anyone have an first hand experiance with a good clutch kit for sohc turbo that are driven daily in traffic good for 300 whp????? I am looking at the spec stage 3 right now. any help would be greatly appreciated.

ACT XTSS. Got mine put on today and it is quite a bit stiffer than stock, but the engagement feels awesome and I would never go back to a stock clutch again.

 

how much power is it rated for????? how many times stiffer is the pedal than stock???

 

XTSS is something like 270 lb/ft torque. 270 on a sohc would be 300+ whp. No need for puck-style clutches, they're overrated for a DD.

 

your going to need a very very good tuning product, any direct bolt on kits that can do 300+ do not have the fuel management to proeprly run 300+ ona STOCK civic, you will need a hondata style ecu. your better off getting the greddy kit (newer one) and then only going to like 250 wheel power (kit can do that safley). you will need a decent fmic and bov for it.

clutch, a clutch master's stage2 will work fine for you. I also recommend repalcing the stock flywheel since your going to be breaking 220 wheel pwoer it's recommended you repalce the stocker when doing so because the stocker is cast and not really suited well for higher hp applications. it's not the revs it's the pwoer and pressures that cause them to crack at times. just a safety measure.

 

Competition cluthc stage 4 sprung.
I drove my car in philadelphia rush hour traffic 5 days a week.

also I hate spec clutch and won't run them again.

if the stage 3 is like the stage 2, it will overheat and slip after an hour driving.

then takes about 4 hours to get back to normal

I dont plant to make 300whp on the stock motor. I will be putting the clutch in now while stock and putting a turbo on to produce approx 220whp. while building another block on the side.
