SUBE555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Is that torque capacity satisfactory for Stage 2, etc cars as torque at the flywheel on many of these cars should be in the range of 350ft-lbs and possibly more on the stock turbo.

PGT Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Peter - anything available with a higher torque rating? A Stg II care is already passed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptan Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Best bet is the ACT 6 puck clutch. I have it and it will definitely hold stage 2 and then some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I see the 6-Puck Race Clutch is rated for 401ft-lbs so yes, though I'm sure the let-off may be a bit more harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLTek Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 hi guys, this is the the same clutch that cobb sells. I have a stage II protuned car that is showing 340 ft/lbs of torque and my stock clutch does just fine. This clutch has a lot more gripping force so the net result will be a slightly stiffer peddal but quicker, stronger grip. Going along the same lines of compatibility, if someone is willing to take a gamble, there are 2 other kits SB2-HDR4, 4 puck, rated at 401 ft/lbs SB2-HDR6, 6 puck, rated at 401 ft/lbs Let me know if you are interested in this one but the fist option is the safest and would probably compliment an every day driver the best. I hope this helps PS PLtek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Are these puck clutches sprung hub or unsprung? and also, do you sell a flywheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLTek Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 the sb2-hd00 is a sprung clutch and so are the other 2. Yes, I can get flywheels, ones that ACT recommends, the streetlite and prolite models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 How much are the flywheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLTek Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 i will have the prices on the flywheels and other clutches tomorrow. i also communicated with a couple of people who installed sb2-hd00 kit and it can easily handle stage 2 torque and is definitely a lot more of a clutch than the stock one/ Remember, that you also dont want to put a clutch that is too much for what you are running because it will not be pleasant on your foot and it will not feel smooth. So back to group buy. Please see post#1 for pricing and requirements PS PLtek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnoldscu Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Just curious... I take it that the horsepower ratings are at the flywheel - so 401 ft*lbs as a max may not even be enough for a well tuned 20G turbo, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLTek Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 OK, i just spoke to my mechanic who has a fp green in his sti, somewhat of an equivalent of a 20G, and he is running a twin plate exedy clutch rated at around 800 ft/lbs, an overkill to say the least but his tranny can handle a lot more abuse than our stock one. As he explains, the idea is to match the clutch with the torque output at the flywheel. Now, if you have a stock clutch and running a 20G and putting out 400ft/lbs, the stock clutch can handle it, but it will take it say, 15 revolutions to fully engage. This will cause it to wear quicker but on positive, it will be a lot easier on the tranny and the drivetrain. If you slap a 500 or a 600ft/lb clutch or a twin plate 800ft/lb one on your car, it will take say .5 to 2 revolutions to engage or GRAB in this case. You are quick, not much loss, but it will be a lot rougher on the tranny and drivetrain components, a lot more likely to damage them. I hope this helps, it did for me (: PS PLtek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieRU Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Has anyone had a chance to install ACT SB2-HD00 on a LGT 05? I received the kit last week, and my mechanic said that everything seems to fit except the release bearing would not clip to the clutch fork. Any solutions?

SubieRU Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks Kaptan. What's their phone number? I might ask my mechanic to call them and ask for guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 SubieRU, I assume your name is Andre? I'm waiting to hear back from my subie-tech but from my initial analysis you're essentially converting the clutch setup over to a better setup similar to the legacy non-turbo clutch. So, the release bearing needs to clip to the release lever. The release lever itself is a different part number... So I will say that the release lever needs to be switched in order for the release bearing in the kit to work properly. According to my local subaru parts counter, the release lever for the non-turbo lgt is 30530AA021, and the two clips required are 30539AA000 (need two) I'll be adding these notes to my e-store description as I was under the impression the stock release lever could be reused. 2012 Forester XT.

PLTek Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 So if/when this is confirmed, you will be looking at another 60-65USD for these parts to make the clutch fit. I plan on swapping out a clutch as well but not for a month or so. Regardless, the group buy is on until the end of January. Thanks everyone PS PLtek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Also, I appologize for replying in your thread PL, I was just replying to help SubieRU and others. Personally I was under the impression myself the stock release bearing would work but I was misinformed. I need to get my clutch done asap so I can get some more knowledge on what exactly is required. Thanks, Rob 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

SubieRU Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Here is an update on the installation of SB2-HD00: the stock release bearing does work! I got the clutch installed yesterday (using all components of the kit except RB 833) and it works fine. Feels much better than the stock clutch; however, I am not sure whether it will last long under a significant stress. I run incomplete stage 2: Cobb AP, Cobb UP/DP, Perrin drop-in air filter.

MDTURBO Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Glad to hear that the stock bearing it will work, and did work out for you. I'll update my website to ensure that this is noted. The ACT pressure plate is better than stock, but only by ~200lbs of pressing force. I am looking into an RPS setup with a 2400lb pressure plate that will be able to hold more power at the flywheel. For right now though, the ACT SB2-HD00 is really the only setup I know of thats been tried and tested. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

PLTek Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 OK, now that this is settled, the GROUP BUY GOES ON !!! Again, I am no expert on clutches but the ACT CLutch is a lot closer to what you need in terms of handling the power in stage 2. It all also depends on how you drive. There is alos the 6 puck clutch from ACT that will handle 401ft/lb. that i can get for you. I have not looked into exedy clutches and flywheels but I think that as long as they are the ones for the RS, they will work. The above ACT is a safest bet right now Thanks PS PLtek,llc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sh!t, I did it again. Sorry about that pszydlik. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
