I have a N/A 02 Nissan Sentra SE-R (5spd.) and I am looking at replacing the stock clutch and flywheel. My throwout bearing has taken a shit so now I'm looking to upgrade. I am leaning towards the ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Kit w/ 6-Puck Race Disc with the Fidanza Lightweight Billet Aluminum Flywheel (11 lbs.). The JWT Clutch and Flywheel Combo sounds like a good deal.

depends what power you have, i had 395rwhp and i used ACT 6 puck unsprung good for 450ft lbs, was overkill then, and now i have 280rwhp setup, and its waaay overkill. unless you have crazy power, its not really needed IMO, not sue if youve looked into unsprung or not, but for drivability, i wouldnt get one.

 

For a FWD with stockish HP, the ACT HD organic will be a nice upgrade. I'd use it on a small turbo setup as well.

 

I'm putting down 160whp 165 wtq, so I guess there's no use for the ACT 6 puck sprung clutch . I just figured since it was only a few buck more why not. You're right though, the 6 puck would be too much.

If and whenever I get a turbo or supercharger set up, seems like the ACT HD organic clutch kit should work well.

 

6 puck is overkill for you Daryl. IMO you should go with the ACT Heavy Duty Organic

 

That's what I'm thinking Now I gotta pick a flywheel upgrade.
Anyone know how much labor would ruffly be to install the clutch and fluwheel? I'm just trying to get a ball park figure. I might tackle the job myself with the help of a buddy.

 

probably around 4-5 hours, although i have done some clutch jobs on FWD that paid upwards of 7. (multiply by shops hourly charge of course)

 

I decided to go with the JWT Clutch and Flywheel Combo. Thanks for the feedback guys!
