i was wondering what stage is what for a street clutch..how much does each stage hold up in horsepwer. thanks for the help

 

stages are for video games...each one is different. It would be better to ask the question i make X hp, has anyone had good luck with an aftermarket clutch to do race/dd/auto-x/track only their car.

 

well technically clutches hold torque. depends on what kind of numbers youre making.

 

i have a stage 2 exedy

 

ic..is it street or pro though? hows it working for you and how much power can it hold?

 

works great, still street able, and i know its good for at least 200 crank hp.

 

When looking at clutches, you don't look at HP, you look at the torque of the car. Most brand names list the amount of torque a particular clutch can hold.

 

Stage 1 = Horsepower Rating: 215 HP / Torque Capacity: 202 ft/lbs

Stage 2 =Horsepower Rating: 252 HP / Torque Capacity: 239 ft/lbs

Stage 3 =Horsepower Rating: 320 HP / Torque Capacity: 278 ft/lbs

Stage 4 =Horsepower Rating: 365 HP / Torque Capacity: 311 ft/lbs

now this is based for a 94-01 acura integra gsr and the clutches are F1 racing (gripforce) i got the stage 3 for my gsr and man does it grab, spin threw 2nd gear like crazy

ive got a stage 2 Exedy and its streetable...ive got an Exedy 8 pound flywheel paired with it and it helps alot...

 

exedy stage 1 here. I liked how it was during the break-in period, but i wouldn't mind something with a tiiiny bit more bite. However, my friend threw a stage 2 in his and it's too much action....wish there was a happy medium.

 

i had a 6 puck unsprung disk with a type r flywheel and pressure plate on a b20vtec/b16 tranny. the torque was crazy! its basically an on/off clutch. not much room for feathering. it was an awesome clutch but man did traffic suck. for daily driving i would stick with a exedy stage 2. it was a great clutch and had some bite to it

exedy stage 2 great for daily driving? it fucken sucks for driving in traffic cuz of the chatter. you can't start off lightly like you need to in stop and go traffic.

on that note, anybody want a lightly used exedy stage 2 clutch? 7k miles on it, looks almost brand new (pics can be provided).

what about those tegs out there with like 500+hp?
i didn't know clutch hold torque. now i do. :

 

just go look on ebay for clutches that hold up to 500+ hp you just have to look lol

 

stage 3

 

im usin a ebay stage 2 clutch paired with a zoom lightweight flywheel

 

each company rates their "stages" at different torque holding capacity's. if you're making over 500whp, you better look into a twin disk if you want it to hold.

 

haha...yeah but your teg sucks!...lol...sup joey?

 

yo whats up lindon, lol psh my econobox is faster than yours, and to the OP get a lightweight flywheel if you are changing the clutch, you won't regret it

youd have to switch to a twin disc setup and spend like $1000-1400 on the clutch alone.

spec 6 puc sprung/w itr flywheelworked out great aswell
