D16 racing clutch

im looking for a stage 2 or 3 clutch

or if you know of any cheap brand I can look for.

An old saying is: "Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Pick two."

Personally, I have never heard anything bad about ACT. I use a 6 puck sprung hub, paired with the lightened flywheel. It's a great way to go. They fun in the 450 to 550 dollar range on most Honda's I believe.

I would also look into fork and throw out bearing. (if your application uses them, IDK)

Thanks

ACT i tried it before and like it right now im running with stage 2 clutch from XTD with an 8 pound flywheel and its ok i like too

It should be mentioned that sprung hubs are preferred for street driven cars.

Sprung hub?

Notice the springs in the center of the hub.

whats the purpose for the springs i seen some with 4 others with 6 ect...

Technical answer: The clutch plate or driven member consists of a round metal plate attached to a splined hub. The outer portion of the round plate is covered with a friction material of molded or woven asbestos and is riveted or bonded to the plate. The thickness of the clutch plate and/or facings may be warped to give a softer clutch engagement. Coil springs are often installed in the hub to help provide a cushion against the twisting force of clutch engagement. The splined hub is mated to (and turns) a splined transmission shaft when the clutch is engaged.

My answer: The springs ease the engagement. Instead of a quick snapping engagement, the springs allow for a soft, slower engagement, similar to a stock clutch. With out a sprung hub, every time you release the clutch pedal it will engage INSTANTLY. Making every time you use first gear a "launch." So if the car is track only, get a "non-sprung hub" if it will be driven on the street, get a "sprung hub."

If you call (661) 940-7555 the guys at ACT will explain it a little better than me I am sure.

Noender didn't you have a clutch and flywheel you we're selling?[b]
