Need help choosing the right clutch.
Alright guys my clutch is slipping like a bastage and its time to invest in a new clutch.
Here are the facts.
Ive got a 88 TII with the following mods.
streetported motor w/3mm apex seals.
upgraded fast trax t04 turbo.
3inch turboback exhaust to racing beat mufflers.
hks intake.
hks intake manifold.
cartech exhaust manifold.
garret front mount intercooler.
fd fuel pump.
removed PS and AC.
boosting 11 psi.
Dont know how power or torque I am making, I bought the car with all the mods.
I heard ACT clutches are the best but the clutch kit I want from them is only rated at 325 ft/lbs of torque and I think I may be exceeding that or close to it. I dont want to go 6 or 4 puck because I hear the engaugement is to tough for street driving. I also dont want to spend over much over 350 for a clutch.
I was looking at BNR supercars site and they have star spec clutches. How are these clutches? I havent heard anything about them. Their is a stage 2 clutch they have rated for 400 rwhp for 300 bucks which I think is a good deal.
Any other good clutches out there? I heard Exedy is preety good.

I have a 4 puck with an extreme pressure plate and it's great. It's a little harsh on hill engagement but other then that it's fine. An extreme pressureplate with a 4puck should do you fine just take it easy when your breaking it in.
If you want to make 100% sure it's gonna work tho, You need to dyno your car first and find out exactly where you stand. I'm sure if your sitting on 300-325 rwhp ACT is making sure that their clutches are rated far about that number just to be sure their products will withstand it. ACT is a quality product (Speaking with Exp.)
