Like say a OS Giken Twin Disc setup for an SR20DET? Will those bolt up to a CA18DET? If not, does anyone know of a clutch/flywheel setup that will hold 500hp?

Thanks!

Flywheel is too big for the bellhousing.

Well same transmission, maybe diffrent gear ratios. But diffrent bell housing.

Im going to use a KA ACT clutch. It fits with 5 seconds of customizing.

the Pulsar OS GIKEN twin plate SR clutch works, someone is using it, do a search for NISMO SR & CA clutches and see if it is in there..

it is the same guy who has the CA in a S14...

A stock SR flywheel might not fit, but remember that a lot of the multiple disc clutch/flywheel kits come with reduced diameter flywheels, so they may be closer than you think...

i have also noticed that:

OS GIKEN EXEDYa nd others have kits for the RB20 & RB25 that are 225mm and 215mm disk diameter, now i dont know if that means that the flywheel in the kit is smaller in diameter, but someone with access to all these exotic clutches should try a couple of the RB clutches and see if any work, the splines are the sme for sure, just need to ensure that the flywheel mounting bolts are the same and the diameter clearing the bellhousing on the CA transmission.
