The Exedy Racing

High performance sports equipment for drift, track and other high-demand mechanical competitions.

Function of embrague

The main function of the embrace is to connect – embrace – and disconnect – the movement generated from the engine with the speed box and the rest of the transmission in vehicles with manual box.

The action is performed by the pedal on the left side.When the pedal is released, i.e. without stepping, the spin movement is transmitted entirely – if the vehicle is not moving is because the box is in neutral – and we say it is embraced; when we press the pedal to the bottom and it is fully actioned, then the desacople is complete and interrupts the movement, we say it is embraced.

At the point where by releasing the pedal the movement begins to be transmitted - point of retention or contact - a patination occurs in the mechanism that favors a soft and progressive start; then by releasing the pedal completely, the transmission movement becomes solidary to that of the engine, practically without mechanical losses or by roasting.

Use of embrague

Every experienced driver knows how to use the embrace in normal conditions to start a stopped car, to change marches and to maneuver in parking situations, change of sense etc

Every driver who starts in the world of sports driving in circuit tandas, track, drift knows that (and if you won’t soon realize) that the embrace that is mounted from origin in your vehicle meets what is necessary for its normal everyday use, but in conditions of high mechanical demand is when the embrace most works.

There are situations in which the embrace suffers fatigue by mechanical stress, usually occurs by intense and continued use, and usually deteriorates prematurely due to two causes:

The driver has a bad habitsometimes it is because the driver uses too much the embrace when parking (a clear burned odor is appreciated) or sometimes it is because he drives with a foot supported on the embrace pedal, thus slightly pressing this and causing the embrace press not to do all the tension it should, causing a premature wear of the disk friction forums.

2 - When we perform a motor power and then we rise the power and engine above the values that the original embrace can endure

In both cases it is appreciated that the embrace is tired when by giving gas suddenly we notice that the engine is revolutionizing but the movement is not transmitted to the wheels and the car does not accelerate.Then it is said that the patina and it is necessary to replace the embrace with another new unit.

Classes of Embrace

There are several classes of embrace but basically there are three types taking into account the compound used in the friction furnace.

Organic embraces, cerametal embraces and carbon embraces

The first is used for normal daily use while the second is used for sports applications.

Carbon embraces are used for high-power cars and in highly demanding high-level sports competitions.

Given the shape of the core of the disk, there are two types, with mole and without mole.

How to Choose My Embrace Right

In order to correctly choose an embrace, it is necessary to know the enhancement we have made or we will do to our car.

If we’re going to make a strength of up to 15/20%, the organic compound of Exedy will be enough to endure the new pair and the new power

If the strength will be greater than a 30/40% then it is advised to use ceramethal compounds, but keep in mind that the ceramethal compound is much more aggressive than the organic and the melting coefficient is very higher and the melting is also, the usual driving by the street can become a bit uncomfortable since the maneuver can become sudden.

In this case, if you choose to mount ceramethal compounds for a daily use car, it is advised to mount a disk with mole and that it has 4 asps instead of 6 so that the car does not become very aggressive in maneuver and in daily driving

The other 6 aspas configurations are recommended for potences greater than 60/70% and multi-carbon disc embraces are recommended for potences close to 100% or more and generally for cars with power greater than 600 cv.

Exedy Sports Organic

More optimized power transmission

A conventional embrace is normally tired when it reaches high temperatures and then patins against the pressure disk causing a loss of par strength.The Exedy Sport S-type kit stands up to the double of temperature and load with respect to the original OEM embrace.

The Exedy cerametal compound is free of asbestos and dangerous substances, it stands much more the temperature in extreme conditions, preserving the motor pair and motricity.

Amortisation with reinforced mushrooms

The Exedy discs incorporate reinforced molds to minimize the impact of the fast chambers and better protect the transmission elements.

Tacto and stable embrague route

Because the conventional embraces heat much more and the material expands, the disc and press contact point could impact on the pedal route.

The Exedy S-type compound has a heat extension coefficient up to 200% less compared to the original piece, keeping an excellent touch and pedal track

Press with a 40% more load compared to the OEM unit

All kits come with disk, press and push cojinet (except Hyper Series)

Exedy Sports Paddle

The perfect package for fast road, tandas and drift

Similar in touch with the organic disk, but this offers a higher bite and a more direct power transmission with minimal losses in the embrace operation.

Press with a 40% more load compared to the OEM unit

The Exedy cerametal compound is free of asbestos and dangerous substances, it stands much more the temperature in extreme conditions, preserving the motor pair and motricity.

Features of Exedy Racing

Circuit and hard track days

This disk is about half thick than the original OEM unit and is recommended only for circuit use.Ultra light disk with less weight, the engine runs faster.

Tacto racing, street use is not recommended for its great bite power, it can make the maneuver operations quite uncomfortable for its daily use.

Press with a 40% more load compared to the OEM unit

Features of Exedy Hyper

The Pro Competition

This kit incorporates a disc of ceramethalic pills with 6 mole, a light aluminium press and a chromoly inertia wheel.Indicated for cars with higher power and tested 40of 0ft/lb.

It is necessary to acquire a new OEM push coat separately.

Hyper Twin and Hyper Triple series are for competition applications and high-power cars,
are for turns around 500 lb/ft and 800 lb/ft respectively

Important note :

The original inertia wheels are praised and imbalanced with the use and passage of time.It is highly recommended to change the inertia wheel or at least bring it to balance.
The embrace kits mounted with old wheels lack guarantee regarding the appearance of vibrations.
