If you don't boost, then itll wear just like stock.
If you rag on it, then your clutch will last exactly 3 hours, 14 min and 6 seconds.

My friend in a turbo Si at 1bar could hit the gas hard in 2nd gear with the clutch full engaged in gear, and the clutch would start to slip and smoke. Haha, it smelled so bad!

depends on how you drive but on street tires quite a long time.
ON slicks - one run then you will want to change it.

Re: How long will a stock clutch last with a turbo? (Snafu-Si)
The reason everyone is probably having different 'clutch lifes' with boost is due to mileage. I'd be interested to see the kinds of miles each clutch has seen BEFORE boost and then how long it lasted AFTER boost. My guess is that the clutches that have lasted a while post-boost had fewer miles pre-boost. That probably goes without saying but... well... I said it anyway
So how many miles did everyone have on their stock clutch BEFORE and AFTER boost?

I just put a new stock clutch and a lightened and resurfaced stock flywheel on my civic. I'm hoping to get the summer out of it with boost. I know I'll have to watch it though.

What is this crap?
Re: How long will a stock clutch last with a turbo? (97CivicFerio)
i bet driving habits have an equally large impact on clutch life post-boost. power shifting probly toasts it.

Well I for sure do not powershift on purpose! Sometimes I let the revs get up a little too much before fully releasing the clutch going into the next gear, but it is unintentional.

I have a 97 civic LX with a greddy kit running 4.5 psi on stock clutch. Befor the clutch I had 90,000 miles! Now I have 95000 and it is time to pass the stock on to the gods because it is Fried!
Yeah sure i can get around town but as soon as that punk *** stickerd, ugly *** painted, chrome wheel, gehtto booming bitch pulls next to me, it is on and that dumb @*!% is going to get schooled by a four LX! I am sure as hell going to lay a whoopin! Why? the new ACT!

Re: How long will a stock clutch last with a turbo? (Snafu-Si)
You know... my stock clutch was still running strong when I passed it up... I thought it was slipping... it turns out my motor mounts were shot and that's what was causing the grip/slip/grip/slip feeling I was getting... from my tires! Car had 19K on the clock when the Greddy kit went on, and about 28K when I replaced it w/ the ACT. The stock clutch sits in my closet now--it's not too bad! No glazing, no hotspots nothing. Honestly though, I drive very gently on the clutch... very few hard shifts, launches are gentle (like taking off from a stoplight), properly rev-matched downshifts and upshifts. Only time I jump on it is when the clutch is fully engaged. I say stick w/ the stock unit till you're positive it's the clutch that's slipping.
