Only my thought. I could be wrong.
I wasn't clear in my response. The GT2 had a stock clutch when Todd received it. Todd developed a twin disc (his own design) based off using Sach single disc pressure plate and disc(s). Todd first built the clutch for another GT2 he did and I'm pretty sure was the first one to use it, but I ended up taking it out and having him upgrade it w/ the Sach Motorsport pieces for this project.

We have same Van 3.8l build. Todd K installed carbonetics clutch kit and it works good and hold up same Van power so you should be fine.

I decided to go w/ E85 pretty late in the build process, so portions of the fuel system had to changed from a high hp gasoline build that was already in place. I do not know the specifics of what pumps and what line diameters, ect. Todd did e-mail that in order to run safely @ the new horsepower level two lines would need to be upsized from where we began w/ his E85 system.

Congrats! I'll be interested to hear how you like Todd's modded Sachs motorsports twin disc clutch as that is what we plan to use (instead of a triple carbon) on my 996TSCab 4.0L E85 conversion, currently in progress at Protosport in NJ.

Very nice. I'll let you know my thoughts on the clutch. What turbos are you using on this build? Best of luck.

We initially planned on A3076's, buy I think Todd's latest idea was the GT35's.

What would be the advantage of the modded twin disc over the triple carbon?

I assume cost and street driveability, but I haven't ever tested a triple carbon myself yet.

I don't know the torque limits of Tips car, but everything else would fit. You should contract Todd K. directly about the Tips question.
