This has been talked about numerous times on forced induction but I will throw out my opinion. Ap1 flywheel or I like the 11lb flywheel for 550+ whp. Act pressure plate with oem honda friction disc end of story. The act friction disc chatters sometimes. Puck clutches suck. If you like driving your S on the street then forget this clutch! Don't listen to others saying it's ok and drives like stock...it doesn't! Competition stage 2 had chatter and I don't like this setup. SOS stage 2 ok but won't hold the power like the ACT setup so do it right once and forget the rest.

Puck clutches are so bad on the street. I guess that for the amount of power you're looking to make, you're probably stuck with the ACT option.

I'd buy a clutch bypass switch for starting the car...and don't push the clutch in except to shift/take off. Don't sit at lights and in traffic with your pedal pushed down like a fool.

I'd also use a Honda throw out bearing, high temp urea grease, and a new honda throw out bearing sleeve.

^I meant "stuck with the ACT option", as in the HD pressure plate and oem disk setup. That is...if you want to keep it a street car.

I really really liked the SPEC segmented clutch on my SR20DET 240SX. It wasn't making 400+hp,but it made tons of torque and the clutch held up great. Not sure how SPEC works out for S2000's.

Which turbo did you go with? I would agree with the other posters and go with the ACT HD pressure plate and the OEM disk. I am most likely purchasing that turbo kit and going with the ACT/OEM combo although I don't plan to run nearly as many whp as you. Any chance you can post pics of the kit and the install when you get it?
