So my LS swap is almost done, all i need to get is a Clutch should i go stock for now till i go LS/V-tec or should i just get a Stage 2 now while im already looking for clutchs? and what would be the best Clutch for my money?

Thanks guys

doing the clutch while the motor is out of the car is always a good idea, it's a million times easier I personally love ClutchMasters, their stage 3 will hold lots of power but still engage nicely and not chatter. I've owned both ACT and CM and I'll never buy another ACT clutch.

 

i say get the clutch now so you won't have to pull the tranny out once again .

 

Yea, if the motors is out, it's plenty easier, I have an exedy oem clutch I bought as a kit that came with a race flywheel. Depending on how much power you have, you might not need a stage three.

 

Thanks guys, well my motor is stock right now im just goin to get the car to where i can drive it as a DD then im goin to go LS/V-tec for awhile and then im goin to go throw the motor and build it a lil then throw 8-12 lbs to it, how much power will a Stage 3 clutch hold up 2? thanks guys

 

Lets start here first. What are you going to be using the car for? Blanket statements and assumptions we really have no clue about anything of your car.

 

Im just goin to use it as a DD and sometimes stomp the **** out of some DSMs. The motor will be Simi Built and 10-15 lbs of boost

 

make up your mind, lol, jk. anyway look at the differences in clutches they usually say how much power they will hold. amount of boost has nothing to do with the power the clutch can handle. 8-15 lbs. of boost does not determine how much power an ls/vtec will make. in other words, set a hp. goal, and then decide on a clutch tha will handle the power that you are expecting to make.

 

lsd makes a good clutch i have one in my crx and havent had a problem yet and its 400hp and there dirt cheap also here is the link to there site
