Thread: Clutch Disk Options

How much torque are you expecting?

I'm betting you could avoid having to deal with a 6-puck clutch. I would say an 8-puck at the most but hopefully you can use a full face clutch with no issues. But for that, we will need to know how much torque you plan on making.

The pressure plate you have. How much clamping force does it have, or how much torque can it handle over stock?

I plan on putting a t28 turbo so I'd say around 280-300 wheel torque. As for the pressure plate, it is a custom plate that I was told will handle 350whp.

ACT 6 puck SPRUNG with a HD pressure plate. Been running that for 3 yrs and it still holds like the day I put it in. I'm making 250wtq also so all you guys that loose springs need to learn how to drive or something. I beat the shit out of that clutch and I've never had an issue.
My friend is also making the same power with a HD pp and a street disc which makes engagement a little less jerky on the street. However if you plan on going to the track once a week I would suggest a 6 puck its more predictable for launching.

With what type of clutch? A pressure plate can't handle any torque on its own. You can't get a "rating" for a pressure plate on its own. It might handle 250 WTQ with a full faced, organic disc or it might handle much less. It might handle 350 WTQ with an 8-puck semi-metallic disc or it might handle much less. It might handle 450 WTQ with a 6-puck ceramic disc but it might handle much less. Who knows?
You need to find out and tell us.

BenFenner, sorry but as of right now I do not know that. I don't mind a clutch that's going to be a little harsh, just one that's going to last me and not cause problems. I'm going to choose one of the following but I rather hear from anyone who has used these or what you guys reccomend. Heres the link.....

That is the wrong link, sorry about that. Here is the right one.

Alright, for some reason the links are not working so I'll just post the clutches that they offer.

I personally think the the Act 6 pad clutch disc seems to be the best, but any input is would be helpful
