Two questions:
How is does the twin disk feel?

What is the reasoning behind using a 2g head on your future engine? Flow better?

Right now, I really do not like the twin disc. I probably only have less than 20 street miles and maybe 15-20 dyno/highways pulls, and 2 legit track passes. I was used to my Competition Clutch 6 puck and that thing was super easy, now I have to think every time I stop so I don't kill it when I take off and shifting has become a little tricky to try and keep it halfway smooth. If this was more of a daily driver, I think I would find something else next time.

I was thinking 2g head because some of the bigger hp are doing it and I want to jump on the band wagon. I remember Shane did an overlay of Mara's 1g, a customer with a stroker motor with 2g head with a 35r and my car. We all pretty much made the same power but his spooled a little faster if I remember right and he was running half the boost. haha. That was back when I thought I would be able to save money, now the car has been put on the back burner a little bit nad I've been spending money or more fun things.

Yes it is, except for rewelding that damn manifold over and over and over

C3L1CA · 02-28-2010

haha Matt's manifold did suck, but that thing was pretty damn reliable for how much he beat the crap out of it.

Sitting in the garage having a beer with my dad usually end up with coming up with random ideas.

= 28 lbs of weight savings and something else to keep me busy.

Also painted my Kirkey black today and looks pretty good I think.

There is something else more fun?@!!!
(i'm being serious here)

I am thinking about getting on the 2g head bandwagon too.

sleepydsm · 02-27-2010

Hmm, Maybe I WON'T get a twin disk then. Thanks.

TkrPerformance · 02-27-2010

The twin will get easer to drive. I have been driving the evo with twin disks for 2 years now. There is no way in hell I will go back. It is so much nicer than the talon and hatch act's and the act 2900 that was in the evo to start with.
It took me a while to get use to it and not killing it at lights. You will get really good driving on it when you get stuck in rush hour traffic.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 02-27-2010

I would take an ACT 2100/2600 sprung 6 puck or Comp Clutch stage 4 over most clutches. Hold good torque and easy to drive. The 2900s were always junk and most of the cheaper American twin disc setups are a pain to drive, while an Exedy twin disc for the Evo is childs play to drive.

Haha I think I spent almost every dollar I had on this car last year, I think I just got a little burnt out. Also not driving it makes me not really miss it either, I'm sure once sumemr comes around I'll wish I would've saved more and have a built motor ready and waiting when the stock one goes.

You could come try and drive it if you wanted. They do hold power and will let you shift at a high rpm if you have a tranny that can handle it.

Thats good to hear that it should get easier. I think I would pull off and go get food if I got stuck in traffic with this car. I got stuck last year in stop and go once and wanted to shoot myself. I couldn't imagine adding a twin disc into the mix.

I loved that Comp stage 4, wish I could have just been happy at 450 and called it quits.

Poor sunroof.

C3L1CA · 02-28-2010

It had it coming, always wanted to do a carbon plug some day but never had the money and this is free since we had everything laying around the garage.

1QUICK4 · 03-01-2010

Damnit Brad, If you keep it up your car will look like this by next season

And it will still run high 10's

C3L1CA · 03-01-2010

I think I would cry if it ever got that far and I was still only running high 10s. I pretty sure I learned this unhealthy obsession with weight loss from a galant guy who cut out the stock support on his hood to save weight

Really I just want a 9.99 slip someday with this car and a 150mph trap. Once that happens I'll really try and sell it hardcore or just enjoy driving it with the random frum rolls here and there. I think it'll be a long time before I reach either goal, but thats the plan.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing to mine. I would much rather find the carbon plug though.

turbotalon1g · 03-01-2010

3-6 months then? lol

**asshanson** · 03-02-2010

Same here. Mine doesn't even work, didn't know you could buy replacements for the entire assembly.

I can only wish, but not getting my hopes up. Figured I probably cut close to 200lbs out of the car since the last track visit and should be making around 70-80 more awhp. Really just want that damn 150 trap. haha

Yea I would have rather just bought a carbon plug too, but the one time I found one online it was like $200+ and I can't justify spending that much money for a plug.

I think there is a place or two that makes replacements but they are two expensive for my blood.

Maybe I'll put a roof scoop on it while I'm at it to be like the F&F eclipse.

How about you come down to TX in 2 weeks, TX2k10 baby let me get you on film tearing up some supras and shit.
