and i was just wondering which would be best for a clutch it will not be a daily driver or a track car just something fun i been looking around but cant seem to figure out what is best for my set up if anyone has any info let me know
thanks

 

i also want a high effort for the pedal and want the clutch to grab pretty quickly if that helps

 

I'm gonna do the Exedy stage 1. I'm curious about an Action product, but ALL M0T0R hasn't got back to me on it

 

doin a ls vtec wat would be a good clutch solid act street solid disk or 6 puck? running a 10 or 11 lb act flywheeel

 

I have an Exedy Stage 2 3 puck cerametallic with a Exedy 9.5lb chromoly flywheel. If I had to do it again I think I might have gone with a 7lb flywheel. Clutch grabs hard and holds 228ft lbs which is about the same as the stage 1 but a puck clutch and cerametallic perform much different and much better IMO than a full organic street type disc.

 

Non-oe style clutches are complete overkill for remotely stock motors. An exedy stage 1 will be good for anything even up to 350+ whp.

Exedy makes phenomenal clutches. My room mate a few years back ran an OE replacement exedy for years on a 300whp d-series. The whole time I knew him though he had a 454whp b18b1 and used an exedy stage one the whole time. Never had a problem the 6 months I knew him. Drove it daily. Even had air conditioning, LOL. Something that's pretty necessary in Arizona.

 

I beg to differ, some clutches cannot take abuse simply because of the materials they are made of. Sure they will hold the power doing a pull but if you are drag racing where you have to preload and launch or are road racing where you use it a lot and get a lot of heat they slip, smell, and become inconsistent. Hence why I went with the stage 2 over stage 1. Almost the same holding power but how they both perform under certain driving conditions is completely different.

 

Stage 2 what? Stage 2 is something almost totally different depending on one of the many clutch manufacturers you choose.

Stage 2 means nothing unless you mention the manufacturer.

And I agree however, if you drag a lot and abuse your clutch it would benefit you to get one that is a bit over-rated for your power output. However a quality clutch line like exedy should be fine for abuse on its intended power rating.

 

Comp makes a good stage 1 / 2 clutch

I offer Action clutchs as my shop clutch and its pretty much on every car that i service that needs a clutch, or wants a clutch that holds power.

Action offers 7 different stages, after stage 4, you get a puck style clutch, i recommend for your setup a stage 3 or 4 pressure plate with a kelvar disc...oem disc will wear fairly quicker on you.

 

I'm running a competition stage 3 on my all motor setup.. Pedal isn't too stiff, feels/grabs nice.

 

Reading is useless right? Look at the post right above where I clearly state I have an Exedy Stage 2. And I completely agree with you on the stages when people go I have a stage 6 clutch which some manufactures the stage 6 is lesser than a stage 1.

 

Sorry, I confused you for the OP when I quoted you.
