So what are the recommended clutches to use with the Kraftwerks kit? A pucked clutch is out of the question. So what is everyone running and what do they like or not like about it?

Thanks
Rob

 

I'm in the same boat as I just purchased the new Kraftwerks kit. I just replaced my clutch 3,000mi ago with the upgraded OEM clutch and ACT flywheel because the stock disk was driving me crazy (clutch buzz). At the time, I wasn't thinking of supercharging the S2000. Im having a tough time making a decision. I like the FX350 from Clutchmasters (holds a lot of power and should be good on the street and the track) however I'm hearing a lot of mixed reviews on this clutch. ACT seems like a good choice because it would be the cheapest option as all I would need to do is the pressure plate. However It would be near the limit of what it is rated for and I may wanna make more power in the future. I Do a lot of track days as well and worry about it holding up over time. Competition stage 4 would do the trick however I do still drive on the street and don't want to deal with the chatter and clutch buzz. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Chad

 

In my setup (2009 AP2), I'll be running an ACT H021 Pressure Plate, a OEM friction disk, and an AP1 flywheel, clutch delay valve removed. Good feel, not too hard to press.

Some people have driven with the stock clutch, but if you have the clutch delay valve in the slave cylinder, you have to shift slowly and let the clutch hook up before you get back on the throttle. Not the way most will want to drive.

 

Do what the man says.... This is the proven way. I went against the norm and got a custom set up and it failed and now I'm doing it twice.

Act pp, oem disk, and a 10lbs flywheel.

 

^^^ Yup. Did this in my N/A car getting ready for boost and it was great! ACT PP + OEM clutch with lightweight flywheel. Amazing difference even in my old AP1. I can't wait to feel the difference when I do it in my AP2.

 

I know I'm kinda thread jacking here but does anyone have first hand experience with tracking this setup? I don't want to change the clutch for a third time. So at 400hp 260ft/lbs i need to know it will withstand the track abuse on a regular basis and still have room to grow in the hp department.

 

Plan on going FI soon and already have an install set for the new clutch. Jordan, an S2K guru, suggested the setup everyone is listing: ACT HD PP, AP1 Flywheel and Friction Disk. Should be good for 400hp or so.

 

Wouldn't SOS clutch be the go to product in this case? Why the confusion?

260tq is peak for a second or so if that so...
The ScienceofSpeed Sport Clutch for Honda S2000 is rated at 300 lb/ft at the flywheel (approximately 255 lb/ft wheel torque or 400+ wheel horsepower)

Done deal. Bam

 

I would go with the sos clutch and flywheel....

 

ACT PP with OEM disc feels like stock and holds 350+ torque. I can't speak for the SOS. I've read it feels good but why not get a clutch that holds more and cost about the same?
