If you aren't making significantly more power than stock, the OEM unit is perfectly fine. It's a good opportunity to install a lightweight flywheel, however.

i have a JDM B16A with exedy stage 2 and it gives a "stiffer" feel which i like... makes my shifting more positive a feels better... a fidanza 8lb flywheel with the exedy stage 2 is hard to beat.

Whining, like screeching metal or something of the like? Because I had that when I swapped my engine. Yes, I was impatient and just wanted the engine in the car without waiting for the clutch kit to come; mistake.
When I took the transmission out, the clutch plate was worn down past the pads, smooth, and the springs on it had been hitting the flywheel bolts and smoothing themselves out substantially. I would venture a guess that your clutch is in fact going out. Just go for the Exedy Stage 1 Organic replacement, new throwout bearing (as mentioned before, is included in most kits), and a lightweight flywheel.
Oh, a shortshifter could also be in order for you, while you're under your car. I really like mine.
