if your engines not heavily modded you may not need as heavy of a clutch your call


look around on here, they carry the whole line of ACT as well as many others, i recomend them, sorry no one replied, if id have seen it earlier id have posted :thumb:

fyi the ebay f1 clutchs are ok for the money and a good mid range price clutch is the ZOOM clutches

I ran an Exedy Clutch for years, stage 2. Boost + Nitrous killed it.

I switched to a Comp clutch.

Competition clutches are great. Pretty cheap too.

I'm running a stage 4 - 6 puck sprung. Holds like a champ.

sorry to thread jack OP, but it's kinda related....





a buddy and I were discussing this the other day...

lets say you get a OEM replacement clutch for your GSR. that clutch is made to withstand say 180 bhp from a 2700lb car..

question is, by using the same clutch in a car weighing around 2000lbs, is the clutch able to withstand a little more power as its not lugging the extra weight???

it would probally be able to take a little more, but not enough to make a difference imo.... the 500lbs weight difference isnt that much for the limit of a stock clutch...

on a side note... a friend of mine ran his stock clutch that came in his SiR dropout behind the b16, a lsv, a stock ls on spray, and then finally a jrsc equipped b16 before it finally gave out....

any weight that goes away would take a bit of pressure off the drivetrain but its not going to be that much of a difference.

500 extra lbs on a 2000lb car is HUGE though.. it's gotta allow for a good bit of extra power
