I'm doing an engine swap and I found out i need a new clutch. My pressure plate and flywheel are still in good condition, and I want to keep prices as low as I can, so I've been trying to find a clutch disk that can hold at least 350 whp. Right now, I'm only pushing 185 whp, but later on I want to build it up to about 300 whp.

Basically what I'm trying to ask is where can I find JUST a clutch disk that can hold 350+ whp and still be DD-able? I'm pretty sure right now it has a Findanza kit in it.

 

look on ebay or ur local auto parts store they might have them

 

this is a troublesome task..!

first off, you really should avoid mixing a used pressure plate with a new disk. almost always.

secondly, the springs on the pressure plate have as much or more to do with the horsepower (really torque...) rating of a clutch. the clutch disk features are really more about abuse tolerance and engagement quality.

if you think my advise is bogus (and your welcome to think so), i think clutch masters offers individual components.. i would try to contact one of the venders in the http://hondamarketplace.com and see what they offer.

 

if you are planning for big horsepower, get a used clutch or jsut the disk for less then hundred bucks off somebody, then start saving for a really nice clutch/flywhee combo for future use.

 

how much whp do you guys think a stock clutch can hold?

 

i guess you're talking stock B-series..?

without slipping at max torque... i'd estimate 30% over stock. of course you could probably drive without any trouble on a motor with 100% over stock peak, as long as you kept the RPMs resonable. but if you pushed it, you'd start to slip and the clutch would wear out real quick!

 

no, D series. 92 civic si tranny

 

your really better off buying a clutch kit and re serfacing you fly wheel or replaceing.

clutch masters does offer just disks, but just becuase your disk can handle 350hp, doesnt mean the pressure plate can,

do it right the first time.

 

i know my pressure plate can handle that much hp because it came in a stage 4 kit that was rated for somewhere around 500 hp or something close. the reason i want JUST the disk for right now is because i need my car back up and running for school. it'll only be a temp thing. i plan on getting an entire new kit when i build my spare motor.
