anyone know if a stage 1 exedy organic clutch be able to handle a 8psi JRSC on a B16a2?

Do as I CRX I said. Stage 2 or high

1. why supercharge?

2. why stage 2 ? i have a stock clutch on my turbo d16 if i wanna burn rubber it grabs,(maybe not as much as more race types) most teh time im driving regular and it works just fine

seems your car has 63,000 original miles the timing belt should of been changed before if not then change it even if you dont super charge it

as for the clutch, if it's the original clutch in the car since it came from the factory then chances are it wont hold up for long if super charged.

hope this helps

true dat, but he dont necessarily need stage 2 clutch.i like the stock exeddy clutches they work well

stock exedy are a good kit but i find F1racing stage 2 good, I have 1 in my b18c Itr motor ej2 coupe the past year with no problems so far and its not stiff like some other stage 2 clutches i'v used

yeah, supercharge different turbocharge. Supercharge much fast spin with belt at first rpm compare turbocharge wait for spool up at end rpm. but if both high power then high clutch. So My turbo gsr 300hp with stock clutch. If my supercharge then high clutch
