I'm looking at getting the ACT clutch kit from the Rx-7 store that says it can hold back 330lb ft of torque.
Here is what I have (and will have)
13b-re running a 60-1 p-trim 1.0 a/r 15psi ( or maybe a T62 with close to those specs)
All the things to go with it (3"exh custom devided manifold ect ect..)
87-88 T2 trans, RB light weight steel flywheel
in a 83 Rx-7 that should weigh no more than 2400#s loaded

I'm thinking it should put down somewhere around 350 RWHP, do you think I will have more than 330 lb/ft tq on hand with this setup?

 

any one?

Just looking for sugestions

 

since the car is really light it should be ok.

Sure, the 13B 2-rotor, even turbo'd, will still produce about 10%-20% less torque than it does horsepower.

I think that that should be OK. Hehe, that's almost the exact same setup i'm going to be running in my FC (ACT @ 330 ft lbs, T04 60-1 P-trim, 1.00 A/R divided @ 12-15psi, ...)

Let me know how that works out!,

hmm...
I think it will be close to what it can hold back. If it had 350rwhp thats about 400 flywheel hp right? If it has 400hp and I take off 20% of that to get a estamate for flywheel torque I come up with 320lb/ft torque.

Sound right to you guys?

 

ACT has a couple of different stages, they have a full out race stage that is supposed to hold 600ft of torque. A good friend of mine is making over 550ft of torque, running some very large slicks 30x12.5x15 and using the ACT clutch set up and no problems...

 

I'm aware of there other combinations but I want it to be "streetable". It's going to be mostly be driven on the street.

Think they over rate ther clutches any, build some sort of safety factor in them?

 

Hey I got act street/strip I think they call it and it was suppose to be better than the stock clutch. Anyhow I have not notice any freaking difference in within the two but feel like a bitch clutch to me because it's very soft for me and I was hoping that the clutch pedal would be siffer instead of soft. Anyhow it's on 93 rx.
