Has anyone tried a xtd con a sohc vtec motor non turbo,my clutch is goin out. It is a 16 year old clutch , I wanna get XTD clutch stage 3 since I hear good reviews about them,but most of the cars are turbo,I wanna get good accel response is 7.5 lb flywheel good ? Will it be hard to drive,I drive my sohc hard that's y I want a a strong clutch but not expensive like act since I plan on swapping or turbo'ing later in fall

i have the exact setup as you want (xtd stg 3 with a fidanza 7.5lb fw)

since i;ve never drove a manual, and put those on the second i swapped from auto, i cant tell you the difference vs oem clutch and fw

but i DD my setup miles a day and the driveability is very easy once you get used to a more sensitive clutch.

i suspect my MPG has went down though since i have a lighter flywheel

btw accel is awesome, i have a stock z6 and its like i unlocked the other half of my engine with a manual and the clutch and flywheel

do u mean ur mpg went down in a good way or bad way ur wasting less gas??

my mpg was less than what some people here say they get with sohc vtecs.

no CEL and replaced my o2 sensor, air/fuel filters, and spark plugs, i havent checked fuel pressure yet but i've come to believe my engine burns more gas because the lighter flywheel doesnt give as much rotational energy as a heavier one would (i would think that aids the engine)

nothing_shocking

I'm pretty sure light flywheels improve mpg because it takes less to turn the motor... I think I saw that discussion on here not too long ago.

well mu sohc kills alot of gas regardless lol my cel is on i have something wrong with the vtec selenoid it says i think wiring or so and my wiring for my 02 sensor

cool thnx so far to revies on non turbo sohcs i think ill get one,but how is the drive ability on them are they easy to daily drive,is it like driving a sports car

It all depends on how you like to drive i drive rough so the stage 4 is perfect for me but i like it either all power or no power there isnt much room for play.
