i have a b18b and i have a type-r pressure plate laying around and was wodndering if the type-r has better clamping force.
thanks

Ps: its take 2 because i asked this before and no one could answer my question.

 

come on people i know you know.

 

maybe you should wait more than 15mins at a time for someone to answer your question?

itr is no different than other integra

 

can any one else tell me anything about this???

 

Well considering they're different part numbers, I'd assume somethings different.

 

i know the number are not the same but anyone with first hand experince???

 

The type r pressure plate is a couple of pounds lighter than any stock honda pressure plate. The type r one is between 15 and 17lbs which gives you more torque than the rest.

 

The type r has more clamping force.. Not sure that's it going to be much, due to the fact that it's still an OEM pressure plate.. It will be better then the LS anyway

your wrong... they are the same weight. i have both sitting next to me. they are the same weight.

 

then why you asking dipshit

 

The driveshaft on an ITR transmission is thicker, and a larger pilot bearing is used in the flywheel. This is the ONLY difference.

I'm not trying to be an *** here, but what answer are you looking for?

None of us are mechanical engineers who can tell you the exact clamping force numbers in lbs., and again I can't even think of where to find the actual clamping force ratings for stock Honda clutches.

I would try asking an employee of a clutch company, such as ACT, Exedy, etc. I mean they rate their own aftermarket cluthces at "xx% more clamping force than stock clutch" so you'd have to think they would need to know the raw data for the stockers before claming a % above them, right?

I believe there is a member by the name of "ACT man" or something like that around H-T.

i asked the question before i took apart my car.
i took it apart and weighed them.
i was just telling you guys...
sorry for telling.

seeing as tho you SHOULD replace the pressure plate when you do a clutch job, and you dont want to put a used clutch on a motor your building..................why would you give a expletive?
