clutch performance.

Re: clutch performance.
In my experience, with a stock d series, you aren't going to notice a lick of difference by swapping out your clutch. You can change the was the pedal feels but the power isn't there to make a difference. The OEM clutch is perfectly fie.

I'm not sure why you would want an aftermarket one if you arent planning on modifying it extensively (at least head work). But then again, i always say if it's broken buy a better one, unless i don't have the money.

Re: clutch performance.
Clutches hold the torque so I don't get the performance reference. If they hold the torque then they are doing their job.
It's also been my experience that anyone that asks what is "best" has no clue what they are really asking about.
And the OEM clutch is perfectly fine for what? Where did the OP mention that they weren't modifying anything or that the car is unmodified. Although there is a good chance it's stock, don't assume.
The OP hasn't given you any information to POSSIBLY make that recommendation. I don't recall that he said it was stock. The OP needs to furnish way more information to have the question answered correctly.

Re: clutch performance.
I have been looking into it but shouldn't I install internals first? also, ive heard that the intake, exhaust, and headers would compliment the turbo well by producing better air flow. was i given the wrong information?

Would require to much "spoon feeding" if he's asking those types of questions. if for some reason you NEED a new clutch just go OE replacemant like the exedy OE

Re: clutch performance.
You cannot use that header with a turbo. Research Research Research. The search button up top is your friend. Also read the FAQ's at the top of this gen civic forum, and links provided.

Re: clutch performance.
Just to let you know the Search is broken, for real, and the higher ups have a ticket in to fix it. And that search field in the upper right is kinda lame, even when it worked.

Re: clutch performance.
Thank you, that is exactly why i am on here, im trying to do as much research as possible to get exactly what i want out of my honda. Performance is a MUST for me. Please note that i did not buy any of these mods, they were on the car when i got it. I just want to make sure that i am doing everything possible to take the next step in the right direction.

D series motors don't have much to offer in performance unless you turbo them. Motor swaps are common on these cars because of how simple they are. It's only a matter of having a few grand available to buy parts.
That would be my suggestion, save up for a swap. GSR motors are commonly available and are a nice jump in power and torque over the D motors.
That explains a lot.
