About to start a project on my03 Sti just after christmas which should see the better side of 360bhp. Currently i am on a standard sti clutch with 25k average miles on it (i don't really do any drag starts or go to santapod type things).
Will the current one be totally unuseable with that much extra power going through it or should i just wait till it gives up the ghost before changing to an uprated one?
Also whats a good uprated clutch to use? I see the exedy organic clutches are popular. Would one rated to 350bhp be ok if a run say 360-370 through it or am i gonna need to get one rated to 400?

Thanks for any help given

 

Personally i would wait until the std clutch started to slip and then replace it with an uprated item, You maybe surprised it may last a long time if your not to hard on it.

Normally clutches are rated to the torque they can handle not the power.

I have a AP organic in my car and it works very nicely at 380/350.

 

Con-cur with Ro Ru.
My AP organic is superb.
David at www.apiengines.com is doing a group buy on the organic exeedy which many think is the same as the AP (?)

You get what you pay for, and to change a clutch is no joke on the Impreza, so fit the best you can.(imho: AP organic)

awesome thanks guys i think i will leave the clutch then till it starts to slip as i realise it isn't a cheap job to get done.
