Ok my engine is at the machine shop currently and b4 it can be balanced I needed to get my clutch . My conservitive hp goal is 600 to start .The breakdown on the engine is fully flowbenched and cnc machined head match ported intake (greddy) and header Q45 tb,stock cams all else titanium exc valves (stock).Bottom end, je pistons ,total seal rings,not sure on the rods yet mabye spool my machine shop guy will be x-raying and stress testing to see if shot peening and cryo will get me in the same ball park as am rods.Balance blue print (that's why he needed the clutch). Micro polished and lightened and knife edged crank, oil ports champhered,acl bearings.Arprod and main bolts, and to keep it all together a cometic head gasket and arp head studs. He will also be opening the oil drain returns throught the head and block and grooving the head to make the oil flow to the drans .N1 oil pump new water pump , new idler pulleys and greddy timing belt.He will be making a crank collar and putting a keyway on the crank and collar and pressing it on so it will never move( the reason I am rebuilding the engine in the first place) Now to my question at 600 hp what will the torque be I got an ACT clutch from daryl at act that is capible of up to 600ft lbs torque . I would like to enjoy this clutch for a while b4 having to get a twinplate. The turbo will be GT35R 1000cc rc injectors fuel rail 2 walbro255's. Thanks in advance for the input. And if anyone else has anthing to add to my list of inportant things to get feel free

I feel like I'm talking to my self .The only thing I found was a rb26 that was 505 bhp 400 lb/ft torque atf but was un sucessful finding a conversion from bhp to hp I know bhp is measured diffrent fron hp but torque ts the same.

Why don't you go to Skylines Australia? Look through their dyno thread and find out what clutch people are running that have similar horse power to what you plan on making.

bhp * x = n, bhp - n = whp where x is .15-.20 for drivetrain loss.i normally use around 18% as a high figure to get a lower bhp readout as an unerestimation of power output.
