I am currently building my poor mans type R which consists of a B18C Block with some JDM P30 Pistons, GSR Rods, ARP Rod Bolts and Head Studs. Intake, Header, Test Pipe, Exhaust, Throttle Body, S2 Intake manifold, S2S2 Cams, Blox Valve springs and retainers, milled B16 head and a spoon sports head gasket. Now I have an Exedy Stage 1 replacement clutch and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to upgrade to an ACT stage 2 or 3 clutch. Id like some input guys.

 

do it, better to do it now than take it to the track and run 15s cause your clutch is slipping!

 

IMO I would upgrade that clutch.

Should be a pretty torquey setup, and that is how clutches are rated. I would get rid of that Exedy replacement, and go for an Action or even an Exedy stg 2 or 3. Im just not a big fan of the pucked clutches by ACT.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks, I think Im going to go with an Exedy Stage 2. While the motors out of the car I might as well replace the clutch and have less worries about clutch failure
