ACT Clutch/flywheel on 2006 WRX TR
Does anyone have an ACT clutch/flywheel setup on an 06 TR? If so, how do you like it and how does it feel driving it daily?
I did User reviews and it did not answer my question. |
Had the Act streetlite flywheel and Exedy clutch in the wagon.
You drove that once or twice if memory serves. the act/act won't be much different. Little bit stiffer than stock. |
well which setup? as they have stage 1...and a few 6 pucks...if there is a specific question i can help answer, let me know :)
|
watch getting the 6 puck as I have heard its hard on the whole drive train if its a street car the engagement is very harsh. I just installed the act stage one clutch and light weight flywheel but my trans is getting ppg gears in it at the moment so I haven't drove it with the new clutch.
|
ive heard gears snap nearing 300 + hp. Would just getting a clutch opposed to gears plus the cost of labor, solve my problem or would there still be cause for concern.

would cause more shockload. Just upgrade your gears =) As to the OP i always thought the lighter flywheels would make our cars mis fire? I'd go with a basic stage 1 Exedy Setup. |
I have heard the lighter weight flywheels will make our cars idle hard so I am kinda worried about that since I don't have an E.M. yet but working on that problem. but I hope it dosen't
|
Also Just any fyi The whole ppg install including billet shifter forks is going to cost around 5500 for the whole build. But from what I have herd no problems after that. the axles will snap before the trans will fail.

let me know how it goes am saving my pennys as we speak just a 1500 shy... |
who have you are you getting your gears through??
|
My colleague Hai Nguyen had the ACT 6 puck clutch unsprung with stock flywheel and hated it.
|
aaa yeah thats not to streetable there and the stock flywheel won't hold up to the ceramic clutch very long, it will chew that flywheel up. and the engagement would be so harsh it's not funny. why would he go with an unsprung clutch??

I don't know how close to an ACT Competition Clutch is but I have an Comp Clutch 6 puck sprung setup in my car with ther steel lightweight flywheel. The ceramic disk was a bit rought for street, wife hated it and it was pretty much on/off but it held my ~300whp beautifully. I've just switched to their iron disk 6 puck sprung series and it's a much, much better and still holds the power with no issues.
|
The stage one organic clutch is good to like 350 flb of torque. And it's just a little heaver that a stock feel. That why I opted for that.
|
i will probably do the stage 1 then.
|
i have an 07 sti with act heavy duty clutch and a starlite 8lb flywheel. love it..its not to hard and the shift is perfect
|
just curious, how much would a good clutch cost to put in?
needs to be pretty heavy duty, once my project is done, (which is soon) i'm lookin at 300+whp at least. |
the whp doesn't matter when your looking at a clutch you need to look at the toqurk and as for heavy duty I have a stage one act organic and it's good for 450 ft lb. if it's a street car your better to stay with and organic clutch it will save the drive train. As for a price. I just bought mine with an act light weight fly wheel and it was like 900. but you have a earlier model wrx so it will be cheaper because they changed the clutch to a push style instead of a pull on 06. hope this will help.
