im almost done installing a turbo on my em1, shooting for 250-300 hp. what clutch would u guys recommend? or would a oem on stand to this? this is gonna be my dd for the summer so i dont need a full out racing clutch. but dunno what kind i should look at?

 

An OEM might work for a few pulls, but WILL burn out quickly. If you're looking for a reasonably streetable clutch and not planning ahead for more power in the future, i would suggest the Exedy Stage 2 Cerametallic. I ran that clutch on my daily turbo GSR (315whp/216wtq) for 2 years. After a month or so, it feels like a stock clutch...or so you think. The pedal pressure is firm, but not excessive and the grip is great. I even launched it on slicks a few times without any harmful results. I drove it and launched it on BFG drag radials daily. The clutch allows for preloading without fade and when i pulled it and replaced it (after building another engine for a lot more power), it looked almost as good as the day i put it in. The Exedy Stage 2 definitely gets from me

 

u think tho my oem one will work till i can save enough for the stage 2? i mean as long as i drive decent, and dont launch it?

 

It'll last a while, but don't feel bad once it fries. You also won't be able to tune until you get another clutch. If you put any kind of heavy load on the car, especially at higher speeds, you'll slip the clutch. You may get lucky and get a few rippers out of it, but I would suggest getting rid of the stock clutch as soon as possible

 

ight thanks man, guess ill have to put off driving it a lil while longer and save
