I'm looking at putting together a B20 swap and I want to replace the clutch and flywheel while the engine is out of the car. I've been looking around at what clutch to use, and I was thinking about and Exedy organic, but I've heard quite a few bad things lately, so that turned me off. Virtually every other clutch out there is $350+, and I just don't see the need to spend that much money for a clutch that will hold 275lb/ft when my b20 will never likely exceed 140lb/ft. I'm not a drag racer, so no 5000rpm clutch dumps are in its future. I probably won't ever do any mods outside of I/IM/H/E. Should I just go with an OE replacement clutch and light flywheel (I'm thinking ACT)?

 

ya, you don't need a $$$ aftermarked clutch if you don't plan on raceing or hammering on your car. A stock one will hold up fine.

 

sure.. an aftermarket one will last u longer and hold on more to the strong every now and then punishement...
u can get a CM stage 3.. i highly recomend it...... grabs strong and never says no..... its around 325 but its well worthed.. and they last a pretty good time

 

I would just get an ACT heavy duty kit.... sure it's expensive, but it'll last a long time and it is very very strong.

 

yeah i know
and it does work
but my personal opinion with friends experience them. i know that clutchmasters its a great clutch!
something keeps ME from buying the ACT... but of course the perfect clutch will be a hybrid of pressure plates, clutches, ...

 

Yes, but stock clutches will last some 40-50k miles. That's like 3-4 years for me, and probably as long as I'll have the car for. **** it, I'll just go with a stocker. Thanks for the input, though.

 

well, while exedy isnt that bad; there warrantys are. i do though know someone that is a dealer and can probably get u a deal. also, i know someone who had an ACT and well, email me if u want pictures of it after about 2months. i can get u his email too if u email me.
