Which Exedy clutch is the go?
I have a 1.6 Toda chromoly flywheel and I'm a bit confused as to which Exedy clutch to pair it to?
Power output will be 250whp absolute tops on a boosted NB 1.8. Not sure what peak torque would be but whatever an upgraded compressor wheel MSM turbo puts out at 12psi, so probably not much. :giggle: Daily driven so something organic, and it would be good if it didn't make the leg muscles bigger in your left leg... What are you guys rocking? Cheers |
The first clutch I put in my turbo '94 was an Exedy Stage 1. I went with it because I had great luck with the same model on my DET Sentra making ~260whp. It never slipped, had a slightly heavier than stock pedal effort, and it was easy on the tranny (the fwd Nissans have a "glass" 3rd gear) so I was very happy with the setup. On the Miata it also had a nice pedal effort however I found out that in this application it can't handle nearly the same power level. I was probably about 200whp and the clutch would slip very badly when launched aggressively. I drove with it about a year and then it started slipping under boost in 5th gear all the time. When I dropped the tranny I found that the disc was almost worn to the rivets and my Fidanza friction ring had gotten so hot that it cracked nearly in half on one side.
I replaced the Exedy with an ACT XT/6 puck sprung disc. I drove it for a couple months with no problems and then sold the car when I bought my 10AE. The new owner is a member here who does hill climbs and as far as I know the clutch is still working great. I'm in the process of procuring all the parts I need to boost my new car and I went with the same ACT clutch again. |

I have the 1600 organic Exedy disc with a modified pressure plate for extra clamping force. It's not in the car yet as the engine is still in bits!
Pressure plate mods were done by Direct Clutch in Albion. |
Any reason you didn't go for a lightened 1.8 flywheel? More surface area?
Which car are you doing? |
Tried to call ya!
I have a Toda 1600 flywheel, not keen on the large blocks on the very outer edge of the 1800 one. I have just the street registered NB now. |
