ACT Clutch + Flywheel Review

[fabrizzio71]

260wtq would be like putting another stock clutch in there. Not to mention how are you going to get to 350whp at 260wtq on a car with redline of 6500? And a turbo car at that, which makes the torque down low and can't carry it to redline? I also don't see any kits for the 2017+ on the website. Are you looking at kits for the NA cars? Then those numbers would make more sense.

Sorry totally my blunder, I have the wrong company. I was looking at Action clutch’s website who sell kits for the 10th gen turbo Si.

I see on ACT’s website kits are now on sale. I asked a rep what the power holding was for stages 1-4 and all they were able to tell me was for stage 3 and 4 and said power holding was 350whp and 260wtq for both. This seemed lower than I expected and is different than what you posted. Do you know what stage your test kit corresponds to? I see they also have stage 5 and 6 but those are not recommended for daily driving. Any feedback you have is appreciated.

Please disregard this, I confused ACT with Action clutch, totally different company.

are these numbers below at the wheels or at the crank because that would make a huge difference. for instance 363 at the crank minus the 15% loss (conservative) reduces that number down by 54-ish leaving 309 at the wheels. the TSP Stage 2 tuned says 327 at the wheels so you're gonna eat it with the organic.



one other question is the flywheel steel or aluminum?

Sorry haven't been online in a while. Guessing it's rated at the crank? Not sure honestly, I'll see if I can get the info.

Steel if I remember correctly. I'll ask and give an update.

Clutches are always rated at the crank.

Why would a clutch be rated to whp? Doesn't even make sense.. unless they want you to guess what it would be rated at the crank where the action happens.

Can the clutch+pressure plate be paired with the stock flywheel? No it has to be paired with the ACT flywheel.

Is the flywheel steel or aluminum? It is 4140 forged chrome moly steel

Is the torque rating based on the crank or wheel? At the crank

Looks like their 6 puck is what I need then with my setup.

A little update:

Purchased the PRL flex-fuel kit + TSP Stage 2 tune. Been running the car on e35 and flooring it religiously. The car really wakes up with ethanol! I haven't had any clutch slippage as of yet. I'll keep you guys up to date.

Glad it’s holding the stage 2! You have any other mods?

No other mods!

OP, any idea when this kit is going to come out? 1200 miles into my brand new SI after some bolt ons and 5th and 6th is starting to slip a bit.

Be prepared for your clutch to start dying more within 3 months.
