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. ****** 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.
