I see that rrm just put up some new options for replacing the lancer clutch. Rob or boe could you shed some light on this? What is inlcuded in both kits? How much power can each handle? etc

 

I want to know too!
Give us some info ......... and do you still have the other one available .....
curiosity.

 

bump

 

yea i want to know too. is for the turbo stages of the lancer

 

RRM where u at?

 

Stage 1 is basically for those going the NA route and not exceeding 200 crank hp/tq. It has the same feel as the stock... slightly stiffer but not much with the same ease of engagement. The stock feeling though gives up at high HP applications. It will wear better than a stock set, last longer basically, and keep things from slipping on the NA setup. If your staying NA go with this setup.

Stage 2 is for those planning to turbo or staying NA that want the best grip, no slip, fast acting clutch they can get. The Stage 2 is an ACT custom clutch that we had them design for the turbo'd lancer. While you'll have to develope a stronger leg to push this baby in you'll like the feel once you dump it and it sticks. I had this same clutch in my car and even when i was pushing over 260whp it never slipped once on the dump. It hooked evertime, all the time!!

 

In the picture of it, it looked like it came with the throw-out brearing. Is that correct? Is is better then the undersized crappy stock one?

That is an Understatement

 

boe, so at what point did you need to upgrade your clutch?

 

I did it at the same time i did turbo... i didn't want to wait and i was doing the LSD anyway. Thus i put it all in at once.

 

so do we really know when it is realy needed then?
