on any turbo setup with a descent amount of added torque your gonna eat it up quick......stock clutches arent meant to be hammered with boost.

ive seen guys last from days on a stock clutch to a few weeks on a low boost setup... Expect to blow it up and replace it either before going boost or soon after

I don't care my clutch is lifetime warranty on the oem replacement clutches. Just replaced it 2 months ago when i stared boosting. If it starts too slip again, take it off and bring it back too them. But for now it seems to be grabbing very well for an oem. I beat the ---- out of this clutch..haaha

its a d16y8 im thinking about 8psi at first, unless that will burn the ---- out of my clutch in that case i'll turn it down. and i don't drive like a complete idiot i just like to hammer the gas every once in awhile like everyone else.

I would upgrade the clutch if I were you, I don't think it would last very long at all. The only reason why the B16 clutch lasts so much better is that it's way more clutch that the car needs to begin with. It's the same clutch (disc & press. plate) that is used in the CR-V. Also, stay away from ceramic (puck) clutches if you can. They will tear up your flywheel really bad, they are also very unfriendly for street driving. (Very harsh engadement)
