nitekids had the stock S14 SR clutch in his car until he did the cam install, turbo, and valvetrain upgrade. and those who kno, can vouch that when someone other then henry driving it, got on it hard. that clutch came out with material still on it. and that was while it was making in excess of 250+ whp

I got the Exedy stage 2 in mine, kinda bitch in traffic but it grabs like no bitch, i was getting the stage 1 but the guy just gave me the stage 2 for the same price, so here i am with a huge left calf.

How much hp would be retain a spec 1 clutch or a exedy stage 1?
anyone know.. I certainly don't want a calf destroyer one..

Get the Jim Wolf Z33 clutch kit... sprung disc and pressure plate...capable of holding 1200kg of force (whereas normal 'stage 2' hold in the 800/900 range)...

Best part of the JWT is the lighter than a feather clutch...almost feals as if no clutch is even there!!

I am going to be using the Exedy Stage 1 clutch for my car when I do the swap. it was cheap, made by a reputable company, and build to handle around 285-300 Ft.-Lbs of torque. I am figuring that i will be around 235-240 WHP, which will be about right for this clutch.

I think I'm going to use the Exedy Stage 2.

I'll be around the same rwhp for now, but come spring when the car is upgraded I want the clutch to be able to take more power so I don't have to go out and spend another $300+.

That may be a better fit for you. I've heard for anything more than a mildly modded SR, you need a little more clamping power than even a stage 1. I suggest the stage 1 however, for those looking to have a little more clamp without the harshness of a stage 2 or above clutch engagement.

If any of you are looking at the Exedy multi-plate clutches, check out ATS clutches (they supply the carbon discs for exedy)
