Default Single disk option for V160?

The cost of the twindisk is fairly steep, whats the diff between this and a single and can I use my current Flywheel if I go with the V160 swap?

The flywheel is completely custom. You would have to check with Full Blown to get the entire details for the single disk. I think most of the V160 users chose the twin disk.

There was also mention of it using all the stock v160 components such as the clutch plate, pressure plate, shift fork, slave cylinder, etc.

The initial cost of a twin disk setup is very expensive, but it is also rebuildable for a small fraction of the initial cost. A twin disk will provide more clamping force without having a really stiff clutch pedal feel like a high sprung single disk, but if it is OEM it should feel like stock. I'm not too sure of what the OEM Supra clutch is rated at torquewise either.

Full Blown does not offer a single disc. I don't believe anyone else does either.

Correct, but that effort was dropped due to cost. Single disc price would be very close to the twin disc, so he went with twin only.

That is correct guys. When we priced it out, the single disc didn't make that much sense because it was not as affordable as we thought it would be.
