Ebay Clutches?
 

I need a clutch and ieard these like 300 ebay kits the "stage 3" 6 pucks are straight for beginner turbo applications anyone ever used one jw

Ive got a used stage 3 F1 clutch in my car now... I would just recommend getting the clutch kit, and reuse your flywheel... Heavier flywheel=more load, better spool. XTD clutches Ive heard decent things about as well. But I have NO complaints about my F1, and Im putting down about 217 whp.

thank you solid reply, especially the flywheel comment gets me thinking, so your saying dont wry about a flywheel kit just a clutch kit no flywheel nice, but arnt there pros to a lighter flywheel more accel while not on boost cuz im doing a small turbo setup so i should spool up quick anyway...im just playin devils advocate here not saying your wrong just want more input

I have a xtd 6-puck clutch, and 11 lbs. flywheel for 2.5 yrs with no issues. I have d16z6 with 10 psig supercharger.
But if you have good tires for gip, mine RT-615 for auto-x, I go through about 2 cv-axles per side per year. Still alot easier to replace cv-axles than pulling trannies.

I had an xtd stage 4 unsprung 6 puck and it slipped bad under boost on an ls with a holset 12ish pounds.

When I put the b16 in the same car with the same turbo kit/clutch/flywheel/trans/everything it never slipped, but the car had noticable less power. Fucker was downright slow.

It was awkward grabby letting it out, but the peddle feel was soft just like stock so I find it hard to believe the pressure plate was 200% stronger than stock or whatever they claim. I read all about broken cables with strong pressure plates and my stock 180k+ mile stocker handled it just fine. Hell chris (the mod) talks about breaking the clutch pedal mount with strong clutches. And I could let my woman drive this thing with no complaints about her leg getting at all tired.

I've read rumors they are just stock pp repainted with a china disc but my pp was chromed out bling yo, so I wouldn't go as far as saying it was stock repainted but it was bad. It just couldn't handle the torque I guess. No matter how many people I read with 'good luck' with them I will never waste my money or labor on another egay special clutch.

My xtd clutch has very stiff pressure plate. Took me a few weeks to get use to the stiffer pedal feel. Drove down to Denver (3.5hr. drive) and back and lift calf was very sore. I had replace the clutch master cylinder.

I guess it's a gamble you'll get anything better than stock then?

Is it worth it? My personal opinion is no.
