Stock clutch
 

I'm still running my stock b16 clutch at 9psi (putting down about 265hp) and it hasn't died yet (but I'm waiting for it to)...I was just curious how much power anyone has put to a stock b series clutch before it bit the dust...

Re:Stock clutch
 

you forgot to mention how many miles you got on yo' ride

Re:Stock clutch
 

probably just a madder of time,depends on what kind of shape the clutch was in to start with,how much power u are making and how hard u are on it.

Re:Stock clutch
 

I wasn't asking how long it would last...I'm curious how far anyone has pushed the stock clutch before it blew up. BTW it has about 10k miles on it...about 7k with motor swap only and just 3k turbo...

Re:Stock clutch
 

I can't tell you exact specifics on that car, I assume it's the way you treat it. Projekteg has killed his clutch.. I think it was gone before boost and now it's a slip machine. Do you drop the clutch and redline the car much?

Re:Stock clutch
 

i dont know u could prob run 30psi if u where easy on it or 5psi if u beat on it constantly ???

Acually I'm a grampa driver until someone talks ----...then it's balls to the wall. (ya know...the whole sleeper thing)Unforunitely I don't seem to get lucky and find a victom very often...I'm sure it will die soon...it was just more of a cuious question anyway. Besides I work for a clutch company and I'll get the PHAT hookup, I'm just lazy and I don;t want to do it until I have to. :P

Re:Stock clutch
 

i would say its not how far u push it but how hard u push it :P

Re:Stock clutch
 

so u are more or less looking for someone to say they where making X amount of power,and drove X amount of time befor it gave up.

Re:Stock clutch
 

yeah, I think.. but all we can do is talk about general stuff, I don't have any b16 powered ----.

Re:Stock clutch
 

I'm just asking what is the most power is that anyone ever put to a b series clutch for ANY amout of time....and had it get to the end of the track at least once without slipping that is...it really is a pointless question..there is no real use for the answer...I'm just curious.

Re:Stock clutch
 

i have a turbo'd b16 but i dropped an ACT clutch in it when it was out.

Re:Stock clutch
 

I'd swap it soon. My flywheel was SCORCHED when I took mine out,

Re:Stock clutch
 

Are you just guessing your making that kind of power or are you certain you are? 265whp your maxing out those injectors ;)

I was making over 300whp on a stock gsr clutch, but I was using a act xtreme pp.

Re:Stock clutch
 

stock clutches suck, my brothers old 86 prelude had about 1k on a oem clutch and it died in a weak from a 175 shot of n20.... good times ;D

Re:Stock clutch
 

Yes, I am guessing, but I've got to be pretty close...I can acually watch the injectors max out on my A/F while I'm boosting...that's why I getting into Uberdata and some 550's VERY soon. I'm kind of afraid to drive it until I get some bigger squirties, it's just too dangerous. I'll just take it really easy till I get the rest of my new ECU & fuel setup...BTW comparing a '86 prelude clutch to a B series clutch isn't even fair to the poor prelude...it's only rated at like 60% of the clamp load of a B series (stock)...and, like they said, how you drive it makes ALOT of difference. PS. Thanks Jeff for acually answering my REAL question.

Re:Stock clutch
 

I mean, I really beat the ---- out of mine for a complete summer. It was on my crvtec turbo, then it went into several other engines that I did, even the twin turbo ls/vtec. Suprisinly the stock GSR disc only slipped one time and it was at the track after several 8000rpm launchs. I think the only reason it ever held was because of the ACT extreme Pressure plate, Even that thing was beat pretty bad when I got it. Overall I was pretty impressed with it, I'd suggest a ACT XT/SS clutch setup for people who have around 350whp and beat the crap out of their clutch.

Re:Stock clutch
 

No, seriously, I wasn't being sarcastic...you were the only one in this thread that acually answered my question.....It sounds like the B series clutch is pretty tough, I guess I'll leave it and see what happens...(not htat I was going to mess with it until it fails anyway)
