Exedy stage 1 clutch???

[raddys1]

Hello, I'm building my glanza v up from stock, I'm not going mental bhp (only going to take it up to 200)

Anyways it's had a new engine, turbo, decat, cusco lsd and now it's clutch time, I don't want a £350 clutch as I want to retain road drivability, so I have a few choices.. Do I go for just a standard NKK or exedy clutch or I have just seen a exedy stage 1 clutch, a lot of people moaning about the stage 1 so I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle, would a standard clutch hold 170-190 bhp or should I go for the stage 1

Any help much appreciated

Standard Exedy would be fine for 180 - 190 bhp, how long it would last is another question.

Worth a punt though, I had a local customer running 190 bhp and he bought a stock clutch and he didn't come back with any issues.

Mine ran 128bhp for a few months and now been mapped to 163 at the wheels and a good torque figure and throughout it all my exedy stage one clutch has never missed a beat once. its lovely to drive with too. would totally recommend it.

Perfect, thanks guys, also I have heard about aftermarket clutch release bearings being a problem before (noisy) any experience with that problem anyone

I'd take him up on this, 3 puks are awesome, hold good power and you'll get used to the pedal after a couple of drives

Standard exedy will be fine but u must either skim flywheel or get new flywheel.

I skimped and didnt get a new flywheel and ended up going clutch 2 times because of this, clutch slipped even though it was new

Bought a genuine new flywheel and all is amazing

As above I have the nice worn in flywheel to go with clutch you can't go wrong

buy the 3 puk, im running the exedy 3 puk clutch and its handling 215bhp no problem.

Bollox, the 3 puk is sold waited to long lol, so even if I'm getting a standard clutch il need to get my plate skimmed ?

[raddys1]

Not plate, I mean flywheel

[mikey4410]

Yes its so important to get it skimmed. I didnt think theres any point but I was totally wrong.

and I didnt want to get it wrong a third time so I purchased a brand new flywheel.

3 pucks are quite harsh engagement.be very aware.

6 pucks are lovely.as soft as a full face

Not plate, I mean flywheel

I still have the flywheel already bedded in off the uprated clutch

[raddys1]

Na I think il just get mine skimmed tbh, thanks guys for the help though
