act?? when you gonna be able to do this? after your surgery>? hopefully doing mine tomorrow!!! :thumbup:

koho2731 04-01-2006 04:45 PM

It's an Exedy. The shop I got it from www.Turbo-Concepts.com are kind of sponsoring me with dicounts on parts so they painted the pressure plate to there shop color :lol:
I may have my buddy do it form me while I'm recovering, but then I'll have to do all of the wiring on his Starion :lol:

getting a puck clutch was probably the stupidest thing you could've done- ESPECIALLY at your power level.

do some research before you put that thing in there, i think you'll hate it and it'll destroy the drivetrain. you need an ACT 2600, no if-ans or buts about it.

- former dsm'r that swears by ACT and street disks.

## if you don't believe me then explain to me why you need a puck clutch?

evo8power 04-01-2006 09:41 PM

sleeperstyle is exactly right.....i just switched to a puck clutch due to my power level and i cant stand it, but i need it, you dont, no offense, get a nice street disk and you will be set for a great drive and good launches at your level and even when you make more power, get rid of that clutch!!!!

peteyturbo 04-01-2006 09:43 PM

Zactly, I personally would have gone with the stock disc and 2600 PP, that combo works awesome..

So what do you think my power level is? I'm mean 450+whp isn't much of a stretch with my set up and a good tune. I did some research and from what I could find ACT has been having some quality issuses recently and people blowing them out very quickly I for one don't like swapping out clutches every other month.

evo8power 04-02-2006 08:19 AM

you make 450+ whp and run 13's????

I did research on that awhile back also.

But the only problems I consistently came across ACT referred to “Lockout,” and it was always far beyond 8,000rpm (and from what I recall, the problem is correctable by making minor adjustments.) Actually, I found the same amount of people blowing Exedy clutches to ACT.

Other than that, from what I’ve read, their clutches seem to be fine.

theres really no need for a puck style clutch with only 450whp unless you have extra money for drivetrain parts

I wasn't running full boost nor in my effieceny range yet. If you noticed I said a good tune. Not to mention I was running rich that night also. And having heat soaking problems too. Not to mention it was the only car I had there and didn't want to blow my clutch and find a way for my wife and myself to get home. It was the first time at the track and I am not too happy with the times.

The deal with the clutch that I bought is that it was put together for my setup that I have on my car by the guys who built my turbo. Its still an Exedy clutch but has a custom pressure plate.

TurboGTP 04-02-2006 05:56 PM

you dont mention a lot do you....lol

nice runs! Get that thing tuned in!

sleeperstyle 04-02-2006 06:41 PM

450awhp :roll:. IF you ahd racegas, this, that, and the third.

i guess you never heard of overclutching a car. i don't really care, do what you want i was just trying to help.

no offense also, but you obviously havn't done much research. like petey said, people hold down ALOT of power with a 2600 and stock/street disk, and if you really make that whp then all you have to do is get the 2900 pp with street disk (which i ran for a while, my awd car used to ever-so-slightly chirp 3rd :devil: ). i say you didn't do your research because people have been running that combo forever (it seems at least 7 years) and everybody that runs it swears by it.

i'd like to know what shop reccomended the puck clutch for your application. how many dsm's have they done/ do they do?
