Default Turbo H22A - ACT Clutch suggestions ??

I would like to know which Act clutch setup I should get for my turbo H22A? Car is currently putting out around 300Whp but I want something that will still be able to handle more power (up to like 500Whp) should I decided to shoot for more Whp.

I like ACT so I was wondering which ACT setup you turbo H22 guys would recommend...

Clutches are rated by torque... not hp. The 6 puck sprung will work just fine.

i'd recommend you go with a six puck sprung for drivability ..unsprung grabs a lil bit hard when daily driving....if u dont go ACT i'd recommend the Competition Clutch Stage 4 Six puck sprung ..i got it... grabs hard held 333whp but able to daily drive it ..GL

I have the act six puck unsprung. I heard a lot about drivablity, harsh engagement, and chatter but I've never had an issue. Also peddle pressure is not noticalbly harder. Just a matter of opinion.

Well I have been still looking at clutch kits, now I am kinda debating between ACT 6 Puck Sprung with extreme pressure plate OR Competition Clutches Stage 5 Sprung - Which do you guys think will be better / more reliable / hold up 350 Tq?

Well I just might have a change of heart and go with the Comp Clutch stage 5 - not sure yet but seems like I have read more good things about this than ACT Clutches...

That's not why I suggest it...

I drive a lot of different cars when tuning them on the dyno, by far my favorite for feel, sound, engagement, grip and life expectancy is the CC. I can get a lot of other brands of clutches, but I wont sell those to my customers.

I have a slightly used ACT 4 puck, xtreem pressure plate and prolite flywheel for sale if you are interested in a package deal.

I have NO complains about ACT. Problems that I thought were clutch related always turned out to be master/slave cylinder or clutch cable related. I've used them on D and H series with good results.

I've had both sprung and unsprung and settled with unsprung. It's not much of a sacrifice IMO.

Pedal pressure has to do with the pressure plate, nothing to do with sprung or un-sprung clutch disks.

If you do competition stage 5 4 puck make sure u see if u can get it with the optional heavy duty pressure plate for a little bit more money....
