Me too!
It should have low pedal pressure, low noise and it has a sprung hub.

Cool looking clutch. Was the one that held 330nm just the stock clutch? Then you upgraded to 500nm... so what's the rating on this one?
Pedal pressure is presumably just directly proportional to the friction coefficient and the spring plate spring rate, so will be interesting to find out the driving characteristics of this new one. I'm gonna guess to get a light pedal pressure it will be a bit grabby. |

300 Nm was Spec stage 2+, the current 500Nm is a Spec stage 3+. Both Spec are quite streetable, very light and not grabby.
If you go up to a stage 4 and above you are getting puck style clutch with unsprung hub. Not my favorite type...
The new Uniclutch is a twin disk, game changer, you can have a light pedal pressure without a supergrippy friction material and still be able to hold an enormous amount of torque. Uniclutch also have a sprung hub. The downside is that they can be noisy depressed because lose plates but it should be minimized with springs to keep the plats from rattling.
Its rated to 1320 Nm, with a continuous torque rating of 30% less than that, so a 1000Nm? I won't come close to that!!
And its not that expensive, about $1000. Considering the price of Spec or an original clutch and that you don't need to refinish the flywheel (a feature with the uniclutch) its almost a bargain.

Some new goodies turned up from Mittelmotor.

Weight difference between original pistons and rods to my Omega pistons and Mittelmotor rods.
A HUGE 276 grams!! (about 0.6 lbs) Per cylinder!

Thats pretty crazy. New engine should feel a lot different i think.

Do you have a rev limit in mind for this build?
Volumetric efficiency isn’t really a problem any more for you with the big turbo , it’s just what the internals can take… |

7500 is my thinking.
I think Joakim said he takes his to 8000+, he has some other valves and springs too.

Did some calculating of forces on piston acceleration piston+rod weight.
Original rods/pistons and current limiter 6700 rpm:
1481 gram: 41350 M/S2 => 61250 N
New /rods/pistons at 7500 rpm:
1204 gram: 51815 M/S2 => 62380 N
Roughly the same forces, 1.85% more with the new configuration and the ARP rod bolts are stronger than the original stuff.
If I didn't have any brain farts I think 7500 will be perfectly fine! Assuming the valves hangs on and the head/cam still can breathe.
