Wow I wish I would have knew this before what are the exedy twins rated for anyway vs the HD ACT

I got you covered buddy. Call me when you're free or tell Eric to give me a shout.

I think you can find the rebuild kit cheaper then $1000.00, I'm pretty sure we have sold the kits cheaper then this in the past. We currently run an Exedy triple in our car and the pedal pressure is the same as stock and it's holding the 718whp no problem.

We recently put a quartermaster in the 8, this clutch is awesome! I can't wait tell they have one for the X.

Thanks,

Michael

There's a reason ACT's are cheaper. I've had an ACT in my VIII and an Exedy Twin now in my X. I will never get anything other than a twin. Hands down better than the ACT.

And puck clutches...forget it. I don't want to drive on one of those every day. Don't second guess yourself too much.

Evo a Mula -

Did you have DG already do the master cylinder modification? We have been running the stock master plastic master cylinder with the Exedy and haven't had a problem to date. If you do go with an ACT, you might look into this mod due to the increase pressure.

I saw the Evo 8-9 pic in your avatar and did not look at the section. Yes QM has a twim coming out for the X. We are currently doing the review and installation manual for QM for the 8-9.

We will update the thread when we have an official release date.

We got him cover Mike. In the process of doing it now. I have no clue why we didnt do it awhile ago

And the quote i gave him for the rebuild was for everything new. But he does need everything. Just waiting on my friend Marti to get back to me with the Triple Disk conversion.

TTP Engineering · Oct 22, 2009, 10:43 AM

In case anyone did not read. We have the rebuild kit for $525 shipped.

My ACT in my VIII didn't shift as well as the Exedy to be honest, but it held up great. However, in my X it is flawless and I couldn't be happier. I have the stock master, and I keep the restrictor and organic disc so that I'm soft on the transfer case and tranny. Hitting those parts with instant torque like that can be rough, and I could be smoking dope but I have always run the organic street disk to be soft on driveline...they still don't slip.

The Exedy is a higher quality clutch. It should have lasted much longer. I just thought I'd mention my experiences with the ACT.

We got him all taken care of. Threw in that next day for you guys ; )
