how much power will the act 2600 hold

[myturbo]

like the title says but with a street disc i was thinking about going to a sprung 6 puck

The 2600 is a great street clutch. You get the strong hookup you NEED and the ease of driving like you want.

I did 320 FWHP and I was spinning rubber way before I burned clutch. I don't know the HP ratings but that should help give you an idea.

I've added and modded since the 320hp dyno, I'm estimating I have somewhere around 380...but don't quote me. And my 2600 hasn't slipped yet.

ok im planin on 600+ to all 4 wheels! .

The clutch rating is based on torque not hp. For a goal like that you will need for than a 2600

yes i no but with dsm's if they have about the same hp they have about the same torq what im asking is then how much (torq) will the act 2600 hold

how much boost were you runin.

 

[thatblondechik]

how much boost were you runin.

It was dyno'ed on 18psi, I've since run upwards of 22psi on the same clutch. I'm finishing up an engine build and swap which I'm hoping will put my car in the mid to high 400's and I plan to run the same ACT2600 setup. From what I've read/heard/researched the ACT will hold all that and a bit more.

And unless you're planning to get into the 600's in ONE build (doubtful...very difficult/expensive to do) I'd recommend the 2600 or if you just want a little beefier, the 2900 will do you just fine until you get closer to that goal.

Dont get an act. The 2600 has too much pedal pressure.And i've heard from a dsm guru turned subaru guru they can cause crankwalk.Try taking a look at Exedy. you wont be disappointed.

If you are going to really run 600hp a twin disc would hold the power well and put up with the abuse.

But if you are going to slowly build up to 600hp, then something a bit smaller will work. No use in putting in a thousand dollar clutch setup and only run stock power you know?

 

[94Jettameowpsst]

dont skimp out on your drivetrain, it will burn you in the end if you do. If you really have aspirations for 600whp + id honestly save up, spend the money, and buy a ptt twin disc. Probably the best clutch i've ever had the chance to use minus driving a triple disc exedy (yumm that was glorious haha). You have the slippability, the torque holding capabilities, and basically no pedal pressure at all.

A 2600 will hold 600hp or 450ft/lbs or so with a pucked disc, but i wouldnt use an act again after the ptt installation....find someone that has one and persuade them to let you drive once, you wont want nething else, trust me

 

[myturbo]

yes im going to be runing 600+ awhp when i put the car back together sometime this month i have a 2600 and cant afford a twin or tripple plate cluch im going to be runin 25- 40 psi 22psi for break in and the set psi will be on what hp i make so if the 2600 will hold i have a street disc right now what disc should i go with i was told the 2600 will hold but only for about a month. didnt no if it was true so i thought i would ask around before i put my car back together.

It doesnt cause CW, it can accelerate it if your crank is already out of spec. Please dont spread mis-information that you heard.

IMO i wouldnt run the 2600 bc it will slip very very quickly. At the very minimum, if you absolutely have to run the 26, buy a 6 puck sprung disc. They're like 100 bucks or so and actually arent that bad to drive on.

 

[thatblondechik]

A clutch WILL NOT CAUSE CRANKWALK!. That's absolutely retarded. The increased pressure of a stiff clutch on the crank of a dying 7-bolt won't help the matter but it won't by any means be the "end all."

I've had a bit of experience with different clutch applications in the life of my DSMs.

Post #11 has a small little write-up I did on a few of the kits I've used. And by all means, I'd recommend an ACT any day.

You just got owned by a girl!..Sorry had to do it =)

Well your already pretty set on using the 2600 since you don't have an option. So..you will run it and you will burn it. Simple you might get 500 out of it, but 600 i can almost garentee you won't

 

[92AWDHX40]

I use a ACT also on my car and 9,000 miles and its doing great, i drive my car like i stole it. I use the ACT 2100 with my tre tranny and i love it. Love ACT wouldnt change to another brand.

You are also not trying to make 600whp and continue driving it with that amount of power either. Fact of the matter is it will slip unless you are running fwd, and even then, unless you're running slicks and launching it all the time, you wont slip...even with a 2100.

The heavy clutch pressure can induce crankwalk. It is more prominent on a vehicle that has a crank thats out of spec, a 7 bolt, or a car with a weak thrust bearing and ish, but constant pressure on your crank when you push in the clutch that has to have 30498098lbs of foot to push it in will move your whole situation around and stress your bearings.

This girl knows her shit

And I never said that he'd hold to 600.

I just don't think that he'll hit 600 before he wants to actually DRIVE the car...ya know?

 

[94Jettameowpsst]

even with a 6 puck cluch sprung or not

a 6 puck is grabbier due to the large surface area on the pads and the material its made out of. It will slip but it will grip longer with heat applied to it...but in the reverse effect its more of a chance that you'll warp your flywheel. Being sprung or unsprung doesnt have anything to do with torque holding capacitys, it will determine how much you can slip your clutch when you release the pedal.

 

[hubz91talontsi]

Oh, not saying you did just saying PERIOD. It will not make 600.

Ahhh...just throw an eBay special on there...mmmm I love the smell of toasted clutch in the morning.

well i will be tuning it and upping the boost untill i hit atleast 600 awhp so i will drive and tune it maybe more hp but my goal is 600 flat and 10.999 in the 1/4 mile

 

[hubz91talontsi]

Well i know all about this first hand...I built my motor, and had no cash for a tranny clutch and flywheel. So since then my pedal has yet to hit the floor, and in 5th gear im lucky to hit boost.

You can slip a sprung clutch the same as am unsprung, the difference is the sprung hub will absorb some of the shock before it enters the drivetrain unlike an unsprung hub.

To the OP, if you are planning to invest enough to make the kind of power you are wanting to make, you will have to invest some into the drivetrain as well, or you can start replacing parts as they break
