I lauch my car 5 or 6 times a week, what clutch should I buy?
 

Hey guys,
I haven't seen anyone ask this specific of needs question yet.

I have a '06 Evo IX 5 speed. I really do launch it 5 or 6 times every week. 5000 or so, rpm. I have 245mm wide Dunlop star-specs which are pretty sticky street tires. The car is stock except for 3" turbo back exhaust, HKS intake. I always run 101 octane and it is tuned for that, but stock boost.

I don't want a stiff pedal feel, but don't want to sacrifice longivity just cause of that....you know?

Anybody street race or autocross alot?

Thanks!!

I recommend a Carbonetic blade or single disk. Its easier on the tranny and drivetrain.

you will get flamed for street racing, i hope you mean the track :)

depends on how much torque you're pushing. how often you track/launch the car is only part of the question you're asking. You can't really go wrong ACT or Exedy though

im not a fan of act cause of lockout!

Im currently on the market for a new clutch. I have a Act Street clutch and the POS locks out lots from 2-3 and 3-4! I even adjusted my pedal! I kinda want a Quartmaster b/c of how smooth it is and no lockout! I test drove my friends and it was sweeeeeet! Feels like a honda when shifting! However.... $$$$$$$$!

I hear sometimes with the exedy's (non twin) they lock out too. I dunno if thats true though, maybe someone can chime in!

FWIW, there ain't a whole lot of launching around the cones. Good luck.

Every AutoX runn starts with a launch.... thats why I road race (I cant launch a car to save my life)

never had any experience with single exedy's but didn't have too many problems an any single act. I really liked my Exedy twin. No lock out from here.

Exedy twin or nothing. Have used it on the last 6 Evos I've had.

if yo9u launch your car that much i say get a packet of potato chips and a PS3 cause you're going to need it while the car is in the shop....

Oh but clutch, os geiken twin plate r2cd

Just curious. Why waste your money on race fuel for stock boost hahaha

A launch and quick acceleration are hardly the same thing. Most courses I've run situate an almost immediate turn after the start gate. A launch would put an Evo into the next lot.

i like road race dont know so much about car launch ,.....

How much chatter does the carbonetic blade clutch have? Normally puck style clutches chatter a lot even with the sprung hub?

The ones out here in AZ are very fast, thats probably macause the guy who designs them drives a corvette.
