Hi I am new to this site and to the Subaru Impreza. Wrx. Question is. My car is tuned to 330 bhp. So would I need a special clutch. Or is a standerd one ok. As it smells rearlly bad when flooring it from standstill. But only then. ?? Thanks for help

 

An excedy clutch wont hurt - but launch starts will. If the smell is only presant when you boot it from standstill but does not when driving normally then you have your answer

 

Ok it's just that the clutch place I whent to will only fit the standard recommended clutch. Are they just not suitable. Now as the power is more. ? Thanks will

 

Competition Clutch will be what you need.

I fitted an Excedy Pink box stage 1 organic clutch mine is running 355/400, also replaced the flywheel

And its fine

 

Thank for the replies I had a new exede stage one fitted yesterday. And a re skimmed flywheel. But no there is a judder on pull off. I am only getting this on pull of ?? Will this go away.

 

Speak the AS Performance - he will sort you out and give you advice.

 

While we're on the subject of clutchs can any one tell me how to get the release bearing off the clutch assembly

 

Hi spoke to as performance. And they said judder is a commonly known problem with Scoby. And that it will bed in. ?? Would you agree Do you all have low end judder ? Thanks

 

You didn't need to upgrade your clutch to a pink box Stage 1. The standard one would've been fine with your power levels and you'd have eradicated any clutch judder from standstill.

I ran an 05 Sti with 340 bhp on the standard clutch and flywheel that was on the car after it was modified by Slowboy Racing in Kent. I did some 24,000 miles and it performed perfectly. Was like a rocket in actual fact!

 

Ok thanks for that. I forgot to say. As performance said that exede do not do a stage one clutch. ( Just wot he said ) The box mine came in was blue. So he said it's just the standard clutch. That has been installed. . But I have now racked up 100 miles and it's a bit better. Just about to go out and do another 100 miles. If no better I will get them to put a new clutch in. ?

 

Is your car a WRX or STI. If it was the standard clutch, then it prob just needs to bed in, like you say.

 

03 plate wrx. I hope so. As don't really want to go back now. Lol.

 

Exedy stage 1 is the pink box ?

 

If that's the case how much bhp and torque can the standard clutch on a newage Sti handle then?

 

How long is a piece of string really pal. You got to take on board peoples driving styles, resting foot on clutches, short shifting etc.

Driven sensibly I dare say 400/400 ish, but how long it would last is anybody's guess tbh, but you wouldn't get any satisfaction out of driving the car that way, that's for sure
