Cool Clutch

Whats the differance between the Exedy Organic Clutch, and Exedy Cerametallic Thin Clutch? Which would be the best for 9-10psi?

OK and i just tried finding out what the differance is between the ACT XACT Streetlite Flywheel, and ACT Prolite Flywheel. they are both the same but the prolite is 243and the streetlite is 216. thanks!

The difference is in the composition of the clutch disk itself. The organic clutch is composed of softer materials vs the Cerametallic which is semi-metalic. It follows the same concept of the different types of brake pads. You have Organic, Semi-metallic, and full metalic. With the organic, you'll have the feeling of the stock clutch, but with will hold up much better with the overstock clamping force of the new pressure plate. The Cerametallic is designed for more punishment. This disk won't wear down as quickly, but being composed of semi-metals, your flywheel will take the beating.

Anyone care to add on?

the difference in those 2 flywheels are the weight. The streetlite i believe is 11lbs, and the prolite is somewhere around 8lbs

organic has a little slippage which is good for daily driving. The cerametallic engages at a certain point.

what i meant by slippage is that when you are letting out the clutch u can slip it a little bit. With the cerametallic u let up the clutch and then bam, it engages. Kinda hard to explain.

Cerametallic is 3-puck. Think of it as being on or off, no in between. The organic feels more like stock but can hold 69% more torque.

with a new fly wheel and clutch you might be puttin more stress on your tranny as well, but if you're just going to be running 9 to 10 psi the organic should be enough more added torque over stock.

the surface of the flywheel will just wear quicker. Same concept follows full metalic brake pads---> warp and wear the rotors much quicker. With a forged aftermarket flywheel, wear wouldn't be something to worry about.

An extremely light flywheel is horrible to drive with boost. IMO, the 11lb is best for drivability.
