I am having a hard time finding good info on the differences on all of these clutches. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I keep looking at clutches for an upcoming Rb project and its just confusing me.

Main uses will be spirited street driving. then drag launches on street tires, possibly slicks later, just being stupid in the back woods near my house ( on asphalt) spirited highway pulls to spank all these damn hondas that keep trying to run me! damn KA.

So I am purchasing my Rb soon.. a few weeks.. I have mounts. and a water pump, will need a few other things till it runs but would like to have a new clutch and replacement parts done before drop in..

that said my end power expectations (far from now) are 450 Hp.. I intend to drive it stock for atleast 6 months.. as I will be focusing on a few other things once its streetable again.


To the real question.. I see 3,4, and 6 puck clutches.. i see single disc clutches, and I see twin disc clutches from. act, spec, OS geiken, Blitz, carbonetics.

I know these are all reputable companies, and I can find my power ratings.. my main concerns are the different styles.. they must have certain characteristics.. Is there anyone on here that might now a good site.. or would like to share some info...
I lurk and read here mostly,, I even search , but seem to have stalled on this one?

Honestly for something that is 450 hp, you probably want to go with the twin disc, or maybe an act 4/6 puck.

The difference is that the pressure plate will make the clutch heavier, with harsher engagement, but it will definitely clamp well for all that torque.

I believe that your setup would run well with the above ^ post from KaminaSan.

Good clutch choices for you:

1-OS Giken (Single disc aught to do) - Quite Pricey
2- ACT 4 or 6 Puck (Very streetable) - Very common
3- RPS Single Disc (GREAT CLUTCH!) - Owned myself, loved it, very smooth.

Those would be my choices (in no particular order)

I've personally had:

1- ACT 6puck (Sprung) on my 337.8AWHP Talon, it held up for 2 seasons of the odd street slip/drop and a few passes at the track, very good clutch (i did bag it a big haha)

2-RPS Stage 3 .. Had it on my TT5spd Soarer, ran about 300whp, amazing clutch, held up to anything I threw at it. (same clutch has held 650whp on a Supra in town)
-I mated this clutch to a Fidanza 12pnd flywheel.

3- ACT 3-Puck (Unsprung)... on my S13 (SR20RT) .. ran about 250whp, great clutch for drifting... grabs hard and doesnt let go. Never failed in the 2 years it was in the car, ended up selling the car. Would HIGHLY recommend for drifting, but daily driving it got tiresome on stop and go traffic.

Hope this helps,

-Dallas
