raddys1 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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 1Any help much appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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.

daniel_g Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Buy mine for the bargain price I sent you ;)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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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 Yes indeed thanks buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 As above I have the nice worn in flywheel to go with clutch you can't go wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raddys1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 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 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raddys1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Not plate, I mean flywheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Not plate, I mean flywheelI still have the flywheel already bedded in off the uprated clutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raddys1 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Na I think il just get mine skimmed tbh, thanks guys for the help though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
