What clutches you ladies and gents running?

[high c]

Well, as the title implies, i think i am going to be in the market for a new clutch in the near future. I just dont think my stage 3 6 puck has too much life left in her , so i just wanted to know what you peeps are running in your cars. I need something that can hold between 300-400 whp, and i would perfer to buy something that can hold closer to 400 just so i have room to expand (it is a fully built engine). I would perfer to get something that i can use a stock (un-milled) flywheel with (because i have a resurfaced one in my basement) but if i must go either milled or lightened flywheel then so be it. What are the beni's of a lightened flywheel anyway? Work well with boosted?
Also, this car is currently my daily driver, so I'm thinking a sprung PP would be the way to go just to keep some drive-ability...but please gimme your .02...Anyways...back on topic~

So if you guys could post:
what brand?
how much?
stock flywheel?
Drive-ability?
Any slippage problems?
Any installation problems?
Personal rating (out of 10, 10 being the highest)?

thanks guys i really appreciate it!

stock duralast. brand new. i wasted 118 on it and its sitting in my engine thats going nowhere bleh

[MRX]

what brand? ACT HDSS holds 356 tq 6puck unsprung
how much? $285-300 shipped i think it was
stock flywheel? 8.8lb fidanza
Drive-ability? decent takes off easier if i start releasing the clutch above 2500rpms
Any slippage problems? none yet
Any installation problems? none
Personal rating (out of 10, 10 being the highest)? 7-8 i guess. I should have gotten a stronger pressure plate cause this thing feels just a little stronger than stock...either that or i'm Heman now.

hahaha thanks for the write up MRX...so for your 285-300 shipped, was that just the disk and PP or did it include to 8.8lb?

[MRX]

just the disk and PP. The flywheel was purchased a while back. Look forward to a new flywheel or resurface when u take the clutch out cause it's probably gonna need it. Oh and the fidanza friction material is replaceable. No need to ever throw out the flywheel

The flywheel i am currently running with my 6 puck was milled for the disk im running. I have a stock resurfaced flywheel in my basement that i will be running with this clutch if i can...what are the benifits or running a lighter wheel? Im assuming it revs faster, but whats so special about them? Also what are the cons of em?

XTD Stage 3 =you can find on ebay
STock h22 flywheel.
driveability is good as long as you break it in right
No slipping so far
Installation like any other clutch but I recommend an OEM Throwout bearing to go with the clutch.
7 out of 10 since I havent taken it to the track to abuse it yet only on the street lol.

But if you have the money centerforce and ACT are good companies.

ACT Sprung Hub 6 puck
Like 300 or so shipped
Rated at 356 tq just like antiones

Only got like 450 miles on it before I blew up the motor but it held fine and drove well for that time period.

So far I'd say 7 out of 10, I still liked the feel of my Clutchmasters 4 puck better, the ACT has alot less pedal pressure and "feels" weak.

I'm going to be using it for my engine break in period, then keep turning up the boost until it slips and back it down a bit and run it as long as I can, after that I'm not sure, maybe a twin disc or something?

the throttle response is superior. A 4000rpm punch has been described as disneyland in my car lol. The high rev range is light and it seems like the tach flies to redline...to the point i have to pre-emptively shift. The downside is the loss of torque down low of course. Its a little harder to get around cause u have to give it more revs to take off in daily traffic but its nothing unbearable, just harder. Whether a heavy flywheel is better for load on the turbo or not? That could be debated forever.

But i'm personally sticking to my light flywheels.

Exedy OE replacement style about 50k ago, $105 on eBay! Came with the alignment tool and new throwout bearing. Not a single complaint either.....

[lokuputha]

Nothin' but Honda Original Parts....good clutch...relatively forgiving and longlasting if driven normally....not good for drag racing though

[turbomaxx]

is the h22 the same specs as a f22? Any ideas?

Antoine~ when you say you loose torque down low, why is that? The lighter weight = less cyntrifical force at low rpms = less torque? My engine really doesnt make too much torque but after 4k it is a monster. Is a lighter wheel going to further my never ending search for traction?

[NAiL05]

I dont really remember if the flywheels were the same. Size wise yes weight they felt the same I didnt weight them though so not sure.
