Hello everyone!!!Im new to the site but not new to the capri world    My xr2 project is slowly coming along and its time for a new clutch. Im looking for opinions on the best cluch out there for the capri. I plan on my car being aroud 200 horspower and need a cutch that can handle at least that. Is anyone running a ACT, Centerforce or LUK clutch??? Also im in much need of the famous "Rocket-Chip" so rocketman, what do I have to do to get my ecu chipped? Thanks ALOT!!

I'm running a ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate with a Super Street disk. Never had it slip even with a tbird turbo at 17psi...

I had an eBay clutch from a company called XTD - its an OEM style pressure plate with a pretty decent clutch disk, that held up pretty well as a performance stock clutch. They're pretty cheap too, I'd recommend them if you're on a budget.

I did buy a really cheap clutch kit on ebay - I forget the brand if it even had one, it was ~$60 - it slipped like crazy even at stock boost levels. Stay away from a clutch like that.

As far as a Rocketchip goes, see www.werbatfik.com/ecu.htm and shoot an email to rocketman[AT]werbatfik.com ; I'll get you chipped in no time!

well im running a full faced ACT organic double sprung disc, and a centerforce 2 pressure plate and mine eats tires, and has never slipped...

im also making real close to 200hp and have had a best time of 13.6 at 100mph...
if you go with a unsprung disk like a 4 puck, your clutch will be an on / off switch and be very touchy, and hard to deal with in traffic...

 i would suggest getting a centerforce 2 if you can find it.. also i have a centerforce 2 disk if you want it.. ill give it to ya if you pay to ship it...Joe, rci customs....

Sweeeet. Looks like i'll be looking into a ACT. Rci, any reason why your running a combo of clutch/preasure plate?? If the centerforce disk will work with a act preasure plate Id be more then happy to pay for shipping. Rocketman i'll be shooting you a e-mail ASAP!!! Thanks alot guys, im working on some pics so I can show you guys my project. I think you'll be proud

there ya go thats what my clutch pressure plate looks like....joe

[rcicustoms]

i tried it, and it worked great. i dunno i like to frig with shit....
oh oh and to say i got a hybrid turbo and a hybrid clutch....LOL

yea, its actually the disc that came off the 323gt that the P P in the picture came with....

its not brand new, but if you clamp it with a new thickness PP wether act or centerforce it will hold 200 hp and then some... this will just save ya an extra 150.00 or so to put elsewhere in your car ...

but now your locked in, and ya gotta post some new pics...LOL

be good ...Joe
