I've got the B18 LS/VTEC about ready to go in the car and now I'm wondering if I enough clutch. The engine has 11.2CR, Skunk Stage2 cams, Skunk2 Intake manifold, Skunk2 cams gears, SMSP adjustable length header, 62mm TB, Hondata ECU. I think it will put out close to 200 WHP by the time I'm done tuning it. I have a new ITR clutch and pressure plate I was going to put on. Is that enough or should I go to something a little heavier duty?

 

I would atleast upgrade to an ACT HD pressure plate... It'll hold back a little more than an ITR clutch... Feel like spending some money (~$1300 drop one of these Tiltons in, hehe)

 

i don't think the ITR clutch would hold up for too long. Try to look into ACT or Clutch Master.

i have a Clutch Master stage 4 brand new never been mounted onto the flywheel for $320 shipped. If you're interested hit me up.

BTW how much are those SMSP headers go for?

Thanks guys, I am just a little worried that if I put the swap in there with the ITR clutch that I'll be pulling out the trans and replacing the clutch in 6 months...

I see where the Exedy organinc is only $265 shipped with bearing and alignment tool from clutchcityonline.com(I think that was it).

The SMSP sells for around $850, the adjustable one is about $100 more than the standard one....I'm looking forward to some tuning with the adjustable primaries, secondaries and collector to see how much of a difference it will make.

 

how long does it take to get them?

 

just wanted to say thats ganna be a kick *** setup post some times soon!

 

The exedy organic should do fine, or if you want something a little more extreme then the tri-puck should do.

 

Try out a clutchmasters or act. Tilton, I think, is a little wild for your set up.

 

The headers take approx 4 months to get as they are made 1 at a time...but it will be worth it.
