this is going to be my first performance clutch. I don't really know whats out there. my 7 is a little over 300hp and i want to get something that could last me awhile... i do plan to add some more hp... any suggestions ??

 

im looking to spend maybe 500-800

i just put a 4 puck clutch i got from www.speedmachineperformance.com, it's a little rough but it's streetable. it'll handle up to 514ft/lbs of torque and was only $500. it'll take a while getting used to drive a 4 puck but it's well worth it.

 

Same clutch as I have on my 7. Good product.

 

I've used the same one in my old FD and it worked great.

 

might as well get a lightweight flywheel too. i bought a kit from SR Motorsports.

http://www.srmotorsports.com/sr93clch.html

comes with:



SR motorsports 9.5lb lightweight flywheel
counterweight
hardware kit
throw out bearing
pilot bearing
pilot bearing seal
alignment tool
complete ACT Extreme clutch set (street/strip)

came out to about $1025 shipped.

 

That kit looks familiar

 

Yup, for your power level this is the clutch to get, mine lasted me over 50k miles and held up to 340 rwhp with no problems.....it'll take everything the stock twins can throw at it

 

This isn't directed at you theorie, I'm sure you had no idea.

Guys, PLEASE don't support SRMotorsports, check this thread for more info:

I'm happy with my ACT SS.
Dom, I know I'm answering a question that wasn't asked, but some other incidentals I'd recommend with the clutch would be a new clutch fork, pilot bearing and rear seal for the transmission while you've got it out.

 

I have a SR flywheel . Sorry Rich, bought it 2 years ago off atihun though.

 

they have a great price on the act street/strip kit here http://turboimport.com/catalog/rx7.htm

 

Go for a SPEC clutch it is nearly as smooth as the standard but still a heavy duty performance clutch.

 

Damn....they are a hell of alot cheaper.

 

Can the Street strip clutch handle 400whp since it can handle 403lb of torque? If not wats the next most streetable clutch that can handle 400? Sry to jack the thread...

 

No, it can't. Go for a sprung six puck, either ACT or Spec.

 

thx alot guys... and stg ill take what you said into consideration need to see how much cash ill have..thx for the advice i think ill go with the SS Act need to do some more research. and ill probably pick up a light weigh flywheel too...

 

+ infinity for the ACT street/strip setup. Best clutch I've ever driven. good pedal feel, and never slipped. had the same setup on three different cars now. puck clutches are just not streetable enough. not unless you like clutch chatter and drivetrain shock.

 

I've always been partial to the the DXD clutches from South bend clutch. 6 puck, pedal effort not ridiculous, should hold your power no prob, $600. they even have a ferrous form of the DXD if you wanna get crazy or are a 1/4 mile guy.

Check it out or drop em a line, they're cool dudes.

wat about the ACT extreme? Ive read that the 6-puck is horrible for street.....

 

Per ACT, the HD00 is discontinued (there's lots of NOS) and it's replacement is either the ZX3-HDSS or ZX3-HDMM.

I have a 325 RWHP FD, and went with the HDSS along with a lightweight flywheel (Fidanza) with easy to find replacement surfaces.

Clutchkit from CarolinaClutch.com (call them, they will match & free shipping).

i had a 6 puck sprung clutch in my t2, its not bad

dont believe everything you read / heard on the internet

 

+1 works well with me

 

I am running a Spec sprung 6 puck, and it's very streetable. Those springs make a difference
