Mating a 1UZ to a W58 box?

[Mos]

You know how much their flywheel weighs Dave?

The CRS flywheel as supplied is 10.6kg (mine is now 7.8kg).

Use the full CRS kit , ive used a few of them now and very good , they also use a bigger 245mm clutch from a nissan rb30t. with there flywheel.

The clutch plate supplied is 253mm with a 254mm casting on the pressure plate (the casting appears to be the same as the RB30ET). The RB30ET clutch plate appears to be 245mm.
The pressure plate uses a 282mm bolt PCD on a 60 degree spacing which is not the same as RB30ET pressure plate (which is 290mm) - Dave, have you had to get replacements? The RB30ET bits are completely wrong.... ... I have almost conceded to getting CRS replacements.

I currently have a fresh 7MGTE twin plate clutch I am wanting to use so all I'd need to mate it to the 1UZ is a flywheel. Am i correct, or lost the plot?

You would need to measure the PCD of your twin plate setup (or a 7M flywheel) to get an idea if you could use their flywheel directly. You may be able to order it undrilled and then get it drilled for your pressure plate, but that would be a custom order, so more of a pain for them.

Kit should include, bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, fork, slave cylinder, spigot bearing and release bearing. I bought a similar kit, but not from CRS.

In addition it also comes with all bolts, fork pivot and slave cylinder spacer.

The only thing I had to do to get it to disengage is increase the stroke on the standard Altezza clutch master cylinder.

It also doesn't really hold second gear burnouts when the tyres are warm, however the pedal feel is very soft and very Lexusy

Yes they are very heavy i know . I did have the clutch no,s somewhere , i can remember the pressue plate uses 3 3/16 dowel pins and 6 M8 bolts to secure and locate it.

im thinking of getting this full kit my self, would this be enough for a track/drift car?

doubt it

I ran this setup very briefly....wouldn't even take 2psi on the dyno before going up in smoke.

[Johnzoku]

so the CRS kit is closer to a stock clutch kit rather than a high proformance kit?

[Mos]

That's correct. Organic plate with a rather soft pressure plate.
Having said that it survived 5 quarter mile passes and only smoked on one of the 2nd gear burnouts, and had no issues at wakefield. It wasn't until the oil hit it that it started slipping.

[JustenGT8]

Yup, was really designed for hot rodding cruisers and not anything remotely approaching performance

[Johnzoku]

are the flywheels a good unit?

ill probley get the full kit anyway (as it seams to have everything you need for 1600 which would be way cheeper than putting it togeeather your self.

i guess a new clutch combo later when i fry the first one.

[Mos]

It's heavy - I ended up removing 2.8kg off mine - but it's a good quality steel and looks well manufactured. Fn hard to machine and surface
BTW, for the time being I have given up getting a more decent clutch... It's either organic or sprung solid button, neither of which is ideal...

Can they modify the pressure plate for more clamp?

[CrUZida]

Pressure plates can be modded for more clamp, but usually at the expense of a heavier pedal.

Can they modify the pressure plate for more clamp?

flogging a dead horse...there are better options out there

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Mine was just done as part of my clutch upgrade. With a heavy duty organic plate it's never slipped on me once.

you need one of these puppies

[Mos]

I believe you are going soft and removing one of the plates - is that correct?
