What Clutch and Flywheel Setup should I go with?

talktonight · Post by **talktonight** » January 28th, 2006, 1:06 pm

As of right now my mods are: TODA Header, Omni Power Test-Pipe, DC Sports Cat-Back Exhaust, Denso Iridium Plugs, NGK Wires, and an AEM CAI.

Future Plans as follows: TODA Spec C Cams, TODA Valve Springs & Retainers, TODA Cam Gears, Mugen Metal Head Gasket, High Compression Pistons (Not Sure What Brand yet), TODA Sport Injection Kit (ITB's yay!

) and a HONADATA S300 to manage all of that.

I Dont what to buy a clutch twice. So I need it to be able to handel all my future plans. I do daily drive my car, but I also go to the circut and run. VIR, CMP, & Road Atlanta.

I was thinking about getting the ACT HD Clutch Kit with a 6 puk sprung hub setup. And then to go along with that there prolight flywheel.

What do you guys think? What is your suggestion for clutch kits and flywheels?

I had the ACT XT-SS in my car for 20k + miles and it kinda hard to get the healtoe just right with that clutch, It did not have enough travel. It was like a toggle switch and On track I feel the stock is a whole bunch easier to shift with. I might try the ACT hd-ss next time I need a clutch... Which I think might be rather soon.

Action Kevlar. I run one in my ITR. Smooth as silk and can handle plenty of power.

^ +1 i just put in an Action 1KS on my teg when i put the tiper tranny in. so far i absolutly love it. pedal is just a tad harder than stock and the engagment its buttery smooth. i would say the 1KS should be able to hold the power u would make, but if u wana stiffer pedal and make sure u get it right first u might wana go with the 2KS, which should easily be able to hold your power and take the abuse and the actual clutch should be able to out live your car.

heres where i bought mine from.

Thanks for the comments so far

Is it better to get a flywheel by the same manufactuer as the clutch kit? And what flywheel do you recomend?

The lightest FW you can find that you can afford. I have the Comptech AL FW. It was listed at 6.75 when I bought it...

different companies is usually ok.
