CFDF Clutch Question

[fatherbubble]

Does anyone know exactly how much HP and Torque you can put on a CFDF Clutch??

Call them up and ask but if I were to guess I would say somewhere in the 300-325

They say 280 on Torque but I already passed that up and it's still holding tough. I thinking my torque will be at the 350 360 mark after the new engine is done with the turbo setup i got.

These two CENTERFORCE DF536010 Centerforce Dual Friction Clutches Clutch Kit - Metallic - 7 - 8 In. Diameter Shaft - 20-spline - 8.875 In. Diameter Disc - Dodge - Eagle - Mitsubishi - K... | StreetPerformance.com

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch: 90-99 Eclipse

websites quote 90% over stock, so 210x1.9 = 399 hp. I run the same clutch and I believe they are rated up to 400hp.

Well, for now. If you're outrunning their ratings, it won't for long.

Actually clutches are rated for torque and not hp.

Do you have any dyno's runs, etc so you know exactly how much torque your making or are you just estimating that you have more then 280 ft/lbs? Also are you talking at the crank or at the wheels? It looks like your currently on the stock turbo? If so I highly doubt your making more then 280 ft/lbs at the wheels.

280 ft/lbs seems kinda low for the CFDF, are you sure on this? I thought it was around the 350-390 ft/lbs range? I don't have any dyno pulls so I don't know what kind of torque I'm actually making. My DSMLink logs say around 330 at the wheels & compared to my old mans 95 vette thats rated at 350 ft/lbs from the factory, it pulls much harder, so I would say the DSMLink estimate is probably in the ballpark. I probably have 35K or so on it & so far its still holding fine.

True. I forgot what stock torque on the DSM was so I used hp, but you get the idea stock torque x 1.9

the 280 is what CF said I had 285 on DSMLink with a 0% drivetrain loss on it. Last night Bill at Showdown told me the engine was pushing well over 450 HP an the clutch was holding good. I'm trying to be safe right now instead of being sorry latter on. RRE had it on there website RRE's Eclipse Clutch Pedal Effort and Throw Out Bearing Pressure

Ok I was finally able to get a call back from centerforce. They rate it at 390lbs of Torque but it can hold more. I also found out that they don't offer a replacement disk for the CFDF but the CFDFX they do.
