I'm in need of a new clutch for my 93 classic, running around 310 bhp @ 1.3 bar boost but looking to move up to 350-360 bhp later this year.

I've been looking at the Exedy products and in particular the hyper single kit inc flywheel although am concerned over daily driving abilities traffic and parking.

So I'm looking for advice and experiences with the different clutches out there.

Many Thanks
Dave

 

intersted in some views also!!!!

 

I've had the exedy hyper.

Great clutch. Handled 330/330 easily but murder in traffic.

Couldnt parallel park with it either. You really have to rev the engine to make it slip.
Other than that, the clutch is basically like a switch. On or off. Mega thud with every gearchange.

Gearbox went shorly after.........I think this was down to the clutch.


I now go for a non paddle type. Even if it slips in 5th, I dont mind. Rather have that than all the pressure going to the gearbox. Each to their own though

 

Just get the uprated exedy(stage 1) organic clutch kit for 350bhp. which includes the uprated(40% increased clamp load) clutch cover and the organic friction plate. BTW it is the flywheel torque you need to worry about with clutch holding capacities and not bhp.

If you just want a clutch for racing, tracking and launching, then get a paddle clutch that will be mean and powerful. Will take over 450lbft of torque and will bite hard and never let go

I've just posted up a thread with exedy clutch torque capabilities in this forum.

 

ive been looking into this my self, paddle clutches will take that easy, but harsh. exedy clutchs, it the stage 2 one you want. cost around £300ish

they do better ones. theres also ap & helix clutches i've been advised too.

 

im after a clutch for my turbo 2000 classic MY00 so ill be keeping an eye on this thread.

 

Dont go anywhere near a "Competion Clutch" if you know whats good for you!!!
Bunch of con artists

 

im selling a paddle clutch
that handles 350+

only after 240 for it, never fitted too
i brought it, having plans of alot higher bhp.
but keeping it around 320/330bhp, cost quite abit too

but, looking my self at the exedy one that handles upto 350bhp.

 

Are you refering to your ACT experience?

 

i've personally never had probs.
if you get a comp clutch, never had wont that dont do what it says on the box.

well, if you keep to a repatable company anyways

 

My Exedy stage 1 clutch has given up the ghost after only 6 months and took nearly 15.k miles to stop juddering so be careful with them.

 

looks like it paddle clutch all the way then??

 

im selling one quite cheap too

 

you may have to wait for a hardcore rally racer to come along before you get rid of that mate

 

Not ACT but Competition Clutch USA.

 

OS GIKEN. awesome clutch

 

Arh, ok. I will avoid

 

yeah i second that comptetion clutch a bag of sh$t i ve ha dit in for two months and cant wait to get it out and sticka AP or helix organic in good for 400 bhp and the FT to go with it

 

Hi Dave,

At that level you won't need anything more than a Exedy Organic Racing Clutch.

AZTEC PERFORMANCE ONLINE STORE - WHOLESALE PRICES DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC - Clutches & Lightweight Flywheels :: Subaru Impreza :: Exedy Uprated Organic Racing Clutch Kit - Pink Box - Anti-Judder - 5 Speed

Give me a call if you need any advice

Nice to use on the road and work well too.

 

many thanks BOB
