clutches

[joshcereal]

ok im a retartard

now when upgrading your clutch do you have to go threw teh stages or can i just jump to a stage 4 clutch with the ampition that my car will be 450whp evendtualy

also is spec a good brand and if not do you know where i can get a 450whp clutch that is good fro street use and a daily driver

[Blown240sx]

no you dont have to go threw the stages and unless you have 450 whp now dont bother. Most high stage high horse power clutches are hard to daily drive.

[joshcereal]

so what if i get like a 360whp because im running 290whp right now and its pretty much killed my clutch

[cheapscheisst]

don't get a spec. people who have had them say they're crap. if you are looking for maximum streetability, go with an ACT Street Clutch. If you are going to be making 450 whp (probably around 400 foot pounds) anytime soon, go for the 'Xtreme' version, as it's rated to 449 foot pounds (as opposed to the 'Heavy Duty' version, which is only rated to 362)

Buy a clutch that is rated in torque not HP. I've heard some good things about RPS clutches and I think that's what I'm going to roll with when I can get the money for it.

I have a ACT Street Strip and it slips with only 300whp 240tq @ 14psi. I can make 354whp 306tq @ 19psi but its slipping pretty bad at that point. ACT clutches use the same Discs but changes the Pressure Plate for Heavy Duty or Extreme. Im switching to an Exedy Stage II 3 Puck and hope it holds better. In a few years, ill get a Twin Plate and be done with it.

[Mistaken]

would a twin plate though be daily driveable? I know companies are coming out with organic twin disks, such as clutch masters and i wanna say spec is also. would those be a fairly mild engage but with good holding power, or will they still be extremely aggressive?

[Logan76]

Kid I know has a twin disc on his Evo, and its extremely hard to push in, dont know what brand.

[joshcereal]

ya i just want a clutch that is like stock pusying in mabye a lil stiffer cuz i have a bad knee and i propley will just go with the act than i dont know yet tho trying to keep it under 500 bucks for a clutch

[cheapscheisst]

get the ACT Xtreme and you should be fine. around $450 from enjuku. tell them your from nico and you'll get a small discount.
