Just wanted to chime in. I completely didn't see this thread but I am more than happy to answer any questions.
We've used our adapter kits on the following clutches.
Exedy Hyper Single
Exedy Twin
Exedy stage 1-2
Competition twin
Carbonetic/ATS single
SPEC (any stage)
ACT (any stage)
SPEC twin
ORC single
OS Giken Single
RPS
XTD(customer used it.....not us)
There might be more out there from customers I haven't heard from but that covers quite a bit of the clutches available. All worked great and engaged like they should.

But you can only take off so much from the bell housing before it will get structurally too weak. I took 13mm off and you could probably get away with a little more but not much more. George's plate is 10mm which basically puts the input shaft as deep as the stock sr20det one into the crank.
Hope battosaii930 gets a resolution though. One possibility is to space out the flywheel but my advice would be to get his money back for his plate and get one from George as I doubt he will be able to remove a total of 19mm from the bellhousing to get the same penetration into the pilot bearing.
Otherwise - mill the plate to reduce the thickness a bit  |
Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear its all working out. Our plate is thinner which allows for all the spacing to have a smaller stackup and allows better engagement of the splines and TOB.
We've had very good success with using the KA/SR carrier. You could try the 30mm one mentioned but it will get the TOB 6mm closer. We try to keep ~.200" away from the pressure plate to allow the fingers to grow as the clutch wears. This is what we were told by multiple clutch companies and is an industry standard.
Lastly please make sure you are using a matched clutch fork and pivot ball setup. The Z33 box went through a change from a long pivot to short and the clutch fork was changed accordingly. Using mismatched parts will cause engagement issues.
As always feel free to call me anytime and discuss and questions or concerns about the swap. I've sold 100+ of these and done a bunch locally with great results.
