act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

ive heard clutchmasters were junk and act was the way to go but those clutches arent cheap. but what about exedy there resonably priced any opinions on these clutches from people that have had them......or should i just buy a oem?????(running less than 200 hp and 200 lbs of tq)

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

lots of people on Honda-tech love the Action Clutches, you might want to check them out, i think that RPI (one of your sponsers here ;)) sells them...

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

oops guess not...but looks like they got deals on the other clutches... link to RPI Racing

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

not me personly but i know a couple people with 3 pucks and 6 pucks and they sewar by them thats act clutches my boy had a centerforce in his neon and it still slipped right after he put it in that clucth sucked not worht the 350 he paid

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

lol thats just it im cheap and dont want to put 250-300 in a clutch thats why im thinking exedy cause there only like 100 bucks im just woundering if a exedy would work for me sense im not running high hp or trq

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

I got a daiken? oem replacement clutch which I think is made by exedy, and it sucked fucken ass. I wouldn't even try to boost with that bullshit. IMO

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

well looks like im savin my pennies cause the only one that ive heard anything good about is act and there not cheap(for me atleast) ill i have to say is that if i pay that much for it it better not slip

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

i love my exedy clutch! i have had it in my zc swap for about a year and it has never once slipped. and i definatley don't baby it. i launch at 5 grand at the track using slicks, and the clutch just holds like a champ. never had problems with the clutch getting too hot either. i say go with the exedy. you don't be disapointed. oh, daiken is the oem replacement version of exedy racing clutches and yes they suck ass. exedy is the racing devision and they use way higher quality materials than the daiken clutches!

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

Just beware, there are stock oem replacement exedy clutches and there are the high performance race clutches. The oem ones i think are those ones on ebay for like $150 or less

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

yeh the exedy clutches on ebay are like 98 bucks and a act is like 250 and up

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

i actually have a bad ass set up. i have an act heavy duty pp and the exedy disk. works great!!!. i cant get traction until 3rd gear. and it grips great. instant action for just a street disk. its been 3 monthes now and i skid 2nd gear scratches, and chirps in 3rd. clutchcityonline.com got mine there for 276 shipped.

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

same here i run a act street clutch and it grips for me, spins thru 1,2 and part of 3rd. its holding up at 10 psi on a d16a6 from a t3/t04e.

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

nothing wrong with exedy. i just bought one to go along with my turbo project and there are a few people i know from customcivics.com that love theirs. particularly the webmaster with a turbo Si. i've heard good things about act as well, but if you want to save money i don't think you'll have any problem with the excedy, specially <200hp

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

First of all before you change clutches ARE YOU PUSHING MORE THEN 290 HORSEPOWER?

If you're looking for a factory replacement, or a street clutch I have NEVER had a problem with clutchmasters (Onyx and I have installed these on over 4 cars in the 2 years, with no problems.) For performance clutches, ACT seems to be prime.

Again, don't be a stupid ricer and buy 'racing' gear for your Civic. Racing really refers to drag-strip racing, not driving 60 mph in a school zone.

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

maybe the reason i was wanting to change my clutch was because it was slipping??? and i didnt want to put a clutch in and smoke it a month later thats why i wanted peoples experiences with diff clutches.so maybe ill buy the exedy and put a set of type R floor mats in my car with the money i saved...will that make my car faster...how about a sir sticker??

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

Don't forget the Altezzas! Really, I have an ACT 4 puck with the HD pressure plate. Sudden engagement is the name of the game. I'm happy. Held up to more that my clutchnet 6 puck did.

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

whatever you do... Do Not get Exedy Clutch. I mean yes its good for a stock car. But if you want to boost your car... Exedy is not recommended. For one reason, out of my personal experience is that my car tends to shake violently when i shift at high rpm. It just cant handle the power the turbo is putting down to the wheels.


So i freaking ditch Exedy clutch and went with ACT 6 Puck Clutch once i got boosted. But the ACT clutch tends to make my legs hurts after long period of driving. It kind of pushes back.

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

lol little stiff huh?? well thanks guys for the input im getting a act didnt want to spend the money and first but yet i dont want to have to tear down my car every month to change the clutch

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

For a boosted ZC which one is better the 4 puck disk or the 6 puck disk from ACT?
I read on RPI's site about they recommending the 6 pad disk for larger sizes??(sizes of what??)
And which one would be better though?
It says the 4 pas has harsher engagement etc.. I don't mind that

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

I'm happy with the 4 puck on my D16z6. I bet I'll work good for you too.

Re:act,exedy,clutchmasters?????
 

Thanks for the info
