Thread: Clutch kit HP ratings and price questions.

Try it again Greg. None of them are right. Just copy and paste from post #8 and make sure to unbold everything. :o

hmm, I guess the JWT can't handle as much as the ACT. I've seen people used the ACT HD PP and 00 SE disc and run 300whp without any issue.

I would guess the idea behind the JWT pressure plate is to keep pedal effort down. Lots of trade offs with pressure plate clamping force and clutch disc material, etc.

hit "F5" Young Jedi, they look good to me.

I did.
Stage 1 doesn't explain well enough that it is a Key Value pressure plate and disc.
Stage 2 calls the Key Value pressure plate a "clutch".
Stage 3 uses "2k" instead of "2000", has a capital "P" for pressure plate and is missing a period at the end of the last sentence.
Stage 4 has a capital "P" for pressure plate and is missing a period at the end of the last sentence.

Also good idea for stages 2 and 3. They should have a caveat similar to stage 4:

(Actual B15 disc not pictured.)

Now it's looking good. Sorry for being an anal perfectionist. =/

All new changes implimented.

Also, just got off the phone with Clark @ JWT. The 2000 SE B15 disc may be good for more than I say. The weakness doesn't turn out to be the material, rather the hub. The metal in the center can give up and springs will pop out. this is a common problem in DET SR20s, and not just to Nissan discs. ACT had a MAJOR problem for awhile. They may have it under control now. Ben, that stg3 setup may run for awhile provided you're not street or drag racing and doing gnarly clutch dumps. It's probably as good as any organic disc within 5-10%. The material needs to change to get more grip. As to clamping force, the JWT should be as strong or stronger than the ACT N011, not sure about the extreme. The reason JWT PPs are soft like OEM is because they have adjusted the fulcrum point of the fingers and the plate. Makes it softer, though the throw might increase slightly. Probably not noticable though.

Thanks for all the good info. I eat it for breakfast.
I don't plan on many drag races, and sadly I won't see much road racing I'm sure. So, we'll see what happens.
