I recently bought a ACT heavy duty pressure plate, ACT 6 puck disk, and Fidanza 8lb Flywheel for my 5th gen. I was wondering how streetable this combo was since its my daily driver. I noticed the disc didn't have the vibration dampers, should I expect chatter? Also, does anyone know the weight of the stock flywheel? I heard somewhere that 1 pound of rotational weight taken off equals 2.5 horse, any truth? Thanks for info in advance!

 

daily driving shouldnt be too bad. What are your mods for needing that clutch?

 

intake, header, exhaust, next month or two zex wet kit (75 shot?) since I cant afford JRSC and I'm bored w/ the performance.

 

I got a act heavy duty pressure plate, organic clutch, 9.68lb flywheel and it feels 100% stock to me, however things may change when I get a downpipe again. Its hard to tell the throttle response right now because my head hurts too much from the noise

I've driven on 6 puck and 4 puck before. It all just takes getting used to. However, if you going to do a lot of street driing, I would stick w/ the 6 puck.

 

Should you not have asked for info BEFORE you bought the stuff??
Not an exact answer, but I believe the stock flywheel is somewhere between 18 and 21lbs.

why do you say that!?! a 4 puck is wayyyy more streetable than the unsprung 6 puck he has.

 

6 puck engagement is very harsh, and the chatter is never ending. Also make sure you grease and install that throwout bearing correctly or your car will sound like a horse. ( no joke )

I personally would have gone for something else. something like a 6 puck isnt really necessary for a75 shot. i wish i didnt have a 6 puck everytime i drive my car.

4 Puck is harsher than a 6 Puck. Is you are running a Heavy Duty Pressure Plate w/ an Organic Disc and want more clamping, the next step is to either switch to a 6 Puck, or change the pressure plate to the Extreme one.

I drive just fine w/ my 6 Puck. I love it more than when I had the 4 Puck. 4 Puck was overkill for me.

 

I knew the 6 puck would be more grabby than the organic, but when I got the disc in the mail i read the "Not recommended for street use due to harsh engagment" and wondered if anyone running a simular setup regreted the disc. I didn't know that it didn't have the damper springs till after also. I do minimal city driving, so I not worried about traffic driving, but I heard today that you really can't feather a 6 puck, it's either engaged or not, but that doesn't make sense to me. Is the chatter really that noticable? If so I might just swap for act organic. Thanks for all the info guys!

anyone know if that math for rotational weight is right?
1 lb=2.5 hp?

I had that exact same clutch on my thrid gen. I loved it. It gets some getting used to as someone already stated. The chatter is there, but not off the wall. I would have gotten another one except the stupid shop I got my current clutch ordered a street/strip clutch instead.

 

I'm running a compition six puck, six sprung and have no complaits nice engagement grabs hard when i need it, a little chatter a low RPM's but nothing too bad.

I only get chatter at low rpms, but most of the time, I engage my setup around 2400rpm because of my lighter flywheel and to prevent chatter and to prevent having to ride the clutch. I'm not sure if it's 2400rpm, but it don't matter because I got used to it, and every setup is different.
