I have been doing some research but want so real first hand comments on some clutches that they have used, I have true Daily Driver 97 Ek hatch with a B16 swap with A/C the works, that will be boosted sometime this summer only thing that i am missing is a good clutch that will hold up. I was looking at the competition clutches stage 4, ACT, and a buddy suggested looking into Action clutches, but like i said i was wonder what some first hand experiance with some clutches that you had and how you liked it and how it held up and how it felt. My car get track in the summer and is my daily driver. planning on tuning for 300whp at the track and lower for DD use. i am currently building a B18C and planning about 500whp with a little different setup, but thats later down the road.

My setup
B16A motor and trans
Skunk2 tuner series 1 cams
Spoolin performance quick 4A/C turbo setup
Turbonetics t3/T04E turbo
2.5 in exhaust
750cc injectors

 

I would use a Spec stage 3 or 3+. I have installed several of each in simular applications with much success

 

Spec clutch is the way to go!!! I got there Stage 4 in my daily Crx with a Gsr, feels good. It's been in there for almost 2 years, no signs of wear, and driving it hard.

 

Cool i will look into those and do some research on those. Anyone else have anything good or bad about any of the clutches mention above beening used as a daily driver?

 

action makes a really good street clutch a 1 md or even a 2md.. i use the 2md on the street stiff but it grabs really good..

 

If I had it to do all over again.. I woulda just went straight for the CC stg 5 w/XD plate. Ur gonna upgrade in the future and that same clutch is holding 450+ right now, and is not much harder than the stock CC pressure plate.

 

act xtrm PP/street disk

never been happier

 

I have a comp clutch stage 4 in my 97 jrsc gsr hatch and really like it !

 

Howard over at RLZ recommended that I go with the Comp Stage 4 w/ upgraded pressure plate for my DD DB8 with a power goal of 400 if that helps

 

For 2 years, i ran an Exedy Stage 2 cerametallic. It saw several dyno passes at 315whp/216wtq and even more abuse on the street. It held up well and showed little wear when i upgraded. It has nice pedal feel without being overbearing. Its worth a look

 

Does spec make a twin disc?

 

i'm interested in this myself planning a 250-300 hp build in my DA

 

I like the act HDSS clutch for DD. Its only a little stiffer than stock but holds good. Im making 305hp/207tq at the moment

 

I have been leaning towards that comp clutch stage 4 for a while now, how do they feel?
