my car will soon be put together, and i want to put in a stronger clutch why it is out. I have searched and read good things about ACT XTSS, what do you guys think? I need it to be vary streetable because i am always in traffic. Also i want something strong enough to hold 300ish hp. does anyone know how much the XTSS will hold? Thanks guys.

For 300whp, both the ACT XTSS or ClutchMasters Stage 3 will be perfect for you.

How's the Pedal feel for the ACT XTSS?

The XT pedal feel is heavier than stock.

The only thing I would say is don't go to heavy on the pedal you'll hate it. I had the ACT heavy duty and my buddy had the extreme we were both around that 275whp mark and my car was so much easier to drive an the clutch held no problem.

i like the pedal feel on the CM better then the Act. the CM feels more like stock. those are the clutch upgrades i try to sell. i have had a stage 4 in my car for the last 3 years and no issues with it.

so the xtss is a little harsh, and the heavy duty will do?

boostedcivicsir

i think the hd ss is a little much too, but it is ok and will do.

Benjithx

It sounds like the HDSS is the clutch for me. Is anybody running high hp on one? I am shooting for 300hp but we all know how those things go. It would be nice if the HDSS had a little room for growth(maybe350hp). Let me know what you guys think.. Thanks

I currently have a HDSS setup in my D16Y8. I'm hoping to make more power with it now, probably around 300-350whp. I hope the HDSS will hold up for awhile on my setup. I may end up upgrading to the 4 or 6 puck with XTSS eventually.

Clutches are rated based on tq...a 300whp b16 makes about 200ft lb's....i ran a cm stage 3 on my ~315whp stock b16 and it was great...like stock alittle stiffer...felt like the OEM clutch in my m3

Yea anything in the 300-400hp range would be the ClutchMasters Stage 3's sweet spot. The drivabilty is top notch for a clutch that handles that much power.

Maveric

well from what ive seen the hd/ss is more of a street only clutch....my friend burnt his out within a year and that was w/only 250-275whp.....try a cm stage 3 might work better

exedy 08950B NICE clutch stage II

Action 2ks or 2md just incase you feel like making more power later.

R-Lug

I had d16z6 GReddy Turbo. EXedy rocks!! Soft yet grabs good. Easy on the left leg as well. Highly recommend it to anyone.

eMpAtHy

if it gets too stiff, your leg will get tired in the begining, but then after a while, you start building your calves..i wish my pedal was stiffer..

R-Lug

haha, well guess you better get your right leg workout somehwere else.

That's what I got (2MS) 6 puck sprung

Chrome Pipes

I have a ClutchNet 6 puck & pressure plate. 356 whp and a season and a half on slicks and on the street with no problems. Has a nice feel to it not stiff at all but heavier than stock. Nice clutch for the money.

I have about 250-260whp and I am running a stock ITR clutch. Still grabbing like a champ after 50 000km and many launches on slicks.
