Best Clutch And Flywheel

[imboostin]

I am going to be putting a motor into my car and I wanted to do things the right way, even including upgrading the tranny and I was wondering what everyones input is on the best clutch and flywheel for a DSM?




THANX

I am a fan on the ACT 2600 & JUN flywheel.

 

[HyperGSX]

Act 2600 and a Fidanza Flywheel is a really popular combo.

 

[imboostin]

Thanx for your input. now i just need to decide between JDM or upgraded rebuild of my motor. Havent decided

I got a Clutchmasters FX100 clutch w/ findanza flywheel and I love it.

I just blew my transmission and going to replace that and the clutch and want to know what you guys consider to be the best clutch for me. I have very light modding but plan on doing more. Thanks

Act 2600

I have found a new clutch that I am impressed with the construction of so I am going to give it a try. here is a copy of my post on the se.dsm.org forum

I found the clutch to buy.

Gonna be gettin a new clutch soon and i wanted some good advice on the best one,streetable though.Thanks

This is more of a personal preferance thing. I had an ACT 2100 in my Laser and I loved it. It depends on how much power you want to make to. Judgeing from your list of mods I'd suggest an ACT 2100.

 

[91TSI505]

Is the ACT clutch worth the xtra $50 over the RAM clutch?Thanks alot for your reply

 

[TurBoGs-T]

Never used a RAM but i would guess that it would be being that ACT specializes in Clutches.

 

[boostineklipz]

ACT 2600 for you

 

[wastefuldreamer]

I 2nd the 2600

 

[headrec*]

I personally would go with the ACT 2600 because you're AWD. It's by far the best clutch for the money. I wouldn't mess with the 2100 unless you're a GST and your not so go with the 2600 hands down.

 

[91TSI505]

well its 2600 then!thanks for the input i almost went with a 2100 or a ram,Thanks.

 

[luv2eclipse]

I was told by a few people to go with the 2100 because I'll burn it up so fast the first year I'm at the track until I learn.

 

[RipperXX]

same here but i dont think im going to burn it up in the first yr.... maybe 2-3 and then im paying someone to install a 2600 damn man changeing the clutch on our cars is a bi***... not like a RWD camaro eh...

 

[TurBoGs-T]

So would it be pointless for me to get an ACT2600??? or would i be perfectly fine with the 2100???

 

[Dieselboy]

All other clutches < ACT 2600

ACT 2600 fo sho

 

[Dieselboy]

TurBo-GsT... an ACT 2100 should do you just fine. But for an FWD, Id also recommend looking into a CF.

When I originally installed my ACT2100 I was thinking I would only be buying a T28 killer as a turbo upgrade. Well I ended up getting a PTE 50 trim and all it takes is a few launches at 23 psi for this clutch to start slipping a little in 3rd gear. What clutch/disc combo would handle drag launching with the 50 trim without destroying my transmission in the process? A friend of mine suggested an ACT2600 pressure plate with a ceramic disc from clutchmasters, has anybody tried this combo? What other combos would work well for my use?

 

[Cirus_93TSI]

i think most people with high hp dsms are running act 2600 w/street discs, u dont want a race disc from clutchmasters, it will hold the power and launch really good but its a waste of money to buy a $500 clutch that might last 5 months if ur lucky and dont race much, my friend had one on his stock turbo 2g, he races the car almost every day but 4 months after he installed the clutch he blew the tranny, the gear it threw hit the pressure plate, so we pulled the clutch off, the disc had about a week of daily driving left on it(or about 2 launches) before it went bad
i remember seeing that guy in a mag a few months back(i believe it was the guy from pruven performance that had the fp30 when it was a prototype) that said he tried 25 different clutch combos and the best combo he found was an act 2600 pressure plate with a stock disc, but that car wasnt built for daily driving, it was built for quick ETs
the clutchmasters 2500 is a very good clutch, if u really eed something to hold power and arent worried about how many times a year u have top replace the clutch disc then get either the cm 2500 w/race disc, or an act 2600 w/race disc, but id recomend a street disc cause u will burn those race discs up faster then u can prder replacements if u race alot
