What is a good clutch kit for 1jz swap?

[Guyana00]

Any other full-face recommendations other than south bend?

For this kind of power goal would someone recommend upgrading the PP with a stockish replacement disk, upgraded disc with a stock pp, or upgrading both?

Why not talk to George at Raptor Racing and get a Feramic clutch disc and use the stock PP?

I don't know what would be best for me yet, that's why. I wanted to hear some recommendations about tq capacity, pedal feel, prices, clutch life, things like that.

DM's site is pretty good for describing applications. Looking at my options right now.

I love the ACT extreme 6 puck from www.driftmotion.com

im debating in which one to get... the ACT extreme 6 puck one, or the ACT HD stage 3 clutch kit, and should i get new flywheel with one of these kits or just resurface the flywheel off my stock r154?

 

[10secdream]

I would just resurface the stock flywheel if it was me.

ya thats what im thinking of doing as well... im not really going for big power on my 1j i just want to start it and just run it stock lol

Well guys are pushing over 500rwhp on the stock flywheel with good clutch setup so I am sure you will be fine. You might as well get a good clutch in case you ever decide to go for more power.

^^^ i agree, it never hurts to get a clutch that holds more power just in case down the road you decide you want more power

Ya thats what i was thinking of doing... now to find a good clutch kit lol

If you're not going over 400hp, I'd say go for a solid face clutch. 6 pucks chatter a lot and aren't needed unless you're hitting over 450 tq, and you won't with your goals

Chatter Huh?
Oh, wow, yeah they do. I have been wondering why mine chattered so damn much!!! I thought my flywheel just hadnt been faced before the it was put in. thanks for the knowledge. Is there any way to reduce the chatter. It really sucks!

I have a 6 puck clutch and the chatter is just something you have to deal with. I have learned to just let the rear tires spin a bit when starting out from first.

haha! Well, i have learned how to make a set of tires last 4-5 years. So i will just gripe about the chatter Tires are expensive

Clutch is still more expensive than tires. :icon_bigg Personally I would rather get a good clutch that can hold power and hopefully last. Remember you can't have the best of both worlds. You choose 1 or the other and live with it.

wait what??? How is a clutch more expensive? Tires run for about 550-600 a pair for the rear. If you are constantly spinning them, you will go through 2 sets in the time one should suffice. Atleast that is what i would expect. To date i have never in my life had a clutch go out on me. I have a 6 puck that can handle upto 550lbs of torque. I have been running her for 2 years with 300lbs of torque to her. Most decent clutches are about 5-600 dollars. I guess spinning tires all the time does sound fun. I will have to see how it does with the chatter.

I have the F1 stage 3 clutch kit w/chromoly flywheel & F1 Racing 'MIBA' Copper Ceramic 6-puck Disc . Horsepower Rating: 480 HP / Torque Capacity: 458 ft/lbs
When it was first installed I had chatter but after 1,000 miles now, it is "broken in".However,shortly after installation I had to replace the master cylinder. Feels like a strong stock clutch ,very comfortable. I paid less than $500.00 for everything. No problems with this kit.
