So mfactory have finally released their twin plate to the market!



http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...1077622&page=2

I believe their price is $1500 which sure sounds like a great price, albeit curious to see what friction material they've used and how it compares to the spec product!

Surely they seen the spec issues and made full faced discs.
Mines pretty noisy.

Mfactory provide good service for lsds so hope these are just as successful

Yes I agree

[2jzn54]

these are puck discs not full faced

[MFactory]

Technically, they are 6-puck, but they are actually full-face with small "ridges/gaps" in them.

You can see them in the image above if you look along the edge of the discs.

i stand corrected. wasn't sure if the pic was your race version which is available or street version which is still a WIP.

No worries

It's hard to make a cerametallic full-face due to warpage during heat treatment, hence why we've had to make these "ridges/gaps". This is also why most proper full-face discs are organic.

With our new compound/design, we are trying to find the compromise between performance (i.e cerametallic) and driveability (i.e full-face)

Whilst we are working on a street-spec (i.e organic discs + lighter diaphragm), we want to finish testing the current version to the limit first.

What is the ETA on the street version? And what will the main differences be? Besides the chatter and pedal feel. MFactory

Why not full face Kevlar and are you guys using a steel or aluminum lwfw ? How much tq is this kit estimated to hold

[DR-JEKL]

There is another twin plate alternative from xtreme clutches but its a puck clutch for race use and will have a short life being ceramic friction materiel

http://online.autoinfo.com.au/oscar/...8BCA6FD2015979

I believe these are around $1500 usd also

[MFactory]

Kevlar will slip more, but won't hold as much torque as Cerametallic. We are looking into Organic vs Kevlar for the Street-spec.

We are using a Steel Flywheel with all of our clutches.

As for the tq capability, we have still to test this to the limit.

[davidwarren]

might be a dumb question, but the posts the pressure plate bolts to... are those a bunch of washers?

[MFactory]

Yes, those are washers.

As the discs wear down, you an remove some washers to tighten the gap between the worn discs.

How much tq can cerametallic hold because the motiv twin full face Kevlar clutch kit holds 900 tq ?

Carbon -> Cerametallic -> Kevlar -> Organic

I'm guessing in terms of NVH =

organic -> kevlar ->cerametallic -> carbon?

[MFactory]

Organic -> Kevlar/Carbon -> Cerametallic

[DR-JEKL]

So has anyone installed one of these things yet?

would love to see some feedback

[MFactory]

Both Street (sprung hub) and Race spec are now available

[DR-JEKL]

Damn I only bought a spec stage 3+ last month

Any review on any of the units? How's the rattle on idle?
Can you please explain what's the difference between the 2 offerings.

Thanks

i have the race version. rattle at idle is significant, but it doesn't bother me.

there is little to no slip and a narrow engagement point, both to be expected. there is a lot more shock to the driveline also to be expected. it bites hard and the rattle is only at idle and youll get some light clatter at low rpms in higher gears

the only difference afaik is the street version is sprung.
