its the ACT Max Xtreme AI4-XXG6

Im new to the whole car thing and i really need help with this. Im not sure if this clutch is to extreme with my setup. I was planning a NA build. If you need anymore information about my setup just ask and ill be glad to say.

Thanks in advanced for your quick replys. Any input would be great.

 

That clutch is over kill for your setup. You should be fine with a stage 2, possibly even a stage 3 if you want to go over board. As for the brand its going to be personal preference.

I recommend a Competition Clutch from boostfed.com. He is a honda-tech sponsors and his prices are awesome. Here is a link to his thread:

Stage 2 - Street Series 2100 Clutch Kit
This assembly provides approximately 80% increase in torque capacity and is properly suited for aggressive street use and moderate track use. The Carbon Kevlar material with its alloy backing matched to a performance pressure plate will provide smooth engagement and extended life.
The 2100 Series kit includes a performance pressure plate, a high torque sprung disc with antiburst steel backed Carbon Kevlar facings, all applicable bearings, and the appropriate alignment tool



Stage 3 - Street/Strip Series 2300 Clutch Kit
This segmented Carbon Kevlar material with a performance pressure plate will provide the ultimate in street and strip combinations. This assembly is suited for 150% increase in torque capacity. Provides quick but smooth engagement and extended life. 500 mile break-in REQUIRED with this set-up.
The 2300 Series kit includes a performance pressure plate, a high torque sprung disc with segmented Carbon Kevlar facings, all applicable bearings, and the appropriate alignment tool.

 

 

haha that clutch you posted will make your left leg twice the size of your right leg lol. its rated for almost 500ft/lbs of torque. WAY OVERKILL. I was actually looking at getting that clutch instead of a twin disk for my turbo setup, but decided against it.

keep it simple. on my NA build, making around 210whp, I used the ACT Heavy Duty clutch with street disk. it worked perfectly fine and wasnt a leg workout. it also doesnt abuse your trans as much as an extreme or maxx extreme plate with 4 or 6 puck disk.

 

ive always stuck with my stock clutch and im happy......long island/nyc traffic sucks

 

i cant find the thread, but i read a while back about OEM ITR clutches, and you would be surprised at how much hp they can handle. people have run boosted setups with a stock ITR clutch just fine. the stock clutch handled up to something like 300ish or 400ish.

i just went looking through my notepad and list of bookmarks; wish i could find it

 

any info on the b16 clutch??? i believe all bseries clutches are the same? correct me if im wrong

have you ever used a competition clutch? i have a stage one and its softer than an oem d16. my friend has a stage 5, 4 puck. it takes about 20% more pressure to push in than stock.

act clutches take a bit more pressure to push in than either of those comps doostur suggested

 

- Exedy stage 1
- ACT Heavy Duty with 6 puck disk (sprung)
