i basically pieced a turbo kit together similar to a drag it for my 94 gsr and now im looking into a clutch. would an act heavy duty press. plate and stock street disk handle be good enough to handle 10lbs of boost? im getting this kit new from a friend that hooked it up for really good price. any suggestions would help

 

from what i researched, thats not that good of an idea. i'll have my fmax kit in my gsr soon, and only running at 7psi, and everyone ive talked to said to get the xtreme pp and the stock organic disc, which is what i ordered and should be here soon. its just the HD and stock plate is only 30% more holding power than stock. thats not a lot. clutchnet stage 2 is also recommded highly by the users here.

 

Do not get ACT, the pressure plates used are made poorly. Meaning it grabes all at once, which is not good on axles, mounts, etc... It is best to find something that slips, for lack of a better word when it starts to engage. If you are looking for a good clutch look into the Clutch Specialties or Clutchnet Stage III. I am sure the Clutchnet Stage II could even handle the power, but you might as well go with the racing disk set-up in the Stage III.

 

the xtreme press. plate is overkill.
all you need is a heavy duty pressure plate up to 350hp.
get a sprung 4 puck with the HD plate and it will work fine.

where did you hear that, about the press plates from? i havnt really heard anything bad about act. i have friends using them and they have nothing to complain about. i was looking into a clutchnet but i have a friend that has a wholesale license and is getting me a great deal on the act. she cant get clutchnet. waht about excedy are they any good?

 

what about the hd press plate and the street organic disc? will that hold up?

 

what do you guys think about excedy clutches? i dont know much about them.

 

do you have any pics of your fmax manifold? cuz i have one on my car and i with the turbo that i have i had to shave a lot off my block to fit. i cant even fit a filter on my turbo.
