ACT 2100 + 400hp?

[king_of_HTX]

My questions is will the act 2100 clutch with street disk hold up in my 95 gsx with 400+ awhp?

 

[90laserRSfwd]

not for long haha

Go ACT 2600 IMO.

Fidanza, naw. It's light weight, but it won't last long either.

 

[AndrewD5418]

Yes it will for the HP.. But not the torque

For 400 I'd step up to the 2900 instead of the 2600...

Ya you would need at least a 2600 to hold 400 with a street disk maybe a 2100 with a sprung 6 puck would do the trick

Unfortunately, I had bought the 2100 before I knew where I wanted to go with the car but I ended up buying alot more parts and stuff then I intended too and now I guess I'm going to go with the 2600 w/ Street disk. Anyone here use or know anything about the act 2900 with street disk?

Youd have a strong left leg...

 

[ILLiCliPSE]

fwd= 2100
awd= 2600

... it's that bad? Well I read a couple of other threads about the 2600 with street disk and it seems that it would be able to do the job.

 

[90laserRSfwd]

We're not saying it wouldn't do the job... we're saying it wouldn't do it's job very long...

The street disks on those ACT 2600 I've heard the like springs stick out more have been giving people trouble.

The springs i'm talking about look like coils, around the disk. I think last time I saw, they were 6.

The new disk used with the old pressure plate is the issue. They revised the pressure plate when they revised the disk.

Fidanza, naw. It's light weight, but it won't last long either.

Mine has lasted a long time. Why do you think they don't last long? I've never heard of anyone having problems with them lasting long.

A simple search of act 2100 showed this......

I dont usually do this, but its the 3rd 2100 thread this week. Use the damn search and stop wasting space.

 

[king_of_HTX]

Of course I saw all the clutch threads but none answered my question concerning the power that I hope to put down.

Of course I saw all the clutch threads but none answered my question concerning the power that I hope to put down so how about you stfu and stop wasting space in my thread. Thank you ma'am.

Power....power....Every clutch thread deals with power. What else do you want a clutch to do, bake your cookies? Here this one deals with power at only 360. So if there recomending a 2600 for only 360 any normal brained person would say ohh the same for 400tq. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261358&highlight=act+2100

This one goes into deph on awd and so on

that took a whole 3 min to find those. They go for the same range of Hp as you. I had a thread started on 400 awdhp clutches before. Ill find it later because its obvious your too imcompitant to find it on your own.

edit.... Post #10 and 11 answer your question flat out.

Well, a 400 WHP 2G is probably around 350 ft/lbs TQ, so why would you recommend such a large pressure plate? IIRC, the 2900 is rated at 600 ft/lbs of torque.

The 2600 plate and street disk will be just fine. Hell, a 2100 will even still hold up to that power - it did for me. The only problem with the 2100 would be that it's at it's peak capability. It would be a safer bet to get the 2600 and have a little room to play.

The Fidanza 4.3 clutch kit would be a good option as well.


I don't understand where this sudden wave of clutch misconceptions came from. Why does everyone feel the need to run a damn 2900 PP? 50% of the people running it probably doesn't need anything that big, and 80% of the people they are recommending them for, don't need it either.

If you're burning up street disk's, then try a different material disk. More pressure plate will cause your street disk to wear just as excessive and in many cases, it causes uneven wear and warping. You have to match your disk to your pressure plate, and the assembly has to match your torque output. You don't install a 2900 and 6-puck on your stock 2G, just because you figure you'll never need to upgrade it ever again - it doesn't work that way.


To the thread starter: The 2600 and street disk will be just just fine if you're at 340+ ft/lbs torque.

will not hold, mine fked after a couple miles, go with the 2600 and street disk , I love it
