I'm going to turbo my D16z6 with about 10-12 psi, Is it best to get a new clutch or can a stock one handle this? I've got some saying oem would hold, but others say upgrade.

 

I'm sure you could run that clutch for a while but it will wear much faster than usual. Blow that clutch to hell THEN upgrade.

 

i would upgrade. the stock one would probably hold for a while, but it just wouldn't be as good.

dunno. never owned a turbo d-series.

hey thats actually good advice.

 

it all depends on how u drive it if you do a bunch of launches and hard driving it'll eat your clutch up in no time.

 

Prolly last as long as your stock internals. . I'd beat it to hell then get another one, when i NEED it.

just upgrade

 

its gonna be a bitch to drop tranny and change clutch. You will have a better chance during the build, i would replace it now.

replacing a clutch isn't tough at all(1hour-hour and a half tops)...depends if you are mechanically inclined or not. I would use the stock clutch for a while then upgrade, or upgrade from the D-B maybe I am just a D **** Good Luck with your decision

 

Its true, took me and my dad about 4 hours to change my clutch on my sentra the first time. 2nd time about 2 hours flat. This is with no previous experience.

OEM will hold for now but dont be rough on it while you save enough money for clutch and lighter flywheel (might as well, kill 2 birds, one stone). This will save you time incase you want to do it later

 

What's the point of turbocharging your car if you can't put the power to the ground? Get a good aftermarket clutch. I have an ACT xtss and it's been holding awesome for a year and I beat my car hard.

intentionally destroying a part of your transmission..
just upgarde your clutch, do it right the first time.

Not if you don't have a lift and air tools. If you do, try 4x that.
