opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

has anyone run a stock disc with an aftermarket pp? what were your opinions? i bought an act clutch disc and pp off some kid for dirt cheap, i went to install it and the clutch disc didn't fit, it was out of an a1 tranny and he told me it was out of a ys1 :P anyways, so i just went ahead and used the pp with a basically brand new stock disc. i havnen't had a chance to rip on it yet b/c i've got to put a tps on her :P a lot of people have told me they grip really good like that but i was just wondering if anyone has personal experience with it. i'm just a little skeptical, after having a slipping stock clutch for 6 mos., i just want something that's really going to bite :P

ive done it, it will last a good while, but why not throw a act street disc in there just to be safe, they run about 60$.

they look identical to a stock disc but they have a higher heat resistance.

well, i would have liked to, but it was the weekend and no one in town carries good clutch discs and i didn't have the time to wait for one to get here :'( hopefully it will hold for a little while. i'm honestly not so worried about how long it will hold, but more of how good it will hold :-\ i just really want something that's going to grab good and not slip at all. my stock clutch slipped all the way to redline until i would back off the throttle, i just got so use to it, that it's hard for me to believe this set up will hold it any better, but i pray it does :-\

I ordered a ACT Street Kit from prostreetonline I think it was and I got a stock (Daiken) clutch with it, it grips alot better than my previous clutch that I blew up (BTW: STOCK CRX MOTOR). It was 230 for an ACT PP & Clutch with a Pliot bearing, and of course stickers!

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

i have the xtoo act clutch kit.
if you read on the box it says 'stock disc' i don't think they did anything to it, except manufacture it themselves.

the thing you run into with a stock disc.. it doesnt grip each gear really hard. i grips, but there is a noticeable different from the upper model street discs. it is nice for street driving though. and it stills holds the power.

i havent had any problem with my clutch, except the clearance. it was too thick right out of the box >:(

I run a similar setup.

ACT Heavy duty plate with an Exedy Disc. Grabs hard as hell, even on a hard 1st to 2nd power shift.

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

Full Exedy Stage 1 with a Fidanza 7 lb flywheel here. I smoked my stock clutch after about 3000 boosted miles and it only had about 35K on it. Even a stage 1 engages a lot harder and sooner than a stock one, I was surprised. I wanted to go with a Spec or ClutchExpress but the Exedy was a great local deal with the flywheel.

Point: Stock clutch sucks for boost. Go full aftermarket.

I am a little hard on clutches too.. I blew mine out.. within a month and a half.. (I only came home on the weekends too :-\)

But the stock pp would not grip as hard as the act.

go to kragen/autozone/pepboys and buy a stock clutch with lifetime warrantee. :P

Organic discs dont hold the big power, Why put something in there that will fail in time when you should just step up and get a ceramic 6 puck disc?

I'm not saying it's not going to work, but the prices of clutch kit nowadays are getting pretty cheap.

just and update, the ---- is holding fine.....@15psi.
























right now. :P

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

yeah, but the charge pipes aren't :P time to upgrade from the home depot couplers i guess, the boost is ripping them to shreads :-\

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

im rollin a act xtss and it grabs nice

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

yeah, i got the xtereme pp mated up with a new stock disc, it definitely grabs a million times better than my burnt up stock set up, i just hope it lasts a little while. it's nice to do mean burnouts with no slippage. it sure is nice to be albe to shift from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th without the clutch slipping to 8500 :P

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

15 psi eh.. whats your timing map look like on the top end on that stock engine?

Re:opinions on stock clutch disc and aftermarket pp??
 

very agressive, na, i'm just playing. i'm still running a basemap with 1* per psi. i'm really only running about 13 psi, but sometimes it will hit 15 for a second. ---- that engine anyways. i'm going to do a comp. test tonight, we'll be seeing how i feel then.
