Suggestion for a failing clutch replacement
My car is at 113,000 km. Started to hear some noise when using my clutch recently. (Could just be something simpler? TOB?) Since theres a chance im going to have replace it, I figured I could upgrade it.
Im happy with the OEM feel (I have nothing to compare it to), but I was planning on getting FI. My eye is currently set on the twin screw by sprintex: http://www.sprintex.com.au/frsbrz/ or something around that range of power. I've read around that the OEM clutch can handle small amounts of boost. I Have a modified exhaust, with the exception of the front pipe. Any suggestions? |
Do the Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit. It is identical to OEM, but with a stiffer pressure plate. The OEM clutch should last forever with street use, but the TOB is the week link, so upgrade that to the new TOB with the white dot on it, and consider upgrading the clutch fork to a Verus forged fork. The stage 1 kit can hold 12psi with E85, which is what I have. When I replaced my TOB (see my build), I could have kept using my clutch because it had plenty of life left at 75k miles.

Sounds good. Do you have a link to that?

I second an Exedy stage 1. It feels like the stocker but about 10 percent stiffer. Just enough to feel different, and know it actually does feel stiffer not just placebo effect. I am in the 250 WTQ neighborhood and it holds fine...I can take off in second/its just as quiet as stock/great driveability. PTuning at one point said they were pushing almost 300 WTQ on their shop car with it.

Something like this?

We would definitely recommend the Exedy Stage 1. Its a great clutch for the money, and has great pedal feel.
