Also - I forgot to mention - Thee KEP stage 1 puts additional strain on the hydraulic system. My hydraulics had to be completely replaced after 1 month of the KEP.
The stage 2 will put even MORE stress on it, absolutely unnecessarily.
The stage 1 with metalic disk will survive at least 800 ft/lbs.

I've just replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders so should be ok.
I've got new needle bearings for the clutch fork. Do you think the fork will hold up to the KEP stage1 ?

Kep stage I

Lart I meant disc not PP. I've decided to get the ceramic bronze unless it's crazy expensive.

I will need a flywheel/clutch/pp for my 3 liter project, assuming I ever get time to work on it again. (Mine will be primarily street driven.)

I want a clutch that is not a challenging to modulate -- doesn't need to feel like a civic, but I can't deal with a light-switch clutch around town.

I'm planning to use a stock 951 flywheel for civil street driving.

David F., the site you linked says this about your clutch: "The quick engagement/disengagement requires full driver attention."

Is it too touchy to drive around town without fussing at every light?

Any comments on the 930 disk? Is the 930 disk a direct drop-in and, if so, anyone here using one on a 350+rwhp car with the KEP1 -- with good results?

lart951

Me too, the sprung ceramic bronze that's the one

951Boost

I'm with Tom on that one. I'm planning to get my car in the 350/375 HP range so I'm also inclined to go with the 930 disc.

If anyone has experience with the KEP Stage 1 PP and 930 disc please share your thoughts.

How about a Cup disk with KEP1 and stock flywheel -- anyone try that? Good for 425rwhp?

Get one from Marcus Blaszak. He puts sintered bronze bearings in them and welds them up for strengthing. $120USD or so. I have one for my car, and the shop I order parts through has one in their race car.

Brian thanks
I looked at his web site awhile ago but didn't see anything about the clutch fork.
Do I have to send him my fork?

Lart,
I think that is the same disc that David Floyd is using.

special tool

old man Kennedy will only give you twist numbers - not HP.
Tom - you should be okay.

lart951

Yes, it is the same as Pink Floyd is using

theedge

His site doesnt list everything he does. I think he'll want your old fork and the shaft, the shaft gets some work done to it too.

David Floyd

I daily drive my car, you need 1500 rpm or better for a smooth take off, it is really not that touchy.

Now at your favorite dirve-thru, that takes some practice

I am happy with my clutch setup. Now...would I prefer it be a little more forgiving ? sure But I have no worries about slippage.
