OK I gotcha!

I wonder how you wouldve felt had trying the ACT 6 puck?

Either way I love my 6 puck ACT (xtreme) And Sickley wicked loves his ACT street disc! So Its all up to you!!

 

thanks SicklyWicked and sikrsix for the info. I am currently building my evo with the ETS 57-trim turbo kit along with all of the supporting mods to make me reach my 400+whp goal on pump gas. I have been talking to my tuner and he recommended ACT 6-puck sprung clutch. He wanted me to say away from the street disc cause it won't hold the power and i did not ask him about the xtreme. I usually go to the track twice a year and make 3 passes each time i go. Mostly this clutch is going to be used for DD and 20-130 pulls on the closed roads of course .

Sorry for stealing the thread.

 

I had a 6 puck on my honda swap, it SUCKS in traffic especially if you have a heavy sprung pressure plate. I spoke with an ACT rep and he said that if you take off smoothly with a 6 puck, you're ruining it....no ifs ands or buts.

 

^^hmmmmmm, interesting, so i gotta launch it pretty much everytime or take off fast .

 

the ACT xtreme with 6-puck will most DEFINITELY hold a **** ton of torque. It wouldn't be the BEST daily driver, but that's all relative. It's like really big cams, a huge exhaust, or a really big turbo- "friendliness" is lost, but some people are easier to let that go for the performance advantage- its all relative. The guy who installed my clutch had a DD act 6-puck and he loves it. It's grabbier and harsher, but if you want to push 700+lbs of torque and dont want to spend $3k+ on a mult-disk clutch, you cant beat the act 6puck with the xtreme duty pressure plate. Now, if you need a friendly DD without spending $1600+, then you can't beat the act xtreme duty with street disc- i have it and it engages BETTER than stock but can hold 550ft/lbs+

 

A honda with a cable clutch?!? <-- That would suck!

I drive my evo everyday, everywhere, anywhere,anytime.. On an xtreme 6 puck(3200 series) .. If it went out tomorrow, Id put in another one in it!

 

i had a 6 puck for about a year. the engagement didn't bother me although yes, it is very grabby.

what bothered me was the engagement noise.......freaking horrible.....couldn't take it.........

 

so, i have been talking to one of the tuner on here and he was telling me that ACT xtreme with HD pressure plate is more prone to locking!!! It that true with all ACT clutches??

 

I just bought that package from them and installed it this last weekend.

 

Many hondas have hydrolic clutches.Its the older generations that have cable.My 93 gsr was cable.94+ tegs were hydrolic.

 

So your honda with a 6 puck was a cable then right?? Like I said??? My friend built a nissan sentra (ya i know) lol And had a 6 puck cable clutch.. The two cars were not even close to comparison.. I would never do a puck/cable combo.. Youd have one leg bigger then the other for sure!!!

 

I have an ACT HD and I love it. It grabs nicely and can take a bit of a beating. lol

 

Either you are confused are they dont know crap. There is no such thing as a xtreme with hd pressure plate! In a clutch kit you have two basic components. The disk and the pressure plate. ACT makes a xtreme pressure plate and a HD pressure plate. You cant have both at once.

I have the XTSS (xtreme pressure plate and street disk) and love it! Someone a couple posts above said this cluch holds 550 tq, according to ACT it is 636 tq. There are very few evos with over 636tq.

 

I have the exedy 6-puc with prolite flywheel. I hate it for daily driving. It makes me seem as if I don't know how to drive. Hard to start off on an incline without getting high rpms and it has a lot of noise. I will be changing to the act street full disc set up.

 

oops....my bad, what i meant to say was ACT xtreme and ACT HD, not xtreme HD . I really need to start proof reading before posting . But back to the question, do they lock or not at higher RPM. Buschur racing/AMS dont recommend ACT! I wonder why?
