the exedy hyper single on the S is a nice clutch however.. as stated above... it's either on/off... there is no play in the clutch at all.. and it's relatively hard... so if you drive in traffic a lot... stay away from it...

the act and comptech setup is very streetable.....

as for your question about the toda over the comptech.... depending on what you want to do, and what your goals are with the car..... if you end up going too light on your flywheel you will lose some low end torque... so if you drive your car daily, and there's some stop and go traffic here and there, get the comptech..... if you live in the country... lots of open road and you're "road" tracking the car a lot and don't really care about the little loss of torque down low..... go with the toda...

 

Dang...we all know that we can't afford to lose anymore torque on our S.

Also, how does a lighter flywheel translate into losing low-end torque? Seems to me that less unsprung weight = more torque. I don't know for sure so please correct me if I am wrong.

 

^^^ Inertia... more rotating mass=harder to stop/slow down... less rotating mass = easier to stop/slow down

 

Ok...I am far from being a science buff so please forgive me in advance for what I am about to say.

It seems to me that a lighter object would have less rotating mass, and would therefore be easier to stop/slow down.

Since the Toda flywheel is lighter, wouldn't it have less rotating mass?

 

thats exactly it...

less rotating mass means it's easier to stop/slow down/start..... so it takes more power/force to actually keep it moving.....when it's stopped it doesn't take much force to move it.. but once moving you need more force to keep it moving...

with more rotating mass.... it takes longer for it to stop/slow down/start... so once it's moving, it doesn't take as much power/force to keep it moving because the weight of it aids in keeping it moving...

a lighter flywheel looses some ability to transfer power....

you have to find the proper ballance for your particular application and car....

 

Umm, ok. Doesn't make perfect sense to me, but like I said before this isn't my area of expertise so I'll rely on you guys.

I appreciate everyone's comments thus far. I am really learning towards the Exedy Hyper Single simply because I have it in my Civic and really like it (with the exception of it bucking when I am in traffic).
