Best Single Clutch Disc for Launch and TrackDays
Hello. I have to change the clutch of my Evo 5. I use the car for 1/4 mile launch and trackdays. The engine is:
2.0L Forged,Cams,Exhaust 3",E85,and stock turbo(upgrade for a 25g soon) with a 2 bar pressure and 540nm of torque. Look around to 500hp with a new turbo.
Which clutch for this Specs ?? Alcon, ACT, Exedy żż??
Thanks !!!

I have an ACT extreme clutch kit with a 6 puck disc and a prolite flywheel on my evo 8 and i love it,great modulation and soft engagement(after a bit of practice) and good launching (1.7 60ft) so far,also grip is outstanding,i'm pushing 400tq at the wheels on a stock evo 9 turbo and so far it's taking the abuse like a champ with no other problems.I haven't done any track days on it so i don't have any experience on that front,however there are a couple of roads that i frequent quite a bit that allow very spirited driving and heel and toe with this set up is awesome,just my $.02.

Thanks !!! The ACT 6 puck is a good option for me,but I need to know if anyone has experiences on the duration of the piece with heavy use.
Any experiences with a Competition Clutch stage 4 ?? I read some not so good experiences ż?
Thanks and sorry my english !!

pros and cons of using spring center:
pros= quiet, smoother, less driveline shock
cons= doesnt handle hard launch well. springs can break clutch apart. also the extra weight of springs wont allow good high rpm shifting.
pros and cons of solid center disc:
pros= shift great, more durable for track launch.
cons= noisy during deceleration, can greatly accelerate wear to input splines. more shock to driveline.

plus they are out of stock. was quoted mid november for next batch, you know how that can be delayed. especially with state of japan.
plus its almost cost of exedy twin which we know is good clutch.

I would recommend this clutch for anyone that's under 500WHP with maybe 450TQ. I would shift at 8,500 and it never gave me any issues at first... It worked good for me for a few months for me and then I completely destroyed it... It wasn't a manufacture defect I blame my power level, the clutch was not made to handle that much.
It did drive like a dream though when I was just driving it on the street. Very "grippy" and easy to launch on. Personally if I didn't plan on going higher then 500 on my car i think it would of lasted a lot longer

you really should consider something like an exedy twin. but if you must use single for what I assume is budget reasons, then most brands 6 puck with beefed up pressure plate work well. pass on after market fly. stock is best. already light. aftermarket are usually chrome-moly which has lower coefficient of friction over cast steel.
