Powerdrive XX2 Extreme Duty Clutch & Flywheel Kit - Toyota LandCruiser VDJ70 V8 | 1600

POWERDRIVE XX2 EXTREME DUTY CLUTCH & FLYWHEEL KIT

Toyota LandCruiser VDJ76 / VDJ78 / VDJ79 - 1VD-FTV 4.5L V8 Turbo Diesel

When the X2 isn't enough, step up to the Powerdrive XX2.

Engineered for high-output VDJ70 applications, the XX2 delivers an impressive 1,100Nm rated torque capacity and 1,315Nm peak capacity while still retaining a full-size 300mm Coppermix organic clutch disc.

That's what makes the XX2 particularly interesting.

Instead of achieving its torque capacity through an unnecessarily aggressive clutch configuration, Powerdrive combines its premium Coppermix organic friction material with a substantially upgraded 1,650kg clamp-load pressure plate, while retaining the factory-size clutch architecture.

The result is serious torque-holding capacity in a package designed to retain progressive engagement and real-world drivability.

This complete kit also includes a new nodular cast-iron flywheel, providing a complete ready-to-install solution without requiring the vehicle's existing flywheel to be machined.

1,100NM RATED TORQUE CAPACITY:

Powerdrive rates the XX2 at:

• 1,100Nm Rated Torque.
• 1,315Nm Peak Torque.
• 1,650kg Clamp Load.
• 300mm Clutch Disc.
• Coppermix Organic Friction Material.

Powerdrive's testing rates the original Toyota clutch at approximately 520Nm, meaning the XX2 offers more than double the rated torque capacity of the original clutch.

FULL-SIZE 300MM CLUTCH DISC:

One of the major advantages of the Powerdrive VDJ70 clutch design is that it retains the factory-size 300mm clutch disc.

Maintaining the full friction diameter and usable surface area allows Powerdrive to achieve increased torque capacity without resorting to a larger or unnecessarily aggressive clutch arrangement.

For a vehicle that may spend its life towing, touring, working or travelling long distances, this provides an excellent balance between torque capacity, engagement characteristics and durability.

PREMIUM COPPERMIX ORGANIC FRICTION MATERIAL:

The XX2 uses Powerdrive’s premium Coppermix organic friction material, combining the smooth, progressive engagement of a traditional organic clutch with improved torque capacity, heat management and durability.

This makes the XX2 particularly well suited to modified LandCruisers that need to reliably hold substantially more torque than a standard clutch, while retaining the predictable low-speed control and everyday drivability required for touring, towing and street use.

MODIFIED HIGH-CLAMP PRESSURE PLATE:

At the heart of the XX2 is Powerdrive's modified pressure plate producing approximately 1,650kg of clamp load.

The additional clamp load works together with the Coppermix organic friction material and full-size disc to provide the XX2's substantial torque capacity.

It's an engineered combination of friction area + friction material + clamp load, rather than relying on one aggressive component to do all the work.

NEW NODULAR CAST-IRON FLYWHEEL INCLUDED:

This package includes a new Powerdrive nodular cast-iron flywheel.

For workshop and DIY installations, this is a major advantage.

Instead of removing the original flywheel and arranging machining before the vehicle can be reassembled, the replacement flywheel can be prepared in advance and installed together with the new clutch.

Benefits include:

• No flywheel machining required.
• No waiting for machining during installation.
• Known new friction surface.
• Ideal for DIY/weekend installations.
• Complete matched clutch and flywheel package.

DESIGNED FOR REAL-WORLD VDJ70 USE:

The XX2 is aimed at applications including:

• Higher-output ECU tuning.
• Upgraded turbochargers.
• High-torque 1VD-FTV builds.
• Performance exhaust and intake packages.
• Heavy towing.
• Large caravans and trailers.
• GVM-upgraded touring vehicles.
• Larger tyres.
• Demanding off-road use.
• Customers wanting substantial clutch headroom.

It provides a substantial increase over the capacity of the original clutch while retaining the characteristics we want in a vehicle that still needs to be enjoyable to drive.

VEHICLE FITMENT:

Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series V8 1VD-FTV

• 300mm Coppermix organic clutch disc.
• New nodular cast-iron flywheel.
• Release bearing / applicable clutch kit components.
• Required clutch installation components as supplied by Powerdrive.
  

X2 OR XX2?

The X2 is our choice for the majority of tuned, towing and touring VDJ70 applications where increased clutch capacity and good everyday drivability are the priorities.

For higher-output vehicles, larger turbocharger combinations or applications requiring additional torque headroom, step up to the Powerdrive XX2 - 1,100Nm Rated Clutch & Flywheel Kit.

Both systems retain Powerdrive's full-size 300mm Coppermix organic clutch disc architecture.

GARAGE76 RECOMMENDED:

We've deliberately chosen the Powerdrive VDJ70 range because it offers something we value in a modified touring vehicle: serious torque capacity without unnecessarily compromising the fundamental clutch design or drivability of the vehicle.

The combination of a full-size 300mm Coppermix organic friction disc, increased pressure-plate clamp load and conventional flywheel design makes the XX2 a particularly attractive option for tuned VDJ70s that still need to tow, tour and operate like a LandCruiser.

For DIY customers, the complete flywheel package makes the upgrade even easier - remove the old assembly and install the new matched Powerdrive package without organising flywheel machining.
