i have a b16 supercharged...will this clutch kit bee able to handle 300 hp and 200 torque...honest opinions as i have been told by some people i will need a paddle clutch..but i dont really fancy the juddery pull of etc etc of a paddle clutch...this is a street driven car...what you guys recomend as i am desperate to get on road...thanks

 

Get an ACT XT-SS clutch they work realy well for under 400whp, and have excellent pedal feel...

The HD-SS would be pushing it...

 

I have an ACT xtss and it works great.

 

so you dont think i should get the paddle clutch..its just have never seen an organic clutch take many beatings,,???

 

its call a puck or race pad

 

The XT-SS will take some serious abuse, has perfect pedal feel and lasts a long time, and you definitly won't have holding problems in the sub 400 range...

Same goes..Loving it!

 

as quoted right on the act page for the hdss:

"Torque Capacity: 243 ft/lbs."

 

XT-SS is mooooore then enuff for you. HD SS is prob more then enuff for you too. and the XT SS doesnt have great pedal feel . its realstiff, but you get used to it

 

clutchmaster stage 3, great feel, the perfect street car clutch!

I fried an HDSS with a stock B16.

If you're not using slicks, XTSS would be fine for you!

 

i've been running a clutchmaster stage 3 for 2 years now

like 50,000 miles on it

you werent doing something right becuase there should be no reason why an upgraded clutch of that caliber would give up on a stock car unless you beat the hellout of it on slicks

You got it. Slicks + organic disc = goodbye disc. It lasted for about a year of drag racing on street tires though. As for not doing something right, if you aren't breaking parts you're being a baby

 

i ran on an organic street disc for over 3 yrs on slicks. never had a prob with mine. And im sure i was making quite a bit more power

 

That's exactly why you didn't cook yours

Car with more power = launches at lower RPM = less hurt on the clutch. I launch at 7500 - 8k rpm.

 

i was launching at like 72-7500 rpms on slicks. . . this was when i was na.

 

Maybe mine was screwy then, or I had it adjusted incorrectly, who knows *shrug*.

 

Another vote for XT-SS
