Clutch Recap

I like that idea stukkend! 😂

Well I have a copper clutch from Japan here at home...I just need a friction plate or something!

I see REzlo addes some 6 and 8 puk performance clutches to his line now. S13 included but you're looking at roughly a grand. That's just the clutch plate.

Gary do you know what material those pta guys use on the clutches they make up?

I dont know about the PTA guys but then ones I got made here in DBN are natural copper fiber clutches.

I run a 6puk ACT clutch on my 300+whp and 400+NM SR20DET, daily driver which means for it to be bearable, the pedal pressure must only be slightly heavier than stock, which it is, and it grips like u cant believe. And they are not as costly as you might think for a complete kit.

I think that will be my next step, will standard pressure plate fit?? Just a normal swop?

yup stock one will fit,

but dont forget that the clamping force is determined by the pressure plate, not the clutch plate.

the friction rate is determined by the clutch plate - so only changing the clutch plate will greatly improve your clutch bite...

but getting an uprated pressure plate and clutch plate will make it that much better!

VC you can increase the clapping force by going with a 4 puk instead of a 6 puk.

Well said nurseboy 😂 , it does not help you put in a R1000 made in durban carbon fiber indused titanium based reinforced gold clutch plate but you pressure plate can't keep the clutch against the flywheel....

Again does no one read my posts any more??

Um....thats great Gary, you are going with a great clutch plate but what keeps it on the flywheel......whats gonna happen when the force gets to much.....

If you go with a 4 puk clutch you will have more clapping pressure than if you went with a 6 puk, thats all. You dont have to upgrade the pressure plate to ensure the clutch grips.

again - none of you panzy's are reading what i am writing!

i said that the amount friction will increase with the copper clutch plate.

i said that the clamping force of the pressure plate wont increase because you are not changing your pressure plate.

what gary is saying is that with the 4 puck clutch plate the clamping force will increase - this is an easy deduction. the 4 puck clutch has much less of a surface area, so the amount of pressure will increase.

my main point was that although the clutch plate mod will increase the load that the clutch can handle (making it MUCH better than stock), the best way would be to change the pressure plate too. this would make it MUCH MUCH better than stock!

Again....no one is reading my posts.....lets all start crying 😢 😢

What you want to do gary is right, no probs, but at some stage the pressure plate will not cope with the power, the clutch will start shuddering alot more on pull away because the easiest whay for the power to be ubsorbed is by pushing back on the pressure plate.....as nurseboy said, it is better to do the pressure plate aswell.....it also minimises shuddering on normal driving.
