Post clutch conversion

I have the engine and trans out of my 930. I would like to update the flywheel clutch and pressure plate. I have an aluminum flywheel and I would like to get a lighter flywheel and a non-rubber centered clutch disc. Any suggestions?

I guess what I was trying to say is that I would like to eliminate the rubber centered clutch disc and replace it with something lighter. I would also like to replace the pressure plate with a lighter unit.

I bought the stock 77-78 Turbo Carrera spring centerd clutch set up for my '87 putting out 345 rwhp. No problems to date.

Try:www.kennedyeng.com/index.htm
I believe they have a light weight clutch set up.

Vertex also may carry a light weight clutch set up. I know their stock 77-78 Turbo Carerra spring centered clutch set up is about $500.

Not sure about the light weight flywheel. Maybe Patrick Motorsports.

I have a brand new in the box flywheel, spring centered clutch and pressure plate for sale. It was purchased for a stock application then decided to go a different route. The parts were purchased from Stephen at Imagine Auto here on the board in case you are interested.

I'm on KEP lightweight clutch. The stock clutch has a clamping force of 900 pouds but the KEP has a clamping force of 3500 pounds with no additional effort needed stepping on it. KEP are known for their good cultches and distributed by many companies such as PowerHaus etc..I got mine from PowerHaus

How much lighter than stock is it.? Currently, the rubber centered clutch disc and pressure plate weigh about 31lbs.
