those with ACPT DS, question for ya

**nhsilversti** · 08-16-2006, 12:54 PM

do any of you have an exedy twin plate clutch, lightened crank pulley and the driveshaft working fine in your car.

i, as some of you know, have been working on an issue with my car not liking the shaft. im grasping at straws here. im only looking for info from those who have this combo installed and working, or from those of you who KNOW FOR A FACT that someone has this combo.

thanks
ted

I'd be interested to know this as well...

Pitcherman · 09-10-2006, 01:29 PM

Specific setup like this will probably be hard to find but good luck and BUMP

Best bet is post in the new ACPT driveshaft thread, and hopefully a current user has some sort of comparable setup.

I had two of the three requirements, the lightened crank pulley (static-x) and the CF DS working great in my STi. Have you tried contacting James at ACPT? His STi is highly modified and it is possible that he has this combination. However, I know he also has a turbo upgrade. But it might be worth a call?

i only have the CF DS and Crank Pulley. sorry. I would like to know if you figure it out though. i would like to go with a lightened flywheel when it comes time.

rdrcr - unfortunatly i am on first name basis with james.

for some reason my car seems to be super sensitive to this mod. as of now i have had the frame checked (ok) and driveshaft angle checked(now corrected). you can read about all the things i have done in the other thread or do a search for posts by me.

so far no one has this setup that i know of.......not saying this IS my problem, more looking to rule it out by finding someone with this setup working.

^^^^^
Unfortunate? It's a good thing that you talk with James, he's a good guy. It is unfortunate that you can't find the problem with your combination.

I have no need to do a search. I was hoping to send you in the right direction. However, you have already been there and it hasn't helped.

Hopefully, either someone that has this combination or in the process of installing this setup so you can get some answers.

Wish I was of more assistance.

unfortunate meaning i call him tttttooooooo much, i would say from the start there has beed 40-50 calls, maybe more

BrewPubeaver · 09-14-2006, 11:30 AM

i have the clucth, and drive shaft.

why do you have the pulley? makes it hard to tune.

what is the issue.

do you have the Perrin rear diff bushings? crossmember bushings? did you hammer out the well a little bit just to make sure there is no way it could rub?

The rear diff & cross member bushings solved the (small) issue I was having, I think they are essential with this mod. Outrigger bushings can't hurt either.
Hammering out the well is too obvious.......i'm sure he is well past that.

well i didnt catch what the main problem was....
