Hi guys.

I´m in the quest to get a clutch and flywheel for my Civic SiR ´00 B16A2. I got all my turbo pieces ready to be on it. Aiming to 300-350 Whp and 280 tq. and its my daily drive. so i want some input from youy guys on what Clutch would it be daily frindly and not hursh. peak hours lot of stop and go on heavy traffic.

Thanks.

 

All depends on what you can put up with.

I've had several tuners tell me they run stage one exedy's on their 250-300whp setups.

it's got a stock'esque feel to it.

All depends on your budget and left leg.

 

I have a ACT hdss have had it for 3yrs now and I have been very happy.
I only have your average bolt ons though IM, header exhaust, itr cams
I am also running a clutch master 8 lb flywheel

 

i´m not really into a budget since i have piece my turbo with good parts so i´m not going cheap with a clutch and flywheel. and i dont want a really heavy clutch feeling. maybe cause i have never drive a hard C. pedal before. any way keep posting. thanks.

 

ACT makes a good solid hub clutch !

 

I have daily driven everything from stock up to a 6 puck unsprung. Unsprung gets chattery in stop and go traffic. Sprung 6 puck is MUCH better for that. Honestly, get a sprung disc and get whatever else you need to hold the power. My friend's 6 puck sprung is a much smoother engagement than my old ACT HD/street strip setup.

 

i roll an exedy stage 1 dd. its a little stiffer than stock but not much. i also have a 9lb fly wheel. its good for dd, i sure dont mind it

 

exedy stage 2 here

 

ACT xtreme pp with street disc on sohc vtec turbo.

Soon ACT max xtreme pp with unsprung 6 puck for b20 vtec turbo.

 

Really can't go wrong with ACT. I guess I'm part of the bandwagon, but my ACT hasn't failed me yet. Remember you did say daily driver, so hopefully you won't beat on it everyday.

 

Centerforce Dual Friction, pedal feels stock, engages nice and smooth, and clamps solid when you need it to... I have been running mine for 2 years, I abuse my car like no other, and this thing feels just as nice as the day I put it in.

 

My experience with the Exedy Stage 1 is great! Best bang of the buck clutch for around anything under 300whp. Clutch engagement is smooth and stock like. Its only slightly stiffer than stock and feels good. But the only problem is if you are push close ot 300whp or over whp it won't hold the power and it would slip like a ****. I had a Gsr motor turbo'ed with a a Gsr tranny running at 275whp and it held great. Redid the setup and now pushing somewhere in the low 300s and it doesn't hold during hard shifts. It handled a little over 3 years of brutal abuse before it went out.

In my stock gsr civic im running the Action 2ms. Its a sprung 6puck with a pretty heavy pressure plate. I'm sure this clutch could hold the power no problem, but the pedal feel is considerablely stiff. Stop and go traffic sucks.

 

Any input on the Exedy stage 2 and the 3 puck disk it has??

duralast on my accord

 

ACT solid hub 4 puck failed me back in the early 90s (when ACT was just a baby.) When I went to warranty it they said it said it was race only-I was street driving it.

Odds are ACT quality has gotten better, but there are so many choices out there.

So now Exedy FTW-especially if you're not concerned w/ cost.
