[1989rps13]

exedy or act??

which one do you like better though
and how much horsepower does a stage 2 usually can handle??

[s13silvia123]

my recommendation is stay under 300 hp

my ACT clutch right now is for 372 lbs of torque but i blew my turbo upgrade so it sort of chatters a bit cause it wont let the clutch slip like the stage 2's. but it doesnt bother me much.

you'll have to get the right clutch for the right amount of torque and power your going for. its a recommendation even from the companies who manufactures the clutches.

okay then thanks
i thought stage 2 clutches would be able to handle more horsepower

Exedy is awesome.
just google hyper single and you'll know that everyone loves them.

do not buy a clutch that is rated at a higher power rating than what you got...very bad idea...6 yrs ago i had a civic hatchback and i bought an act stage 3 6 puck clutch for it and learned the hardway...it damaged my transmission and didnt last very long at all...also, dont buy a racing disc, get a street disc w/ springs unless its not ur daily driver...clutches without springs have lots of chatter and usually engage harshly...i have a stage 2 exedy clutch in my turbo impreza and its great...feels like a stock sti clutch but holds a touch more power...remember, buy a clutch that is rated around the power that you got...70-80 hp/ft lb more on the clutch rating is ok, but dont go over 100 b/c its not recommended...dont learn the hard way...cars are money pits especially when u make bad clutch decisions
