ok so my set-up will be around 230whp 190 trq for now and staying SOHC
what do you think is the best option?
if you want something to be added to the list just let me know and i will add it
i have ran the competition clutch for some time (the stg-2 carbon kevlar) and i do like the feel of there product
however I'm now purchasing a clutch for the third time in the last 2 years due to problems.
the current problem is that the most recent one has a faulty pressure plate
so I'm thing about getting away from there product lineup...
i here nothing but good things about Exedy but are unsure about going with a "pucked" disc...
what are some thing to expect if i do go with the 3 puck Exedy stage 2?
this is going to be my daily driver for the next year or so...
turbo will be installed as soon as i get all the other little problems worked out.

 

im not voting on anything, but i will offer this, if you plan on preloading, stay away from an organic.

 

anyone ever try the clutches on http://www.xenocron.com?
I ordered my injectors and map from them and seen their clutch line, wondering if anyone's given em a shot. I've never even heard of them still I stumbled across them. Or even the ones on http://www.rcautoworks.com/ind...d5260.
Just curious. Sorry to thread jack. I'm gonna give a XTD (not exedy) stage 4 unsprung a shot in a hopefully 400 whp-ish sohc zc. Not done with it all yet. Heard mixed opinions about the XTD so since I already have it balanced with my rotating assembly I'm attempt to give it a whirl. I'm sure I'll be swapping within a year though lol.

 

We have just started working w/ Competition Clutch and they have some kick *** pricing on their setups.

I've never had any luck w/ a full face disck so i'd recomend 6 puck.

 

Act is way good to just like the competition clutch
act is really a good long lasting clutch and cheap to.

 

you just have shitty luck.. competition FTW

 

Comp clutch is great! I've ran an assortment of there setups in all my cars.

But i also really like the exedy stage 2, it is very very streetable, almost like an organic, most of my friend didint even realize it was pucked

I also think my comp twin is very streetable :-P

 

ok well I'm looking at the ACT product lineup as well

ACT Clutch Kit - Sport Pressure Plate with 6 Pad Solid Centered Race Disc

ACT Clutch Kit – Heavy Duty Pressure Plate with Performance Street Disc

http://www.importrp.com/search.php?mode=search

this is were i have been looking
probably won't order from them but just using them for info
so what do you guys think?
i have the stainless line kit, 10 lb fly wheel, and a z6 transmission
will be going with the obx LSD asap... might just go ahead and do it now
that would be the smart thing to do

 

My set up is a fidanza flywheel which only weighs like 6-7 pounds and the act stage3 act 4pad unsprung. I like it it nice.

 

Have you looked at the Spec Stage 3+ (www.specclutch.com ). It is what I am currently using. You can contact Danny @ SpecClutch (turbotyper@spec)here on HT

 

I had a clutcmaster stage 3 on my car (same thing as CC stage 3), it is easier to driver then an oem clutch. The pedal is the same if not lighter then stock and it proven to hold a good amount of tq, some people have made like 300 tq on it.

 

I have an Exedy Stage 2 in my GSR and i love it...it isnt too stiff and doesnt chatter. Its also rated to handle enough power so you have room to upgrade. Its holding well at my power level...numbers in sig

 

ACT xtreme pressure plate with street disc here. Hold my 281whp/237tq d16z6 without any slipping at all.

mines holding 23psi on a t3/t4 50trim. works great!

 

ok so i think that this http://www.importrp.com/produc...age=1 is the one that I'm going to go with... we will see how it works out...

 

i have the ACT xtreme pressure plate w/ 6puck. its heavy as hell, whcih i like makes it feel like its defiantely going to grab (which is does) and At first it chattered a crap load but now that its worn in its not bad at all! i give it a

I also have the ACT prolite flywheel (9lbs)

 

:-/ I've blown 7 act clutches out. 4 pressure plates and 3, Pucked clutches that the material just "fell" off.

 

Competition Clutch Stage 4: 6 puck sprung definitely FTW!



Don't do the Stage 2 Comp Clutch - you'll burn through it if you plan to beat the hell out of your car.

Thats what was always happening to me w/ the street discs in the past just blowing the friction pad right off the disc, never ran one since.

wow well that sucks i placed my order last night
i will only be around the 200 trq mark at MOST
so i should be ok... I hope
this is the first time that i have heard about this happening
is this "common knowledge"?
what exact product was it and at what power levels were yall at?
I'm the type of person that i beat the hell out of my car
and then act stupid when my wife ask why my car is all ways broken
it's true i do abuse my car... I'm looking for product that can keep up

 

ok well after seeing the review on the ACT product i decided to cancel my order
I'm now leaning toward the Action 2MD. SovXietday and rota92 recommend them so i know they are great product for them to do that. so I'm now going to take my time and slow down to get this done correctly. but i only have a month till i move and well the car is coming with me

ya my ACT XTSS (xtreme prssure plate with street disc) the disc that came with it was an exedy and pad just came off as well. Do they usually use exedy discs?

 

any more input on the action 2MD?
I'm hopping to place my order on Monday

 

Hey, did you make your decision yet? I've got some insider knowledge on the eBay brands such as Action and Grip Force/F1 Racing that might make you change your mind.

If you're serious about the clutch you want to get (and haven't gotten it yet), send me a PM and I'll fill you in on some interesting details....

 

why do people recommend the thin Exedy stage 2 instead of the thick?
