hey guys so il be needing a new clutch soon . im trying to decide between act or competition stage 2 . also a f1 lightweight flywheel will be going with any of these setups . i wanna shoot more for competition since its a little cheaper than act but i would like some personal opnions or experience on it . il also be installing my turbo it soon and shouldnt be making anymore then 300whp . so which clutch set up do you guys recommend ?

thanks , chris

 

I would suggest the SOS. I was in a similar situation and I think it is the way to go after I did all my research. It is made specifically for our cars unlike the other clutches. It is rated for about 400rwhp and can probably handle a bit more than that. It has a sporty feel to it but it isn't difficult to use in stop and go traffic. Plus they have excellent customer service and you buy from the manufacture directly.

The only reason I would ever get anything else than the SOS clutch is if I planned on making more than 420ish rwhp. And in that case I would get the ACT since it has been proven to work on our cars.

Also, I kept my stock flywheel to save money. I'm not sure if you have an AP1 or 2 though. If you have a 2 i would defiantly change it. If its a 1 the stock one is already fairly light.

Also, if you can't afford the SOS that is only about $100 more than the others, if that, then you shouldn't be thinking about buying a turbo. My 2 cents.

 

I have the turbo already that's y I'm looking for a good clutch but if I could fine a good clutch at a good price y not save the lil extra money you know lol

 

Big question...does the SOS kit have clutch buzz?

 

I have no clue about the SOS clutch . But I'm looking into the competition clutch . But I was some opinions on it before I buy it

 

i would go with competition.
this sponsor has pretty decent prices https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/890...ch-super-sale/

 

I have a stage 4 6-puck sprung Competition Clutch in my LS-VTEC CRX that will eventually be boosted. Hard to tell if the pedal is stiff due to the hydro conversion (which mounts a master cylinder onto the clutch pedal) or if it's the clutch itself, probably is a combination of both, however I have no complaint about the clutch. Has held extremely well and their products have always been quality.

 

Is there any AP1 clutch that DOESN'T buzz?

 

OEM disc's don't buzz. If you think they do, you never heard a 00-01 disc.

 

I have the stage 4 Comp. Clutch w/ Ultralight flywheel, the takeup is abrupt it takes a while to get used to. Rev-matching w/ the ultralight makes it all worth it..............and...yes it buzzes like crazy.
