Im am currently looking at the ACT clutch; like some other people are , yeah you Nick lol. I wanted to know if anyone has it and what feedback i can get from them on its performance. I know ACT is one of the best clutches out there but i know people have their own opinion. so i would greatly appreciate feedback on the ACT ZX2-HDSS Clutch it retails for $386 but ive found a coouple of sites that have it for $305.00. By april when i have my spring break im going to convert it and if im doing the tranny why put in the old clutch why not just put in a new one right. Kill two birds with one stone. Thanks

total will be like $450 with tranny and ACT clutch.P.S for those of you that dont know me i have an auto that im converting to 5 speed. Yeah i know "Atuooooooooooomatic wtf?" hey thats what i found and i love rex so much i just bought it lol
|
you should get a light wieght fly wheel too, it will save a little time and they drive better

yeah i was thinking bout the lighter flywheel but i dont want it too light i want something more reasonable like in the middle . But there are very expensive and i think i will put a hold on that. I dont want my boy to change his mind hes doing the tranny conversion for like $150, throw in some heinekins and some weed and im set, and thats including labor and all the other stuff like counter balances and what not. I got low funds right now. I get paid like $200.00 every two weeks from Autozone and that moneys goes in transportation for shcool , phone and insurance so im left with $20 lol. ANyways ill look into those flywheels thankz

what no feedback?
|
This is what I got from SRmotorsports.com-
It's there internet special: 1983-1991 RX-7 Non-Turbo #9.5 aluminum flywheel, counterweight, hardware and bearing kit and ACT clutch set. (race or street / strip) $799 Was $897 Part Number AC-13124 |
SO which clutch is this? 4/6puck or street clutch?
|
strip/street clutch the 4 and 6 puck are too rought they got ruff engagements and is not suitable for street carz
|
I have the one people call a street / strip clutch in my FD. It is the heavy duty pressure plate and street disc. Works fine so far, similar pedal feel to the original. Don't really notice a difference. I haven't abused it yet, you won't be testing the limit very hard either with an N/A. If you are getting it all for $450, jump on it. Cost me nearly 3X's that.
|
Yea, the one I got is the street/strip clutch.
|
Ah this thread just reminded me that im gonna need a new clutch soon. Ive done too many launches and the stock clutch wont hold out much more. But it had its fair share of problems to begin with i just finished it off.

To decide wether to get a light weigh flywheel or not, you need to decide what kind of racing you will be doing. For drag racing the stock, or slightly lighter flywheel will do. You need a nice heavy flywheel for the inertia to get off the line. But If you are going to do autocross or road racing, a lighter flywheel will be better. |
I wonder how well a street/strip clutch would actually hold up to drag racing/street use... assuming it was rated for more than enough torque.

well i assume it is better desinged to take more abuse than the stock one. I think they can pretty much assume that you will be dogging it once you get it so they have to make it for a stonger so you can get what you paid for. So no one has the act clutch?
|
My ACT clutch is being put in right now. Hopefully I'll be able to give you some feedback on mine in a week or so.
|
ok thats sounds good. Im doing this little conversion in mid april when i get my spring break from college. I think by that time you should have got some real things to tell me bout the clutch. Is it the ZX2-hdss???

Agh.. I wish I knew what that meant.. this is exactly where I got it from: http://www.srmotorsports.com/sr86clch.html
The presure plates comes in three types 1: Hd= Heavy Duty Pressure Plate 2: XT= X-treme Pressure plate 3: XX= Max Extreme The discs come in 5 styles but the last two are for racing and the SS is the top of the line for street use. After that its only for racing. So ihope that helps you in deciding what ZX2-Hdss means, and oh the ZX2 is the vehicle applications. Dont ask me why it should of been RX7-HDSS right jazer nyc |

Applications: Non Turbo, 1100/1300cc, 225mm Suggested Retail Price Clutch Kit Number: ZX2-HDSS $383.00 ACt info Torque Capacity: 268 Pressure Increase: 34% Over Stock Weight: 14.00 lbs.

RX7Trix has it for $305.00. |
I bought an ACT Xtreme pressure plate and SS disc a year and a half ago. Installed it last year with an RB 12lb aluminum flywheel and I would never want any more weight on the flywheel than there is now. It is an expensive upgrade though and you'll also have to invest in a $25 socket to remove the old flywheel and install the new one.
|
my boy got all the sockets needed since he does alot of werk with all rotary powered cars. He taking a tranny and a 13b engine and puttin in his rx-4. He blew his motor like a week ago. and hes sellingme the body for 100 bucks so if ya need anything let me know lol. how much is the Rb flywheel

$455.00 at www.mazdatrix.com

My buddy smoked his clutch disc with his stock twin turbos and all the bolt on mods. Got about 20 launches at the track and a couple of screwing around street burnouts out of it. I think he had street rubber on the car, not drag radials. Not to good. He ran a 12.8 on the last pass he did, and the clutch slipped completely on the way home from the track.

the act stage 2 clutch is rated at 260 ft lbs.....i dont think a PP/or bridge ported motor makes even close to that torque https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

THE 4/6 PUCKS ARE FOR REAL TRACK RACING NOT FOR US STREET RACERS https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

The guy I got my haltech map from has a stock s4 block that is making 300ft lbs of torque on a hybrid turbo https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png..... Anyhow thats kinda of what I am wondering, there is a ACT street/strip clutch I am looking at that is rated for up to 440ft/lbs of torque, But can this handle high rpm launches and last a long time???? I mean if it could what the hell would be the point of 6/4 puck clutches?? cuz those are just harsh.
I didnt mention the fact that me and rotaryrocket7's cars are NA, so there is less torque involved in the equation. I suggest if you want streetabliity go with a multi-disc setup with a medium pressure plate...lots of money though. Drag racing breaks clutches, so your choice will be a comprimise. Solely dependent on your wallet |
yeah what he said. I kant wait to get my clutch but wait i gotta get my tranny first.
