Stage 4 6-Puck Ceramic Clutch Kit

The Competition Clutch Stage 4 Ceramic Sprung Clutch Kit is engineered for demanding performance applications, particularly those involving forced induction or nitrous oxide. The clutch features a six-puck, torque-sprung disc constructed with ceramic pads, providing an aggressive initial engagement while maintaining more streetable manners compared to an unsprung puck design. Competition Clutch rates this Stage 4 kit at approximately a 250% increase in torque capacity over stock, making it an ideal choice for high-horsepower builds using turbochargers, superchargers, or nitrous systems. The system utilizes a larger 250mm pressure plate and clutch disc, an upgrade from the OEM 230mm components, which translates to increased surface area for better grip, improved heat management, and more consistent holding power under load. This 1620 Series kit, identified by SKU COC-8037-1620, is a comprehensive package that includes a performance pressure plate, the six-puck ceramic sprung disc, a throwout bearing, a pilot bearing or bushing, and an alignment tool, ensuring all necessary components for a complete swap are provided. It is specifically designed to be compatible with K20A2, K20Z1, and K20Z3 transmissions. Installation of this clutch requires a break-in period of approximately 300-500 miles. During this time, it is recommended to avoid full-throttle launches and high-RPM clutch dumps. Shifting should be done with light to moderate throttle to allow the disc to properly seat with the flywheel and pressure plate surfaces, ensuring stable engagement and longevity. For optimal performance and longevity, a proper break-in procedure is crucial. This clutch kit is compatible with the following vehicle applications: 2002-2006 Acura RSX (Base & Type-S) and 2001-2005 Honda Civic Si & Type R, as well as 2006-2011 Honda Civic Si & Type R models equipped with K20A and K20Z engines.
