Default ACT solid 6 in obd0 b16???

Is this a good idea for a car that I will be driving a few times a week. I'll be turbo in about 2 more months. IM looking to acheive around 270-300whp and 200lbs of torque. I plan on making this a sometime track car as well. Some one told me that this clucth will always chirp a tire leaving the light.

what does everyone think

i think a sloid 6 puck is overkill for your power goal. a ss/xt duty should be fine with your setup.

yeah but they are still streetable. break it in right and it will engage pretty smooth. and make sure u have good motor mounts in the car, if not, the clutch chatter will rattle your bones!

but really they are only a pain in the *** when ur coming away from a stop, other than that (as long as you can drive) u should have no problem.

i just put a sintered iron faced 6 puck clutch specialties clutch in my buddies 00 si. i can drive it like a stock clutch.

i just came from a sprung 4 puck cm stage 4 to a solid exedy twin. i hate the drivability, but it is a bad *** clutch. i am getting farther and farther away from a street car with my eg.

I had absolutely no problems with the solid 6 puck in my B16. Daily driven through very heavy traffic during rush hour too. Just don't pop the clutch and don't be afraid to slip it a bit.

Yeah I plan on getting a lighten flywheel also so I do plan on slipping it if I do keep it. How many horses are you pushing on your daily driven b16??

Oh, sorry, missed this post. About 220ish on the street, about 300 on the track.

Well I would keep the stock flywheel if i where you seeing how a b16 makes low trouqe any way , and the 6 puck unsprung with a heavy duty pressure plate will be fine , that combo is in my friends car , but then in my buddies hatch we just finished he has the extreme pressure plate with the 6 puck unsprung and that thing is a total bitch on the street ,
