What kinda clutch would be good to get for my turbo 2, that aint to expensive but not the stock clutch. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

The Bonez competition clutch, i've heard is good. It depends on how much HP you got. I used to have a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, back wehn i had 207@ the wheels and 199 Ft/Tq. It never slipped and held up for 1.98 60' times. It isn't stiff at all. A littel over stock, but barely.

I heard great things about ACT s/s. I heard bad things about Centerforce.



I just got an ACT s/s with a HD PP, I cant comment on it yet since I have only had it for 250 miles. But so far I really like the feel over stock.

turborotor 12-13-2002 10:22 AM

ACT rules, is affordable, tough and give you a positive feeling of what is doing.



I've had 3 centerforces and they all sucked. I should of stopped on the second one. They basically self destruct on me.

i have act s/s. through-out bearing failed so i am getting that replaced other than that no complaints.

AP racing now makes street clutches https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png....no **** go with the ACT clutch setup

RX7ryder 12-13-2002 10:45 PM

I just got my ACT S/S 6 PUCK copper from rx7trix.com for 290. Its a complete kit and they got great service, highly recommend.

UniqueTII 12-16-2002 12:29 PM

I am going with an ACT S/S and lightweight flywheel over the winter (hey, that's now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR) when I get my tranny rebuilt...I have heard only good things about them.

mazdaspeed101 12-18-2002 02:30 AM

I think I am going to get a centerforce clutch the one that is just above stock, my car is mostly stock though so It should be alright

Racer X 12-18-2002 02:46 AM

I heard nothing good about them.My cousin has a supercharged civic and they told him 90% more holding power than stock and 1.5 months later it's slipping.And thats at 7 psi.Centerforce is a joke for the money.I'd say go with Racing Beat or even a ACT on it before centerforce.

honestly..i see no point in getting a gorilla puck clutch for a streetcar unless you have 500hp+500shot n20



DO NOT get a centerforce clutch..please for gods sake

My came with a CFDF and I didn't know it until I replaced it. I always hated the way it felt. If felt soft and had a non-linear action that never set well with me. It wasn't slipping or anything, I just thought it was a crummy stock setup and I wanted something better. I got the SR Racing internet package with the 9.5# over a year ago and couldn't be happier. It's been taking all the abuse that I can toss at it. Just for the clutch, it's not that expensive. It has good feel. It'll last you for a very, very long time at lower hp levels.

i dont like copper clutches on the street, i have one in the 20b and its going to get replaced with an organic disc

1Revvin7 12-19-2002 10:48 AM

cymfc3s 12-19-2002 11:43 AM

why would they sell a clutch that supports 1000 HP for only 290? Pls do not say stuff u do not kno. I have it installed and its great. Feels like a Toyota Pick up truck (driven one before). I only have exhaust thats all.

Apex13B 12-19-2002 07:09 PM

puck clutches are for drag/road course racing. They are made from sintered copper (do YOU know what that is? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ). their engagement is on/off....





i dont know what i'm doing...i work here



i'm all the way to the right in the group photo :rant: https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif :twisted:

Apex13B 12-19-2002 07:10 PM

vosko 12-19-2002 08:08 PM

i drove my TII for so long with the act extreme and 6puck. it was completely fine for daily driving and stop and go traffic. maybe i'm insane but i love how hard it gripped!!!!!!!!!! :wiggle:

Apex13B 12-19-2002 08:20 PM

you're a freak vosko https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

nymrod 12-20-2002 09:03 AM

I'm putting in an ACT S/S so if I destroy it I will let you know. I had a clutch made for my old RX from pineapple racing.. dunno if its the same thats on the net but it was sweet and cost about 290 shipped -=)

RX7ryder 12-20-2002 02:34 PM

alls i kno is that it is in my car and I LIKE IT. I highly recommend ACT 6 puck

75 Repu 12-20-2002 02:37 PM

I have a ram 6 puck kevlar in my fiero w/o damper springs.... dunno how it drives though since it's still not done ! hah.

Apex13B 12-21-2002 07:06 PM

******* chatter puck clutch.....from my experience. You drag racers are weird

i just think that it will grab too hard and put too much thrust force on the motor...i have seen idiots put 4 plate carbon clutches on 400hp motors and it ******* roots the motor A hard grabbing clutch will want to pull the e-shaft through the motor (from a physics stand point, math is fun). I also have seen puck clutches do this also not all of us have the time/money to pull a motor every 30,000 miles ok...im not saying that anybody is wrong or stupid so chill the **** out ppl..i'm just busting your balls https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif



so please let me know that im ******* stupid again https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif

how is the pedal pressure on the ACT SS compared to stock? I used to have a ACT on my Integra and was pretty pleased w/ it, probably will put one on my TII. If it's the same as it was on my integra, pedal pressure about doubles, with a much faster catch.

sunshine 12-23-2002 09:28 AM

The pedal press is a little firmer. Its about 20-30% more work. Its really nice IMO
