About OS Giken

The evolution of OS Giken is a diverse one, beginning in 1960 with Mr. Okazaki’s desire to build a Japanese race engine that could compete with the then current European complement of racers. Over the years Mr. Okazaki worked on various projects ranging from motorcycles to 4-wheel drive automobiles. But the OS Giken company was officially founded in 1973 with the determination to produce high performance products that are of the highest quality and as a result they have established themselves as a competitor to be reckoned with in today’s high performance aftermarket industry.

The OS Giken specialty lies in the production and design of engine and drivetrain components and the company has earned the reputation of being among the world’s most accomplished drivetrain manufacturers. This reputation could only be achieved through dedication and forward thinking and to this end OS Giken sees to it that all of their parts are totally and completely manufactured and assembled in house under only the strictest quality control.

Take as an example the OS Giken clutch that is not designed the usual way but is designed with the demands of the different race disciplines in mind; hence, the up to six different twin discs offered for a given application. The OS Giken clutch possibilities are an impressive range from the Super Single clutch kit that can handle the heat capacity of track and aggressive use and is a simple bolt on to the impressive R series found in Formula Drift vehicles due to their ability to handle heat and abuse. And there are lots in between including one if you are not an aggressive driver, the Grand Touring Series, designed to be easier to slip and drive everyday. Lots of choices with the impressive OS Giken clutch.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your BMW

If you own a BMW, the luxury German car, then we know you appreciate the finer things in life and want top quality performance out of your car and we want to help you do that with the prestigious array of performance parts available on our web site. Parts like those from the inimitable SPEC Clutch line with Clutch Kits from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the Mini Twin and in the SPEC Super Twin for the M6, M5 and M3. We know you don’t want a cookie cutter clutch but one that satisfies your driving needs and the stage selection of the SPEC clutch is determined primarily by use, rather it be for street use or more high performance use such as racing or autocross. and by materials used to manufacture the various clutches such as molded carbon KEVLAR, full faced Kevlar with steel backing, carbon semi-metallic on one side, carbon semi-metallic 6 puck sprung or not sprung, carbon semi-metallic with a double sprung hub, solid hub with 8 rivets or full-metallic disc- all decided by you, the driver. The pressure plate in your BMW is the driving force between your engine's power and the drive line and if you are doing intense driving you need a performance pressure plate like the one from SPEC for increased holding power. Another great product from SPEC, the billet flywheel exceeds the industry standard of .010 tolerances by a considerable amount with the .001 tolerance guaranteeing ideal balance and flat bedding and can be rebuilt and have a replaceable steel friction plate and they are a lightweight alternative to your factory flywheel.

Several estimable exhaust kit options are available for your BMW and one such brand is CORSA Performance, a renowned manufacturer of aftermarket performance exhausts. CORSA Performance features straight unrestricted flow mufflers and are available depending on application in 3 different sound levels to suit your taste. For example, CORSA'S BMW M3 exhaust system features a patented non-restrictive straight-through design resulting in the reduction of back pressure and freeing up much needed power all resulting in improved horsepower and torque. Since there is no drone because of CORSA’S own RSC Reflective Sound Cancellation technology, you never need to worry about the that annoyance just expect great sound.

Another very popular choice by BMW enthusiasts are the B&B (Billy Boat) exhausts which are made right here in the U.S. in Arizona. They feature 304 mandrel bent Stainless steel and come in several muffler styles such as the Bullets, PRT, and Fusion. B&B tunes each muffler to match its application for the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. Billy Boat recently started to incorporate the PRT technology into all of their muffler systems. PRT Technology allows true straight through exhaust passage under aggressive driving, though a mellow sound is emitted at cruising speed thanks to the unique Purge Chamber. The use of two distinct packing materials and several S.C.C.’S inside the BILLY BOAT muffler enable them to create a harmonious sound that will have heads turning when you drive by.
