is this clutch kit good or what???

 

comon someone help me...
i need to noe

 

For up to about 200 whp and a little over (guesstimate) it's good... I know two guys that both have that same clutch on their cars (stock LS and light bolt-ons GSR) and they both like it. I'm going to get one for my basically stock (for now) B18b.

*edit - ebay is the cheapest place to get one, you can get a brand new one for $234 shipped I think it was (last time I looked was about a week ago so prices should still be the same)

 

how about it for a b16???

 

i got it on my JDM B16 XSi with ITR flywheel and some bolt on's and it works and feels GREAT!!!

 

well ill put it this way, exedy makes the clutch discs for many companies such as act and cm, and i believ a few others as well. it is printed on the front of every act.

yes, they are great clutch kits, however i would reccomed the stg. 2 much better performance great pedal feel, and its only a little bit more exp.

 

A stage 1 will hold upto 185 ft lbs without sacrificing its longevity or performance...

In a b16, you'll be fine. Its a great clutch...I have one in my car mated to a Fidanza.

 

Stage 2 is kind of too stiff unless you have a high hp n/a or forced induction, that's what my brother has in his soon-to-be-turbocharged GSR and it's kind of stiff compared to stock.

 

its actually alot like stock i have insalled many of the stg. 2 3puck and i think its about the best pedal feel out there.

but then again i absolutely hate the stock wet sponge feel, which is close to what u get the with any stg 1 system. keepin mind im not talking about performance here just pedal feel.

It seems like there are a lot of Exedy clutch kits for around 120-130$ shipped. Are ones like this legit or is it better to spend the extra $100 and get a clutchmasters kit?

I need to order one soon I think I blew a clutch spring and my car just got towed into the shop today.

 

The cheap Exedy kit $130 is a stock replacement kit. The Stage one $230 is the full face organic race kit. And the Stage two $??? is the 3 puck kit.

 

I hate puck clutches on a street car... Unless you are making a very decent amount of torque...

the stage 2 chatters a lot if you try to start off "normal", meaning light throttle at around 1-1.5k rpm. if you start off a little higher and hit the gas harder it smooths out quite a bit. i don't know how that compares to the act 6 puck, which also seems to be pretty popular for turbo'd cars, but the chattering gets annoying sometimes.

 

is the The cheap Exedy for stock replacement kit better than honda oem clutch or is it's the same.

 

It's the same pretty much. Has the same torque holding numbers.

I've been through 2 of their clutches...they hold well, but if you're abusive, you'll shear off a chunk of metal around the edge of the marcel springs. I think both times it could have been attributed to my tranny starting to die, but still...they broke.

 

I got the same one. Was really nice when I was N/A. Soon as i boosted tho it went to hell in a couple weeks.

 

arent stage 2 clutches, 3 or 4 puck? Cuz I heard that 3 and 4 puck clutches suck with drivability.

 

Yes, stage 2 are 3 puck.

you're talking about the stage 1, right? cuz i have the stage 2, and im in the process of installing the turbo right now. i hadn't really heard anything bad about exedy before, so i went with the stage 2 clutch. really hoping it lasts, cuz it wasnt too cheap.

but anyway, the 2 people i know with stage 1's have pretty stock engines (ls and gsr), but they really abuse their cars. the gsr has had the clutch for about a year and has no problems whatsoever.

 

I have a LS with an intake, exhaust, and header, bolt-on mods. And I had the Exedy Stage 1 Clutch kit for about 6 months, and it doesnt compare to my old clutch, ACT Stage 1. I would recommend it over the Exedy Just my 2 cents.

 

Just installed my Stage 1 Exedy organic clutch kit along with a CM 11.5lb fly.

I actually like the pedal feel, about twice as stiff as stock (mine was pretty damn soft) I also wanted a flywheel which was lighter but not too light so saving about 8.5lbs over stock feels perfect for me.

As for the clutch, it bites well so far and I like it a lot better then the OEM replacement I had before fromt he previous owner. This whole combo was paired with my 98 USDM ITR tranny and damn I love the whole combo.

Overall, I'm super happy with the whole clutch/fly/tranny combo on my GSR right now. I would recommend it to someone who lives in a trafficy area.
