Ill get to the point, Im looking for a clutch for my h22, currently its stock, but over the next couple months it will be turbo, Im looking at about 350 whp, daily driver , would like something that engages smoothly.
I found an ACT HA3-HDR6 for a good price on ebay, like 330, Any good?, , I dont want to spend much more then that what do u guys recommand?

 

Im looking for a clutch as well with around the same horsepower levels as well. Come on somebody help us out please. My car will be a street / strip sometimes car.

 

look into exedy I've really like mine... it's only an OEM replacement but it's great... i think their state 2 is about right for 350~hp but you'd have to check....

 

clutchmasters makes some very good quality clutches. they are a little expensive.......but they are worth it. centerforce is another good one.

STAY AWAY FROM ACT AND ACTION CLUTCHES!!!!!

If there is any good advice that i can share with you it is that right there^^.

they will eventually destroy your motor. here's my thread on it......

Ok so stay away from action and act ok, then what would be a good clutch to go with for a setup running about 350 hp?

 

Exedy stage 2, it's a 3-puck sprung cerametallic disc. I've had mine for about 10K miles and daily drive it. Very easy going clutch and rated for about 350 hp.

 

I have run ACT clutches for over 5 years and the only thing I can suggest is NOT to get a 6 puck for smooth engagement.
I have also run Clutchmasters, Centerforce and Competition Clutches.

I have an ACT XTSS i my h22 hatch and its stiff as hell, its been in there since 2002 without an issue. Its a little stiff but engages smoothly with the street disc.

I had an ACT HDSS in my accord with an h22 swap and it worked great for nearly 60k miles when it wore out. I later put a lower mialge ACT HDR6 in and HATED it due to clutch chatter and harsh engagement...well let me correct that I hated it from a stand still, once I got moving it rocked.

Currently I am running a Competition Clutches stage 3 in my h22 accord and relaly like it, it grabs but is not harsh at all. Plus pedal feel is very nice for daily driving....and it was cheaper than both the ACT and Clutchmasters Clutches (on a gsr civic) i used in the past.

from experience i can tell you that w/ a boosted h22 you will need a full disk ( not a 3,4, or 6 puck) and a strong pressure plate unless you want to go w/ a twin disk($$$). otherwise you will be buying another clutch when yours starts slipping @ 6k.

 

ya clutchmasters is good.i got a stage 4 4 puck and it engages quickly

 

ACT XTSS in my dailt driver no issues with it, it is lil stiffer than the stock clutch

 

I vote for Competition Clutch Stage 3 or 4. I wanted the Stage 3 but they were out of stock. I have the Stage 4 in my car (just installed yesterday) and it grabs great. Pedal is stock like and smooth engagement is not compromised. I think it's rated to handle a little over 400hp.

 

what about like for basic mods like i/h/e, stage 2 cams, apexi vtec controller, not much of mods but what kind of clutch would u recomend stage 1 or 2 and what brand and a flywheel?

 

i have run clutchmasters stage 3 on all of my motors and never had 1 problem... i have heard bad things about CM but i have nothing but good things to say

 

There is a Competition Clutch group buy starting now in the classifieds forum on PreludeOnline.com.

 

just bought an action 2ks clutch.

Kevlar Sprung Segmented Disk


"All Action Clutch 2KS Clutch Kits feature a dual diaphragm heavy duty pressure plate, 8 puck kevlar sprung segmented disk which is capable of supporting up to 375 horsepower. Clutch engagement is very smooth and linear similar to the O.E.M. unit."

where did you get your clutch from and for how much?? Does the kevlar eat up the flywheel quicker?

picked up a 12lbs flywheel and that clutch from a friend for quite a bargain.

from what i was told, the kevlar pads will outlast the ceramic pads by a long shot. I wouldnt think it would eat up the flywheel anymore than a cermanic disk would.

 

Hey have you found you clutch yet because I have an ACT I'm selling for cheap. Its never been used. PM me
