Clutches

[Halon]

I thought the CFDF's didn't stand up as well as say ACT's did, to how 90% of AWD DSMers launch their AWD cars. ACT's take the repeated clutch dumping launches better, but reak havock on CFDF's. In a FWD, launching is completely different, so it'd prolly make a great FWD clutch.

Yeah, the CFDF doesn't like AWD lauches. It heats up too quickly. I like the 2600 for a decently powered street car. It is too bad they don't make a 2300. That would be perfect for cars in the 250 - 300whp range, like 50% of mod'd DSM's.

I am almost positive that Exedy doesn't make ACT. I have heard some success stories with RPS or Clutchmasters, but not as consistently as the ACT.

[Halon]

RRE makes a 2500. It's called the X-Clutch and damn near all the socal guys swear they are the best. But they only really sell it to locals, or customers who regularly purchase from them.

I put a new ACT in my ride and a budies Subie this weekend. Both pressure plates said Exedy. The Subie disk did as well, but the one for the Talon said ACT. I would have put in an Exedy, but the ACT is less expencive and the same thing.

Exeedy does make ACT, there name is stamped right on the pressure plates. Its small but if you look you will see it.

I was looking for when I get my DSM at the RPS Carbon-Carbon clutch and flywheel combo, but don't know much about them I saw that been used in a few DSM's with like 600+ hp and I don't know how much tq.




:goodluck:
I hope you have a lot of money laying around. [/b][/quote]
Yea, all $3k of it. :secret: If you ever need something more than a 2900, get a twin disc and call it good

ClutchMasters 2500lb w/4-puck sprung hub ceramic disc. I love it.

Bryan Nelson in Duluth is having great luck with his Clutch Masters Stage 3 on his GSX. He has done drag and road-race events with it, plus it is his normal DD during the summer months. He has used both a S16G and a 50-trim on it.

There really aren't too many clutch manufactuers in the world, and Exedy is one of them. They supply a lot of the aftermarket companies and the stock OEM stuff.

I thought I once heard if you called ACT you could special order a 2400 preasure plate? I could be wrong though, its just more rumor-mill stuff probably. It is too bad they don't have anything in between the 2100 that barely holds more than stock and the 2600 which is too extreme for 90% of the cars its on.

Supras and 3/S's love the RPS clutches, I guess they are really good quality and the price for DSM stuff is not too bad. A lot of StarQuest guys run the SPEC clutches.

Back to the original point I wanted to make, CFDF is an awsome clutch for FWD cars.

the 3s world is all about rps..followed by southbend...followed by 3sx/spec/everyone else.
Back in the day RPS used the 3s as a 'test bed' for alot of its clutches, when the carbon/carbons were first coming up the Supra owners tested it as well as the 3s owners to see if it was good for both platforms.

When you are making serious power, single plate clutches don't hold up...you might think its holding, but the clutch is actually slipping.
Most of the time what the advertised 'torque' value is actually correct, and anything over that will usually slip.
I'd say for a fwd drag car, something in the act 2600 range would work really well. Or call up soutbend clutch and tell them how much power you will make, what its in, and what your price range is, and you'll probably have something at your doorstep in a week.
