i am buying either a b16 or gsr and wondering which clutch to go with? i am debating right now on the centerforce duo, or an excedy clutch. what clutches have you people had that were great??

AHHVTEC · 01-28-2008, 12:48 AM

excedy ftw

honda_boy911 · 01-28-2008, 12:49 AM

what stage??

AHHVTEC · 01-28-2008, 12:52 AM

depends on what power you have, if you have under 220 hp. stage 1 will be fine

honda_boy911 · 01-28-2008, 12:53 AM

well im aiming for 250 -300 whp

AHHVTEC · 01-28-2008, 12:58 AM

well go to excedy website and it will tell you hat stage is good for what hp

honda_boy911 · 01-28-2008, 12:58 AM

cool, so you would say excedy over centerforce

AHHVTEC · 01-28-2008, 01:00 AM

yes, but thats my opinion. im sure you can find just as many ppl that like center force

honda_boy911 · 01-28-2008, 01:10 AM

cool thanks

Action Clutch 2KS FTW!!! Dual diaphram heavy duty pressure plate and a full face clutch disc.

Bisi Moto runs Action Clutch

They specialize only in Honda/Acura

They feel WAY better than any of my friends ACT pressure plates. My pedal pops when it engages. Theirs feel like a wet sponge.

2KS is what I have. It's SUPER streetable. Holds up to 375 or some lbs of torque.

honda_boy911 · 01-28-2008, 11:28 AM

thanks man i will definatly look into those

HATCHET_HONDA · 01-28-2008, 10:54 PM

i got an act stage 3 in my d15b...its a beast..either you stall or do a burnout..lol

honda_boy911 · 01-28-2008, 11:01 PM

lol nice

honda_boy911 · 01-29-2008, 01:05 AM

any more suggestions?

HATCHET_HONDA · 01-29-2008, 01:27 AM

id go with exedy..stage 2... done and done

honda_boy911 · 01-29-2008, 01:41 AM

thanks

**OKCZombie** · 01-29-2008, 11:24 PM

agreed exedy stage 2 - and why not go ahead and get a lightened flywheel - well worth it IMO instead of having the flywheel resurfaced like you should

honda_boy911 · 01-30-2008, 12:05 AM

well i dont kno if i want to go with a light flywheel because the motor will be being boosted in the future

YBLEGAL · 01-30-2008, 12:07 AM

just takes more skill to drive a lightened flywheel. all the benifits are there for daily driving and circuit racing. aka fuel economy and quick shifts. but heavy clutchs rule the drag scene. keep that mass spinning

honda_boy911 · 01-30-2008, 12:08 AM

yes, if racing it will only be drag. so should i just keep stock flywheel?

YBLEGAL · 01-30-2008, 12:09 AM

yeah. save a few bucks. keep a lil fuel econ. resurface it tho.

honda_boy911 · 01-30-2008, 12:10 AM

o definatly resurface. speaking of fuel.. how is the gas milage on B series motors

YBLEGAL · 01-30-2008, 12:16 AM

i honestly havnt a clue. for a number of factors. i'm cheap and usually run 87 octane. i dont ever pay attention to any amount of miles except 3000 for oil. and i've never taken the time to calculate anything.

1 thing i know for certian. gas @ $3.00 per/gal. $5 gets me from Portage, Indiana to Hammond, Indiana. Both ways. so if you really want to know. utilize google maps

HATCHET_HONDA · 01-30-2008, 12:17 AM

yea..and is it hard to pass emissions with a b swap? thats what im worried bout

HATCHET_HONDA · 01-30-2008, 12:19 AM

damn porter county emission laws...
