Clutches

[92ex]

I am looking to upgrade my clutch soon. I have an exedy organic right now, but I am going to need a bigger torque capacity soon. I am looking at these kevlar and carbon clutches. What do you guys think? I need it to hold at least 250wtq

well since i havent driven mine yet, i could only go with what i was told so with that...im doing the 5-speed swap so i needed a new clutch. i read a post on AD.com (clutch101) that mentioned action clutch as one of the best clutch manufacturers out there and luckily theyre located pretty close to me so i gave them a call and talked to alex, owner of action clutch. just the customer service and his patience with my questions would bring me back to him to buy another car and recomend my friends to go to him. anyway, we talked about what setup i was going to go with (turbo to get 250 whp) and how i was going to use the car (daily driven with some track time) and came to the conclusion that i should go with a sprung (so the tranny will last longer) full face (easier for the daily driving and will alst longer than puck clutches) kevlar (strong material with excellant grip) clutch disk and i paired that with a lightened chro-moly flywheel (10lb). your best bet is to call him or someone in teh same business as him and talk about how yore going to use the clutch and what not. again, i highly reomend him since he was very helpful and very informative about the accord (knew about the h22 going into our cars...not many shops know about that) and performance aspect of the import. if you want to talk to him, his name is Alex of action clutch...323-269-6051

just a quick note,, factory cluthes, flywheel, etc, are capable of 250hp to the flywheel. but you need 250 to the wheels..?? damn! thats alot of power. good luck with your axles..

those could be upgraded to stronger axles...the driveshaft shop has them i think...or you could always do the cryogenic thing to make them stronger...getting stronger axles isnt too hard to do

those who run turbos burn through their clutches like mad. It's not the hp to worry about, its the torque.

Arrozburner, everything you want to do is what I am going to do. Daily driver with some track time, and the clutch on the website I said is full face kevlar with a sprung center, so It looks as though I will go with that.
