.....
