FM Stage 2 vs Exedy Stage 2?
I'm planning on doing K Swap soon and I'm shopping for a clutch.
These motors typically make around 180-190TQ My engine build thread is here Another K24/K20 Frank Project, Shooting for 260whp - K20A.org Which clutch setup would be appropriate? FM Stage 2? Flyin' Miata : Engine/Drivetrain : Transmission : FM Level 2 clutch Exedy Stage 2? EXEDY Globalparts Corporation | High Performance and OEM Clutches and Flywheels EDIT: Fixed link Thanks in advance |

The exedy link is dead. If your shooting for 190TQ, you could rock a FM 1, as its threshold is 318 ft-lb.
exedy is rated 297 but only 189ft/lb at the wheels. These are the specs for the exedy stage 2 from exedy website. Specs: Disc Size 215mm Spline Teeth / Major Dia 22T / 24.3mm Clamping Force/Load exerted (lbs) 1322 Disc Material Thick Cerametallic Number of Disc Single Type (Push/Pull) Push Sprung Center (D-core) Yes Clutch Torque 297 Torque Capacity at Wheels 189 Torque Capacity at Flywheel 236 |
Fm1 would be perfect for your goal.

Though I didn't see in your build thread OP whether you intend to DD this car or not. |

Right, since you didn't specify wtq I assumed at the flywheel.

So, you guys recommend FM1 over FM2 for this setup? |

Oh, my bad on that. This car is for street, but probably won't get driven everyday.

I will say though, I regretted it just because in the pit of my stomach I plan on surpassing that later. For $40 more, I would probably buy the FM2 if you're okay with the additional pedal feel. |

The only car I installed a aftermarket clutch was a '04 SRT-4 and put in a Clutch Masters Stage 3/4 6 puck and it was essentially a on/off switch with a fairly stiff pedal but I loved it and even my wife could drive it w/o issue. So I personally would rather have too much clutch rather than barely enough, just my limited experience. :)

FM2.
no pucked clutches. honestly a FMI or Exedy Stage 1 would suffice without the extra pedal effort. |

I have been very impressed with the FM1 clutch after getting the chance to drive a few. The pedal feel is a tad stiffer than stock, but nowhere near what a typical aftermarket clutch feels like, and it grabs smooth and easy. Nice for a street car.

I understand FM1 but Exedy Stage 1 is only rated @ 164ft/lb at the wheel.
