FP Red Turbo & ACT HDSS Clutch
Hey guys, I've searched the forums and cannot find much information on this. Since the red is relatively new there isn't many people who have experience with this.
A few months back I purchased a brand new ACT HDSS clutch for my evo with no plans of upgrading to the red (it wasn't out yet) but just settling for a regular IX turbo or a Green. I haven't installed the clutch - it's brand new.
However, with the recent success of the red I've decided to go with one in the next few months.
Ok well, my question is: Will this clutch work with the red turbo on meth (approx. 30 psi). I know the ACT is rated for 497 ft.lbs at the flywheel but will the red eclipse this?
I really hate to have to sell the clutch and go with a different one, but I guess I can do that. It will put me a few months back on my project but I'll do what needs to be done.
*NOTE*
This car will NOT be launched very much if any at all. I do not drag race the evo. It is mainly a track car / fun street driver.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jared

Awesome! Thanks for the helpful information. I would like to have had a Twin Disc but funds just don't allow it right now. I guess I'll rock this HDSS and maybe it will last a year or two until I can upgrade way down the road.
Thanks for the helpful insight. So I'm under the impression that limited launching would even be alright? Just for reference I've owned my evo for nearly a year and launched it twice.
How is high RPM shifting with the FP Red turbo and ACT HDSS?

Mine is on the Red with the ACT HDSS clutch, it holds fine. I'm not on meth though and haven't tuned it for anything but pump gas on 25 psi. It holds the 406 whp easily. Also, my friends car made 445 whp on the Red on the stock clutch and it holds fine also. No slip whatsoever.. I'm 95% this clutch will hold this setup easily as long as your good to it.
Hope this helps!

I'd rather go with a twin setup than a super aggressive single. I've ran rough singles over the years and really don't want to go back to one. I'd take some twin disc rattle over insane vibrations and chatter anyday. I come from the LS1/LT1 world and used many clutches (SPEC 4, Ram HD, Textrailla, etc.) that were a PITA.

I hear that man. From my understand the HDSS is suppose to be a very mild, easy to drive docile clutch. I'm looking forward to trying it out. However, I DREAD installing it
Thanks again guys,
Jared
