The HDG6 is no heavier pedal effort than EXEDY twin.

 

None of these comments have any factual basis. You do not need to start an account with Shepracing any more then you would with a stock clutch.

From 2nd to 5th gear one could not tell the difference in this clutch than organic.

What bothers me is that there are so many pollutant comments on evom to have a technical discussion about a product where the parties involved have actually had experience with the product of subject.

 

I ran the 6 puck act unsprung with 500whp and the hdss plate and got about 80 runs down the track before it came apart. Which in my opion is really good for the price of the clutch.
I was using the AEM 2 step set at 18lbs of boost off the line and the clutch held each time
Lol if my wife can daily drive a unsprung 6puck it cant be that bad...

 

amen to that

Did you use the stock flywheel or the aftermarket one?

 

Even nicer than that, we are discussing a SPRUNG 6puck which is even easier to drive.

 

^^ agreed. what impressed me the most from ifarted2's comments (somehow I don't like typing his name ) is the fact that he had 500 whp and took his car to the track for about 80 runs with that clutch. That's more than once going to the track every week in a year!!!
So, my whp is about 40% less than what he has. Logically, I could take my car to the track 40% more than what he did. That's 112 runs!!! impressive...very impressive

 

That is not a logical formula.

I did 140passes on the stock clutch with 405whp/445tq.

A lot has to do with driving style and how much you slip the unit.

Horsepower does not wear clutches, people wear clutches.

 

LOL i never broke my clutch. My mechanic told to put 500 miles on it and i was bad and went to the track and broke it in. My guess is the 6puck would have gone longer if i would have broke it in right.
o and i use the stock flywheel

 

yeah i agree with you...i like playing with numbers

thanks TTP..i guess you'll hear from me soon then

 

i drive an unsprung 6 puck everyday. it's not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. you get used to it in two days........and now, i actually prefer it

 

I just had the ACT XTR6 (Xtreme pressure plate with 6-puck) installed about a month ago after my stocker killed over at 60k.

After 1200 miles, here is the deal:
1. Pedal effort is very very close to stock. I honesty didn't notice a difference but I assume there must be.

2. Noisy at take-off (Humms). Noisy at decel (more likely 10lb flywheel than clutch).

3. No lockout.
4. Grabs like the 300lb bouncer at club 112. Since mine is unsprung, this shouldn't be surprising.

Overall, I like. And since I am going GT37R shortly, I will need all the grabbing power I can get.

 

Maybe i should've made myself more clear.

With the common evo driver who is lacking skills when it comes to the launching area. They will see added driveline thrash from the 6pluck type "on / off" clutches. They have a very small friction point and are kindof hard to slip. Most evo owners will cause more stress on stock driveline parts with this style clutch.



The street disc with xtreme plate i feel is much more suited for the average evo owner. Its rated at 636lb ft tq. And you can still slip it some.

Also a 6 puck disc for that clutch kit is 100$ incase you find the street disc not to enough for your application. I really dont see how you can go wrong with the XT-SS

but thats just me.

Just though this info needs restating

 

I would also recommend the XT over the HD with a 6 puck. The XT should hold the power you are looking to get while being easier to drive.

Puck style clutches are not built to be engaged and disengaged as many times as the Street disc style. And when you do try to slip them you end up wearing them out much quicker then the street disc. The only time I recommend puck clutches is when the customer is a serious drag racer and does not care about daily drivability or clutch life

 

What mods do you have?
