Hey all, I know this topic has probably been covered like a million times but I haven't really found exactly wat I need to know, so here it goes. I have a 97 civic hatch with a B18C1 in it and a Drag turbo kit putting down 262WHP and 190lbs torque 7lbs of boost. What I'm trying to do is take the car to the track but I'll be putting down about 300WHP at the track so I need something that will hold! It needs a new clutch now and I want to know what you all think would be the best set-up for my application. I daily drive the car so I don't want a puck clutch.
I was thinking about going with a Fidanza flywheel part number: 191681- 7lbs flewheel, ACT street and strip full face disc and a ACT Xtreme pressure plate.
Now, does the Xtreme pressure plate have enough clamping force or should I go for the XXTREME pressure plate?
About the Flywheel, should I go with a heavier unit (ex: ACT's Streetlite flewheel) so it doesn't slow down to quickly between shifting or is it really that big of a deal?

Thanks for your help

 

bump #1

 

7lbs flywheel is cool but remember that the pressure plate rotates together with the flywheel so you don't want a heavy pressure plate either which will minimize the advantage of a lightweight flywheel

 

Well, it minimizes the advantage but it's still an advantage never the less.

 

yeah... wonder if anyone has compared pressure plate weights and has some stats for the more popular ones out there including stock?

 

I don't know, it would be interesting to see the weights, but I mean, you need a pressure plate to hold the torque, so if you need a heavy duty one, then, you need a heavy duty one. That's it. As my car sits now it doesn't have all that much power but I expect this clutch to last a lil while so I can increase power shortly and not have to buy a new clutch set-up in a month or two, ya know!! he

 

up up up!! hehe

bump!

 

for drag racing.. street light flywheel i would recomand.. w. Xtrem pressure plate.. u need some weight on the flywheel...
i just ordered act XTss w. prolite flywheel.. for street race ..
When a flywheel is too light (6-10 lbs) it will lose momentum, bog off the line, and cost serious acceleration. as i said pro lights are good for things like road racing where you stay at high RPM's.

 

im running just a stage 6 clutchnet (6 puck) clutch in my b16 tranny with stock flywheel. it catches really hard at the track and on the street. i put down 260hp and 191 tq.

 

how is the 6 puck for daily driving?

 

Ok, I think i'm gonna change my set-up a lil, Still use the Fidanza flywheel, but run 6 puck sprung clutch and heavy duty pressure plate!!

 

just remember that the 6 puck is going to be harder on your tranny,,,i'm gunnin' for 300WHP in my d16z6 before X-mas and I got the XTSS. if it was a track car i'd say get a 4-puck personally, but since it's your daily driver and your goals are at what i'm at, i recommend the ACT XTSS

 

yeah I hear what your sayin bro!

 

i liked the 6 puck alot for daily driving, it was good, just takes a lil getting used to, but its actually really helps on hills

 

Ok cool thanks

 

i just installed the settup.. the ACT prolite w. the XTSS clutch kit... the car if feelings like i have e differente engine.. the clutch grab so hard and smoth.. i can feel the grip on 5th gear..

 

Yeah I think that's what's in my car now and it DID grab really hard but I think i just want to try the puck clutch for the hell of it !!!! HAHAHHA Thanks for the feedback and info!! Much appreciated
