I have a 96 Civic lx and i did a swap to a JDM B18C (GSR) engine with a S80 tranny w/ MFactory Helical LSD, MFactory 4.785 final drive, ACT Prolite flywheel, and Exedy stage 1 clutch, but still using the OEM pressure plate. Now the pressure plate just took a dump on me, and I'm trying to figure out what a good pressure plate to put in would be. Ideas???

 

what kind of power are you making and what kind of driving do you do with the car?

 

right now its just the 178 crank hp...i plan on some semi-competitive drag racing in the future, and road racing for sure

 

anyone? im taking it to the shop tomorrow, so im hoping to get ideas before then...

 

get a stage one, and NO heavy duity ****! my boy tried that on his setup and p/p and clutch were too thick

spec makes a nice one

 

yeah, i think im gonna go with an Exedy stage 1, the guy thats building it said he had the exedy stage 1 in his car and it was good til he got over 350whp

 

a stock one can handle (exagerated) 1000 hp if u drive it easy. slicks and axles ill smoke stock clutches all day with my mild azz ls vtec... if u plan on slicks and slipping the heck out of ur clutch nothing stock will last. or close to stock. id replace ur clutch while going in there... my 2 cents.
right now i have and exedy clutch with pp and lightweight flywheel and due to some very mild 1/4 mile racing the clutch slips on the street.

 

yeah, im going with an Exedy stage 1 kit...i went into to shop today and there was literally two big pieces of the pressure plate that had broken off and were flying around, so my flywheel is getting resufaced too. and also the teeth on 3rd are rounded off, so gotta replace that too.

but yeah, besides that my tranny is rock solid, and my car frickin hauls for having a stock engine still
