How streetable do you thinks the 4 puck clutch is. I am planing on running a gt35/40 with all the other bolt on stuff. I dont need it for a everyday driver, because its my fun car, only take it out it get a movie or show it off. i am hoping that this clucht clamps a little less than the 6 puck is this a fair conclusion. Thanks Marc

I have one more question. How well would a half bridge ported motor idle. I know that the full bridge ported motor dosen't idle very good. Would the half be better at idle. Marc

mmonaco

nobody has a clue or what.

SPOautos

I have a 4 puck thats great for the street. I got it from www.BNRsupercars.com

Its the only one I've ever tried so I can really comment on the other brands.

As for the bridge ports idle, they can idle good if you know someone that REALLY know how to tune a high performance rotary. Unless you just really want a bridge I'd go streetport, a street port is good enough to get you in the 9's thru the 1/4

well how much do you like your tranny???? they will eat it alive along with the flywheel. not really streetable though. i have no problem driving a six puc in the honda and never tried on a 7. although a 4 puc means more aggressive. the flywheel will wear before the clutch needs to be replaced and the tranny will take major stress. its up to you though. i have seen so many people wonder why their tranny goes out when using stage 4 clutchmasters(uh its for racing only) after 10K miles. sure it doesnt seem like much, but figure 10K miles of just racing.

Depends on how much driving your gonna do with it and your needs. If your daily driving with the occasional racing then i wouldn't go with a 4 puck. It's pretty aggressive and like others have said will cause unwanted stress. I've got a 4 puck sprung hub in my Mustang and it's never had a problem....it's been about 1 1/2yrs. I've also got the same in my FD but don't really have any driving time with it. I drive the **** out of my cars though and don't care about comfort. It's all up to how you want the car to perform.

I'm using the same clutch as SPOautos, a spring hub 4-puck. Once you get it broken in and get used to it, it's not as bad as one might think. I drive my car daily, like Stephen, and usually forget it's even in there. As for excessive wear, one you learn how to engage the clutch smoothly, I don't see how you're going to wear out the flywheel that much faster. It's when you try to drag out the clutch and the whole car starts shuddering, that you're doing the damage.

SPOautos

It might take a week to get really use to it. Its not hard to drive at all just takes getting use to it. You have to let out on the clutch faster cause it want to clamp.

I'm not running a ACT, I'm running a STAR from www.BNRsupercars.com I've never ran a ACT so it might be different.

Also, as for the flywheel. I just pulled my motor and after about 5K miles (which I know isnt much) there is absolutly no wear on the flywheel or clutch. They both look just like they did when I installed them.

On a side note from experience I can tell you that the tighter you torque the bolts that mount the clutch to the flywheel the harder it is to drive smoothly. I'd just torque them down to about 25ft lbs. which is stock spec torque rating. Some shops might just tighten the **** out of it with a air gun and its going to make for a harsh engaugement. If you have it done tell them to torque to 25ftlbs

Good Luck,
STEPHEN
