hello all,

Well I just went FI with a comptech SC and after a few highways pulls the otherday I found out my clutch slips. I guess at around 85k miles it was about its time anyway. I have been trying to do some research but I haven't been able to find much other then it seems like ACT clutchs are the best for the buck. That and I just figured i should get a lighter flywheel with it since that seems to be what people do.


Basically I wanted to know what specific clutch and flywheel combo i should get since I am clueless. I am kind of confused with how the clutches are rated and all the parts that are sold separate. That and where to buy it.

I autox on occasion and hope to do some track days. So i guess the car will be used as intended. I don't plan on having over 400whp with the car so I would assume if the clutch was rated for 450 at the crank it would be strong enough.

 

a clutch is rated by torque not horsepower, if the clutch has to high of a torque rating it could be a burden to engage and disengage in stop and go traffic, the torque increase is what is making it slip not the miles on the car

 

alright. well is there a specific combo I should get? I am still a little confused and don't want to buy the wrong thing.

 

i love my exedy hyper single

 

i would say a torque rating of 250 would be good enouh unless you did a small diameter pulley and even then you should be good

 

alright. should I get everything?

Pressure plate, disc, barring, flywheel. Anything else I'm missing?

 

T/O bearing & Pilot bearing with your flywheel and clutch are a good idea since you are in there.

 

Please consider this as an option. We've installed and used about everything on the market and feel this is best in quality and most importantly, drivability:

I have the SOS sport clutch with the lightweight flywheel (11.5 lbs) & I absolutely love it! It engages soo much better than OEM, but it's not any harder to drive, it's actually easier IMHO. The pedal feel is lighter than OEM. The 11.5 lbs flywheel is perfect, it makes rev matching & heel-toe shifting a lot easier. I can't comment on the ultra lightweight flywheels (7-8 lbs), I've never driven with one. There is a great thread in this forum about flywheels though.

If you want the extra capacity of an aftermarket clutch, but with the easy daily drivability, then I would suggest the SOS kit. Seems like it fits what you are looking for. But If you want more than 250 tq, go with something else.

Oh and the BEST part... no clutch buzz at all!

Here is that thread about flywheels...

Yes, get everything. PP,Disc, flywheel, and the bearings. Are you installing it yourself? You would need to at least resurface the OEM flywheel if you want to re-use it, if you don't want to buy one.
