Because i have seen them blow up on 220whp all motor hondas, let alone a awd turbo car.

 

A friend of mine had the same problem with a centerforce on his stang. The culprit ended up being the pos throw out bearing that centerforce provided.

 

I,ve had a CF dual friction in my 63 dodge 440 (well over 500 ft. lbs. of trq.) for about ten years now. After going thru 2 mopar performance heavy duty clutches within 3 years of nothing but street use i put the CF in and its been thru a lot of power shifting and long smokey burnouts and is still working like new. I would guess it has about 25k miles on it. I dont drive the car that often obviousely. I was going to try the CF on my IX but couldnt get any feedback from anyone with an Evo. I went with the ACT MB7-HDSS and prolight flywheel and couldnt be happier with it. Stock like operation,quiet and holds power.By stock like i mean smooth as glass on take off at any rpm.

 

Most of the Throw Out bearings that Centerforce sell, are stock one's re-boxed.

 

Apples to Oranges.

 

act is the way to go

 

I did use the Centerforce throw out bearing, but it had the Mitsubishi OEM part number on it. I really wanted this clutch to work for me because I didn't want to fork over more $ for another clutch and installation labor after only 1 year of use. I ended up having to pay for another clutch and install and got a Exedy Twin HD and have not had one lockout issue at all.

 

Act

 

ACT all the way, its what im running in my EVO right now...

x2

my old hatch back only made 240 (dynojet number)

i had a "race" CF that had maybe about 2k of "street driving"

took it to the track to do a 3rd gear burnout on 24's, and i missed the patch of water and the clutch went out before the stock axles did...

after taking it apart, about 40% of the teeth were warped because of heat...

 

I had the ACT HD in my VIII and loved it...Ill most likely go the same route on my IX unless I can get a good deal on a twin disc

 

Act

 

Um not really at all.

 

I run the CF DF in my 340 Dodge Dart... but I wouldnt think twice about ACT vs CF in an evo.....act all the way.
