C-ONE CLUTCH KIT

[pirate125]

Has anyone used the C-ONE performance shown below on their ZZE123 vehicles.

I am thinking about purchasing this set-up for my ZZE123 JDM Runx but I am a bit concerned at the increase in pressure plate clamping force when I compare the C-ONE set-up to the TRD set-up ( http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_clutch.html ). The increase is approximately 500kg (~1100 lbs) more force which is going to be on the crankshaft thrust bearings and I do not want to wear that thrust bearing prematurely if that’s the effect that installing this kit will have on my engine.

Additionally, it doesn’t seem as if I can purchase these parts separately since our local dealer only has the TRD clutch and not the pressure plate (doesn’t know when they’ll get the pressure plate neither can I special-order) and apparently Nengun doesn’t seem to be shipping these TRD items anymore.

Hopefully, one of you guys/gals on the forum have the C-ONE kit installed and can give me any positive/negative feedback about the kit or any other possible options/alternatives I may have.

looks like that clutch is a rebranded ogura hyper-single. I had one in my wagon but removed it due to the amount of noise it made and the fact it didn't like to be slipped at all. http://www.ogura-racing.com/metal_clutch.html

The pedal effort wasn't THAT much over any other HD clutch, the fulcrum design of the pressure plate allows a higher clamp load without an excessive pedal weight.

If you're not turbocharged then the hyper-single is overkill for a 2zz.
