I run an act extreme pressure plate with a racing beat spung 6 puck. Also have an m2 9.5lb flywheel. Its fine once you get used to it. I had a centerforce before, and it wouldn't hold single turbo power. You could try a street disk with an extreme pressure plate and see i that would work though. There's also the exedy triple disk. Its seams expensive, but after you buy a clutch and flywheel, it isn't that much more.

 

twin plate...

 

ACT street-strip disc w/ 9.5# flywheel is doing well w/ 400 WHP and works for me.

 

Harrison,

As I said on the phone earlier, the Extreme pressure plate (ACT) will do all the "clamping" when running a street disk (OEM Mazda full face, sprung hub). It'll be LOADS more driveable than a solid hub and will hold 450RWHP just fine. What the organic disks WILL NOT do is tolerate lots of slip at launch while at the drag strip. It'll simply burn up. It'll also smell every time you slip the clutch on the street thereafter. It'll still hold, but it'll stink. Ask me how I know :-) I also went through an ACT HD pressure plate and organic disk in about a week while making about 340rwhp with the twins. The Extreme plate is the way to go and the pedal effort increase isn't significant.



Now I've heard that Pineapple racing has a new sprung six puck which apparently can be slipped and it'll tolerate the heat. Cost is in the$200++ range for the disk however.



Naturally the only REAL solution is the Tilton or AP carbon/carbon multi-plates. But who has $4500 lying around for a clutch?



As per the flywheel. With a single, you'll have an easier time building boost and more low end torque with the stock flywheel. Changing to lightweight rims would be a better way to go. I run a 9.5lb. flywheel and I don't get much boost off the line or through 1st gear as a result. A heavier flywheel would help solve this.

 

yea, i'm trying to sell my rims... i wanna get bronze TE's....

 

I've been trying to gert an answer in the 3rd gen for a few days on this.

I am pushin 360 on twins. I need a clutch and dont know what will be the most street friendly and still be ok for a weekend at the track.

I was thinking ACT 4puck spring loaded.

Now can some one explain to me the diff between the 4 puck and the 6 puck and should or sdhouldnt I get the extreme P plate with it.

Vosko has one he would sell me with 2k miles on it for $250 shipped. Ito can get me the 4 puck for $140..

What should I do?

 

6 Puck grips alot quicker witch makes for a better launch but DD with the 6 puck you will pray for no traffic.I honestly dont mind the ride.Get the Extreme PP also.ACT = Good clutches

 

I have the ACT setup and I can honestly say that it is far superior to any setup I have run before. Smooth engagement, good grip and exellent cluth feel.



ACT is the way to go.

 

yea i went ahead and ordered the XT00, so the extreme pressure plate, with the organic disc..... i'm only going to be going to the track a few times... mostley i'll be driving the car on the street, and i think it will hold fine, i don't see my trying to slip it anyway... might drop it a few times, but thats it.... plus i'll always be on street tires, so no race compound for me, meaning the the clutch and just grab and spin my tires instead....
