Has anyone ever run the 6puck ACT clutch discs on the street? I'm trying to decide which clutch disc is better for my application -
HSD802s or 6P212d. The first has an organic lining with a sprung hub, the second a metallic lining with a solid hub. I want the extra holding capacity but I'm worried about too much chatter and harsh engagement for street use (daily driver). I'm currently running a stock clutch with a SSG lightweight flywheel and it's starting to slip more than I want between shifts. I was going to use the new clutch disc with a stock style pressure plate. Any thoughts???

 

I have an Action 1MD. It''s a single diaphram pressure plate with an unsprung 6-puck disc with Miba friction pads. Before I bled my clutch, it would engage kind a high, and I wasn't used to it, so it would chatter if I wasn't paying attention. After I bled the clutch, it drives pretty much like my stock clutch did, and it only chatters if I seriously under-rev it, or am late with the clutch during shifts. The light weight of the unsprung 6-puck disc makes for nice shifting and engagement. I can't really say anything about ACT discs, but I like my Action. I do have an ACT Street Lite flywheel though, very nice piece at a very low price.

 

If you going to do it a heavy duty pressure plate and street disk and youll be ok i ran ACT 6-puc spring loaded clutch for two years till last month i like ACT i dont know if i would go back to it just hard to daily drive it and traffic stop and go was lame, but i guess thats like any other clutch with a race set up. Thats why i changed to a street disk and not full race set up

 

What kind of power figures are you making?

 

not sure never had it dyno'd i dont trust group 5 latly to dyno since i have heard so bad stories about tuning gone wrong and a person leaving with less then they started with. I dont want to drive it to LA i dont have

 

Not you. :slap:

 

lol

 

roughly 140 whp / 132 ftlb tq - I do plan to re-install the turbo setup I had on my other D16 (8lbs boost)

 

I would stick with a sprung hub. You aren't and won't be making enough power to justify it.

 

Thanx guys! I think I'll go with the organic
