Doing a powerglide conversion in my r31, was wondering if it was worth upgrading the flex plate? ill be looking at around 500kw at the wheels, what power can a standard one handle? cheers

Im pretty sure it will disintegrate at that power level :S Sounds like a tough build though

Standard one should last a little while. Prob best to upgrade if you don't want to be changing it at a later date.

Seen them go at around 350

I sell Yellow Terra flex plates for rb30's

l ***ed mine up bad with 500 rwhp

How much are the yella terra ones you sell? And do they give any idea on power rating?

Are people literally breaking them? I have pulled out a very bent one at over 500 moroso's but still intact

From lookin' at pigsy's one it literally flexes (funny that) and tears material out of the center in huge chunks like its grinding on the stally or something

RB30 heavy duty auto flexplate = $345 they dont have a rating but i havent heard of one breaking..

mmmm sound like the way to go

mine went at 510rwkw mark. its not so much the power its the hard transbrake launching and how much traction u have. i got about 20 launches befor i ripped the guts out of it, now upgraded to yella terra one. they will never brake

ive seen ppl reinforce there own with a laser cut plate made to the centre of the flex plate and weld that in

Those yella terra ones are they sfi approved?? Mine is reinforced haven't had any problems but andra want them sfi approved

id say the reinforced one would almost be just as strong if not stroger because of the reinforcing ...
