what motor is it? how often do you drive the car? is it your daily driver or your weekend warrior?

i'm sorry i forget haha. I have a 2000 civic si with bolt ons. vafc, intake, exhaust but i will eventually want to turbo it. i have a guy whos offering me a a exedy stage 1 with a 9 lbs fly wheel. I just want to know if it will handle boost i want something that I can get now that can also handle boost in the future. and with that being said, it is my daily driver

ive been tould not to have a light wieght flywheel while boosting...but that what ive been tould i really dont know if anybody that has a light wieght flywheel and is boost please correct me if im wrong

 

[charlie brown]

from what i have seen, light weight flywheels are typically run in all motor set-ups to allow easy rpm wind-up. with forced induction motors, its not as critical

 

[maximusmda]

you dont want a lightened flywheel when boosting.. if anything get a 12lb flywheel... a 9lb for a boosted car is not a good idea. if its your daily driver and your going to be boosting it.. ACT stage 2 with a heavy duty pressure plate.

Competition clutch has much better clutches than ACT has ever offered. They are less expensive and hold better/ last 10 times longer. www.competitionclutch.com

i have a exedy clutch in both of my cars both are pretty good, if your making over 300whp i suggest get a stage 2 clutch

ok so the exedy is out of the question. the guys was just telling me he gets like half off on exedy stuff. but i want something that good regardless the price, so that narrows it down to act or clutchcompetition so can you guys maybe narrow it down a little more? I honestly havent researched clutch competition. I have heard great things from everyone about act. I when it comes down to these clutches i still would like the cheapest one ha.

 

[charlie brown]

when i went to get my clutch set i wanted a competition, my tuner was returning all his competition clutch kits. This was due to them not releasing. now before you bash him, he did some number of clutch jobs in a month and 6 of them were competition. He had issues with all the competition stuff and none of the other stuff. just my personal experience.

exedy is a good clutch some companies uses them for oem for their cars but i forgot which car company that is

 

[CO-EM1]

well i need something for turbo and i heard exedy stage 2 or watever arent that reliable so i was thinkin act stage 2 like the gentleman said previously
