Another clutch thread, this is getting old.

Everyone is going to tell you 50 different clutches, read up and find out which one is for you. Most are going to tell you either Exedy HD or Tilton, I went with Tilton.

Dirk aka Actman will be on here to tell you all you need to know. PM him, he is a guru on clutches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Clutches are rated by torque, not hp but I assume that 650awhp is around 550 ftlbs at the wheels which is probably a little over 600 ftlbs at the flywheel, correct? THe next questions are going to be what kind of use and what is important to you as far as benefits and tradeoffs. We have clutches to handle that kind of power and they are reasonably priced. They are not fancy and in most cases don't need to be. You don't have to buy one that is fancy and expensive to be effective. Just take Turbotrix for example running quite a bit more power than that, consistently running 9's and using a real no-frills ACT setup. But if you are no doubt putting thousands into this motor, don't buy a clutch just because it is "cheap". Buy the one that is going to give you the balance of benefits and tradeoffs that you desire. I would be glad to discuss further if you drop me a PM.

 

BTW, thanks!

 

 

last time..for those of you who just dont know...


EXEDY!

 

im goin to be using it at the dragstrip and also driving with it. thanks

 

act extreme ...i have that its rated over 600tq

 

good luck with that one on the street haha ..... Besides the noise and how harsh it is on the tranny and t case Ill stick with a 3500 tilton that i have on my car now ... BTW if u want an ACT clutch i had it on my car for 1500 miles ill let it go for 250 bucks

 

.PERIOD.PERIOD.PERIOD.

 

You gotta be talking about the 6 puck. I've yet to come across any puck style clutch that is streetable. But the ACT XTSS is awesome (Xtreme PP w/ Street disc). Rated at 636 ft lbs. I have it in my car and its as smooth as stock. No noise at all, engages smooth, and its by far the most streetable aftermarket clutch i've ever had in any of my cars. It hasn't slipped yet w/ 25 psi on my 2.3 and GT35R combo. I'm going to find out this week if it can hold 30-33 psi when it goes on the dyno.

 

You'll need to go to Twin plate or better yet, Triple.
Otherwise you'll need one beefy left foot

 

ACT extreme, 726 WHP without a problem. Still using my car everery day for work, no problem....
