Ok i'm about to put a clutch in my b18b1 with gsr tranny and want your opinons on witch clutch you perfer and why?

 

OEM because the quality is above 90% of the aftermarket clutches you will consider buying.

Exedy is always quality because they make honda's oem clutches under the name daiken clutch company.

Spec clutches are good but pricey.

Action clutches are also good.

Not to many others I would consider.

You dont have anything out of the ordinary. If you want a step up from oem go with an exedy stage 1. If you really want to go crazy exedy stage 2. Personally a stage 2 is way to much for your setup, but it would work. It would just take some getting used to.

 

ACT, Exedy, Clutch masters, Competition clutch..

All of the above i have heard nothing but good experiences.. I have personal experience with ACT & Competition have had those clutches in a couple of my cars with zero problems.

Try searching.. There are a bunch of threads about ''which clutch, etc''

As far as ebay clutch kits go, it's hit or miss. Just remember you get what you pay for. When it comes to a clutch, i wouldn't ''cheap-out.''

Exedy never made them under the name exedy. They were under daiken clutch company. I dont know how long they made them for honda, but i know they did. That says something about their quality. It may not be up to par with oem when marketed under exedy, but it is better and a lot of other non oem brand replacement clutches you will find.

I dont personally like act because I had a 6 puck disc fly appart. The actual friction material on 4 out of 6 pads just flew off after it was in a track car for 3 races. I dont know whether it was a bad apple or what, but I have always used exedy stage 2 in the same car since then with no problems or complaints.

 

I used a Clutch Masters Stage 1 and 7.5 lb flywheel on my stock B18C1 for 130K miles with no problems. Now I have an Exedy OEM and the same flywheel (replaced friction surface) for the past 25K miles and still no problems. I used the TOB that came with both clutch kits.

 

where did you read this? if you buy a clutch from the dealer or take an oem clutch out of an integra it will be a fuji

lota guys on forums love to say daiken did them but it's not the case....if they did do some post links to when and where. i have yet to see one

 

For me, either exedy stg 1 or exedy OEM. I have had both, and to be honest, they feel great. As of right now, I run the stg 1 exedy street. My buddy runs the OEM exedy. Both are still holding just fine.

 

thanks for all the info. i'm gonna go with the stage 2 exedy clutch because im going to be putting an ls tranny on it when i boost it

 

why? the gsr tranny is great with boost

the stage 2 is also very smart for higher torque apps such as turbos. you'll waste any organic clutch driving hard with 200ft/lb

they just won't take repeated abuse

 

"EXEDY Clutch Europe Ltd opened in 1990 with the objective of supporting both the OE market and the aftermarket. We are the market leader in our field as OE clutch suppliers to all Japanese car manufacturers."

Taken from exedy europes website. That many be where people including myself get it from.

I guess its touchy, but honda is obvioiusly a japanese car manufacturer. Just my $.02

 

where does any of this say they were the oem supplier for the acura integra?

they do supply a TON of oe clutches and are a very good brand, however, their oe kit for the integra while close, isn't quite oe quality. the TB being the only real area lacking

 

I "personally" never said they specifically supplied integra clutches. Just that they supply clutches for honda. If they supply all japanese automakers with clutches, then they supply honda.

I can easily believe that the quality of the exedy oe kit is less than that of the oe honda kit purely because its about $150 cheaper, but it is of better quality than most other non oem honda oe replacement clutch kits. Just my opinion.

 

Just thinking, you could save some money by buying an exedy oe kit, but spend the extra $50 or so to get an oem honda throw out bearing for piece of mind. Still cheaper than about $300 for the fuji kit. Considering most exedy oe kits for our cars are about $150; its still $100 less for almost the exact same thing if you also buy an oem honda throw out bearing.

 

actually, this is exactly what you do

it recreates the fuji kit for half the price

gripforce was selling the exedy kits for $114 shipped last year

i want to say i stumbled across sites selling real fuji kits for $180, just can't remember where.
