the second clutch is the cerametalic with a weird looking clutch disc. what ois the advantage to this type of disc?

by the way im runnign b16 turbo so i want a clutch that will last a pretty good length of time. thanx

 

if the ones above are not that good can any one recomend a good clutch kit? i have heard horror stories about clutch masters and ACT, what do u guys use

 

I have allways had good luck with Clutch masters. I had a stage 4 in my daily driver and my track car is sporting a twin disk.

 

Exedy makes a Great clutch for a great price!

The Organic, wil be on the edge for your power, Yet i belive it should be able to hold the power for awhile!

I would go with a Clutch Masters stage 3 or 4.I've had both for daily driving.I'm using the stage 4 now.I've used CM clutches for 3 years now and have never had a problem.

 

I know it's not one of your choices listed above...

but we've had great success with the Centerforce dual friction clutches.

It's gone from a stock motor to a Turbo 18C with 300whp to 2.0L NA with over 210whp....3yrs of continuous abuse and there's still a lot of meat left!

It doesn't have the violent grab of some ACT or CM units when you pop the clutch during shifts.... but it hasn't ever slipped on us.... an added bonus is the clutch pedal feel is very similar to stock..so it won't beat you up during daily grinds!

That one is a bit tough to drive... quite a bit of shudder and you'll have to ride the clutch in 1st and reverse to get it to be smooth...

shifts great though cuz the disc is so light... !

 

I just bought the Clutchmasters Stage 4. It is amazing. The jump from stage 1 street application to Stage 4 is dynamic. I just finished break in on the Stage 4 and it is the way to go. My setup is a B20 w/ JDM GSR tranny. That clutch and the LSD work wonders.

GO STAGE 4 CLUTCHMASTERS.

 

I know of some local guys that run the Centerforce Dual Friction clutches and have had nothing but problems.

 

the stage 4 clutchmasters disc is a spung hub right? im currently running a stage 3

 

i have another question what exactly is CLUTCH CHATTER? i hear guys talking about this all teh time. what is it though. is it bad ?

 

Yes the stage 4 has a sprung hub.

 

I'm running a Stage 4 clutch also for almost 2 years now. Hard driving. No problems at all. I had a bad throw out bearing before the clutch install, and afterwards the clutch pedal was 1000% lighter. My stage 4 clutch on my honda is lighter than my stock clutch on my 2003 S10.

 

im runnin an act stage 3 and its incredible. it grabs so hard.

 

Clutch Chatter is normally a bad throwout bearing and when the clutch isn't depressed it makes a clattering sound. When you press the clutch down the clatter goes away. The weak part of every clutch assembly is the throwout bearing. From what I hear most clutch manufacturers run the OE throwout bearing. Probably the best but not good enough.

I know we are not perfect but I have been listening to HT clatter for a while and it seems like we are doing pretty good. The Exedy parts are good stuff. Usually the organic is not a big improvement and the three puck is pretty harsh engaging. The center of the three puck is very strong though. Not enough friction material to handle the abuse (heat) IMHO but it should hold good power.

It kind of feels like wheel hop except the tires are not breaking loose. As the clutch engages the rubber engine motor mounts compress (wind up) and instead of the it staying that way, the clutch will disengage slightly as the motor bounces back (unwinds) from the mount. Then the clutch engages again and it happens all over again. It can be caused by several things like broken or worn mounts, screwed up pressure plate or disc, or most commonly a racing clutch friction material with high coefficient of friction. It is more comon when driving easy. If you drive hard the clutch typically engages so fast it doesn't have a chance to chatter. Interesting to note that a solid mounts usually eliminate chatter because it eliminates mount wind up. Also interesting is that spring center race discs will typically increase chatter rather than reduce it because of the increase in the windup effect. Dicsc with lower friction don't tend to chatter.

 

alot of people have there own opinion about there clutch that they like i have an act street disc with a heavy duty pressure plate and i love it. not bad price either.
