hi guys i cant afford Toda or anything in that range but let me know what you think is the best quality for the price. right now i'm thinking either the ACT or the Exedy organic, as far as the fly wheel i dont know but i want something around 10-11 lb thanks

 

 

thanks, i wish i could though

 

guys one question (especially for the pot smokers) i hear good things about the exedy clutch but no feedback on the exedy flywheel, anyone know it its good?

 

This is my first post here, but i figure might as well be helpful. DO NOT GET ACT! My friend had one in his B20 VTEC, and the pressure plate decided to gernade it self for no apparent reason. Up until this point, it wasn't even slipping, it just gave out. Shards of metal destroyed the radiator, the tranny, took off part of the block skeleton, and dented the hood. Here's some pics........

Damn! thats crazy, maybe it was defective? i'm leaning torwards the excedy, due to price and good word. i think the ACT would be overkill. thanks for the warning

 

haha, damn, blown tranny and a big *** ACT sticker, kinda ironic?

 

Wow that sucks...

and when i was looking at clutches, everybody sweared the ACT was safe for over 8,000 rpm

Craig - Who is glad he got excdy, but wishes he got toda

 

same here

I believe the ACT clutches that had the 8000+ problems were the ones manufactured YEARS ago.

Thats the first time Ive ever seen anything like that happen...not to get on your ***, but looks like either a fluke, or faulty installation.

 

We had our pit set up right by the car show, so we just popped open the hood, threw on an ACT sticker and let the people come by and take a look for themselves on what an ACT clutch and pressure plate could do for them. The teg had a JDM front end so people thought it was in the show, then they got there and looked at the engine and were like dayum..........

 

that is a strange looking block ID and #

 

hands down tilton clutches... best in the world

 

Well, just give me a call Craig...I have 15 incoming....LOL...temptation....I know...I am an evil person!

 

The best clutch I have had is a type R stock.
The Toda started chattering real bad after 2000 miles
The Centerforce started slipping after 5000 miles
The ClutchMasters Sucked from the get go, never worked right at all.
The Act disc fell apart after 300 miles.
These have been on several different cars, My set up is now at 270Hp on my S/C car and the R clutch works great. My B20VTec has the same and is at 155TQ and is great too. It might not last as long but it sure works the best. Got it right!

 

ouch
any feed back on ACT heavy duty clutch ?

I have the heavy duty clutch, been going strong for 16k miles now, ACT HD and SS disc stock flywheel (soon to be upgraded)

 

i have the act heavy duty right now and it runs fine, no problems yet (knock on wood). i broke it in for 400 miles and ragged it for about 1000 miles just to test it out.

 

ACT doesn't need broken in but it does need aligned just right. act is the best for the money I have had my extreme for over 30,000 miles with a CM flywheel. it chatters a bit cause the alum. flywheel just does that with act's clutch. that looks like a burnout taken too far honestly...my friends stock si clutch did that last year at carlisle after a 5 minute burnout session. accually the whole looked exactly the same

 

true, thanks guys for all the feedback. i bought the exedy organic race clutch and the 9lb chromoly FW. it was a good price, obviously Toda is the way to go but i cant afford it. i'll give a review when i install it this weekend!

 

i'm sorta teasing....but you installing clutches properly? thats a big list of they don't work

 

No doubt, and that's the first time I've heard anything negative about the toda.....

 

Where's the report? Do you like the Toda Clutch

 

I havent broken it all in yet so i havent been able to really notice the full difference, Clutch feels pretty much same as stock and i definatedly feel more pull in the lower gears (but i havent taken it past 5K) the revs dont jump as quick as i expected but gear matching is definatedly better. by the end of the week it will be broken in and i'll let you guys know how it grabs!

 

as far as flywheel goes IMO type R is the best !
