Going to turbo my car soon and since my stock clutch has about 90k miles I think its time for a new one. I need a clutch that will be able to handle about 300whp and be streetable. I am also going to get a new flywheel while im at it. What do you guys recommend for a good clutch and flywheel for my application? I already searched but didnt find any real good info. Please try to keep it as cheap as possible. Thanks

 

ACT XTSS.. its the extreme pressure plate with the organic street and strip disc.. and the streetlite flywheel, its 12 lbs so its not too light..

 

i plan on hittin the same amount of whp u want out of my gsr. i have a ACT 6 puck on the stock motor... plan on swappin out to a 4 puck when i get the turbo in. dont bother wit street clutches... its a waste of money

 

First off the clutches are rated to torque not hp,

I would go with either an Act Hd/ss or Xt/ss, action also makes some nice stuff in the same price range, but I have no personal experience with those, but they seem to have alot of happy customers.

Heady Duty is rated to I believe 240 ft lbs, if you plan on making more than that go with the Xt/ss.

 

The ACT streetlite is 11lbs and is a great product. I'm currently using that flywheel with an Action 2ks kevlar clutch with about the same power as you, on a GSR motor. I love both the clutch and the flywheel, kevlar clutches engage as smooth as stock, but they hold like crazy!

I thought that the lighter your flywheel the better you'll accelarate when

you have a turbo.

It will accelerate better but the rpms will also drop faster and it will be more of a pain in the *** to drive in traffic and normal driving since this is my daily driver.

this is a huge huge huge bandwagon myth. Talk to people with lightweight flywheels and take only their opinions. I have a 11lb I daily drive, and I have never had a problem, I never stalled, and it took about 1 day to get used to it. I love it, and will probably buy a 8lb for my next flywheel.

Well i was just going on what I have heard. I was going to get a lighter flywheel either way. Im just not sure if I should get say a prolite or street lite. im still skeptical that a 8lb flywheel will be too much for a daily driver

 

I love my OEM type R flywheel. 12 lbs is perfect...thats why they put it in a type R!

 

AASCO I think its like 9 or 10 lbs
