track time sucked! Best clutch for ka-t hi power ,descent streetabilty?

Post by **mikesloud** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 9:28 pm

what is your experience? as,I am trying purchase another damn clutch!I am planning on putting more boost (25psi) and the clutch I have now -a 6 puck XTD 500hp racing clutch from ebay and it drives fine daily, but if I dump on it hard ,(launch to 2nd ,switching gears ,at track) It sucked asss. It holds fine if in 3rd or 4th on highway 35mph+ it does fine and does not slip. first time to take to track tonite (18psi) and it slipped bad even at 10 si like it was just revving in neautral! let off some it would catch some , I ran a whopping 17 sec.!! this pissed me of so bad, on roll races 30mph+ 2nd -4th races it pulls like a monster hardly any little slippage.I could not believe it..i t drove fine home from track and I made 6-7 19psi road pulls not one slip! I want to pullout this POS ! Ive had it 1 year daily driving 5000 miles and track time sucked!

any ways enough bitching ,` I just want to know your experiences on a good strong clutch for ka , no slip, and somewhat streetable. I do not want to ever experience my should be 450+hp 240 that is very strong be humilated again !

Is act setup good? spec?

Well, me i have roughly ~300 whp at 15 psi with an ACT STREET clutch and NO slippage whatsoever..!!! And to top it off:

Also i have a J30 LSD with axle's and 285x40x17's which u would think would make that clutch SLIP from that rear load...

Get the RPS MAX Pressure plate and Horsepowerfreaks sprung 6 puck.

You can call them up and order the RPS PP only.

and here is there custome sprung 6 puck. rebuilds are only $100 http://www.horsepowerfreaks.co...240SX

You could hold over 800hp with this combo. and I bet it drives nice.

Post by **fiznat** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:00 am

Yeah I also reccomend the RPS 6 puck with the heavy duty pressure plate. Thats what I'm using (20 psi, 430rwhp), and I havnt had it slip yet.

Perhaps the problem is not with the clutch.

The flywheel might need resurfacing.

Maybe the clutch is misaligned.

Post by **uncle_louie83** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 2:11 pm

I have 95 240sx,5000 miles on it 13 months on new motor, daily grind to work,gym, everywhere,all built motor all from KA24de.com jimwolf ecu 72lb injectors, big Kahuna T4, oncenter.58 a/r, - TO4 .70a/r , revhard manifold, tial wastegate , intercooler, afc2, lm1 wideband, . 13 psi daily , 19-21psi every now and then. I also have 93 240sx with Sr20det ,modded up a little .It has a ACT set up and it has no issues.I think the krappy XTD stage 5- 6 puck clutch in ka , but it holds most of the time on street daily . It seems like it only slips between shifts ,like 2nd to 3rd . it only does everyonce in while. I have driven for daily on streets and it did not bother me. At track it was horrible!!!Can you give me some links to these good clutches for ka? i am ready to buy so I can swap , or I will just buy the ACT like in my SR. I just thought there might be even better so i do not have to change again.

I gave you the link up top... But I should chime in with check out those sponsors -->

I think the one I listed will make you happy. And it can only be had at Horse power freaks. (Cuz they are custom for them)

Has anyone heard anything about a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch? How much power will it hold? how streetable is it?

Post by **MaxType 240** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 6:38 am

RPS 6 puck rated at 475tq is super streetable, I'm pleasantly surprised!

Post by **Structure240sx** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 7:13 am

i personally have the clutchmasters stage 5 and love it. i was in your boat before with a spec stage III

only other clutch i would go with would be the rps just from the high power guys using it having such good success with it

Post by **D1 guy** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 5:51 am

puck clutches arent as streetable as full disk clutches. Id suggest going with a spec clutch b/c they make one thatll hold 380lbs torque and still feels stock.

Post by **Structure240sx** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 6:52 am

my 4 puck upsprung CM stage 5 is very streetable, you have to comprimise somewhat with stock drivibility when going into the 400+rwhp/torque

Post by **mikesloud** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 7:38 am

hey , can you give a link on the best priced clutchmasters or RPS or a anything else worth it.

Post by **mikesloud** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 11:04 am

give me some links directly for best prices and clutch part numbers. I have had hard time for KA I found a bunch for SR clutches!

Post by **Structure240sx** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 5:01 pm

well, i got my clutch brand new but secondhand off a forum. i have seen it somewhere for $310 plus shipping. very cheap compared to the other clutchmasters stages

Post by **Jookmasta** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 6:46 pm

i know ur probably fairly knowledgeable but did u break in the clutch properly? with that kind of power, i dont think any clutch not broken in properly will call it quits on ya. I have also heard good things abou the rps clutches........i personally run ACT and i havent had any issues......

Dido.

Any other RPS or Clutchmater Stage 5 owners?

Post by **wild_maxx** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 5:46 am

i am running an rps street clutch. 10psi daily and runs great. never slips.

Post by **veilside180sx** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 6:12 am

I think I'll wind up doing a Clutchmasters STG 5 as well.

if you are running stock flywheel or planning on upgrading flywheel enjuku racing sells a flywheel clutch combo that uses the SR 240mm clutch on the 225mm ka (for that little extra grab.) or drill out the stock ka flywhell and pin it to use a sr clutch-Dave

Post by **Structure240sx** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 10:38 am

i didnt know they sold that for the ka, used to be called the "white bunny special"

with the larger diameter it allows you to use SR street clutches that can hold 500rwhp rather than an unsprung pucked clutch like the ka.

although it has been proven that the clutchmasters stage 5 can hold well over 500rwhp/tq (duy)

Post by **uncle_louie83** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 12:01 pm

Well ****...i was going to give you a link for the CM stage 5 clutch i bought...i pad 290 shipped for it. BUT http://www.240sxmotoring.com took the product off there website....

sorry man..otherwise i guess it would have helped.

on a plus note...the cm stage 5 clutch is awesome...it isnt as smooth as stock but its streetable...i love it and i will never go back to any other clutch ever....
