I have a chance to buy an ACT clutch kit that has a four puck unsprung hub clutch and HD PP for CHEAP. I want to eventually drift the FC I have after I get a 3.90 posi rear and dtss inserts and a street port on my 13B. Is this a good idea to not let this clutch kit deal pass by me? I've been advised that I will hate life if i use that cluitch kit in my car. But the clutch kit has less than 800 miles on it...... what would you do?

 

Get a clutch where the rated torque is just over the amount of torque you're making. Your NA doesn't need that clutch behind it.

 

i have herd to not use puck style clutchs in a drift car but im not sure if its correct, i just use my stock clutch but stock power lol and open diff with megan track series coilovers works ok for me but a 2 way lsd would help alot

 

Puck clutches eat flywheels and pressure plates when you clutch kick.

 

Yup, I can speak on this from experience and with an act (exedy) too!

 

Then nvm on the clutch haha. What clutch do most of you guys use? When I build this car next year money won't be a problem. I was thinking exedy. I have a few friends who like the spec stage 3+ too.

 

I loved my old spec stage 2.
Put MANY miles on it. Eventually popped 4 of the 6 rivets holding the center together(was still drivable).

I'm currently using an ACT Heavy duty PP and street/strip disk. It's taken plenty of clutch kicks. Although I did snap a pivot ball.

 

I've been running a Racing Beat sintered 4 puck solid disk all season including daily driving to work and stuff, hahaha. It's held up fine, but I have very very low power. The car came with it and I'm lazy, so I kept the clutch in. I don't know if I'd recommend it though, it does seem like a good way to break stuff if you have decent horsepower.

 

I'm surprised a new stock PP doesn't break those things. Run any upgraded PP and you're at risk of it failing. If you have the ACT Xtreme you might as well keep an extra in the glove box.

Anyone know if the NA and TII ***** are the same size?

 

yeah i had problems so i just pulled the disk out- now my pressure plate and flywheel are so sweet.
