Ca18det clutch?

[silkroadS13]

I can't find clutches/flywheels anywhere for this motor- i've searched everywhere, i'm not sure where else to look

what is the compatibility of the CA18 from the pulsar to this motor? will the clutch and flywheel work? (I doubt it)

if anyone has any pretty good sources for parts, whether here, or foreign, please throw them up-

Thanks

lmao- i knew that would happen- I honestly searched so many times- I'm a noob here, but i'm not a forum noob

I searched like crazy just because i didn't want to make a pointless thread- however, i failed LOL

thanks man

KA clutch will work, there are tons available. You need to grind down an alignment pin or so I've heard. You can use an SR flywheel if you go through some hassle, you can lighten your stock flywheel, or you can buy a one from ebay when they come up.

[silkroadS13]

yeah it looks like I'm gonna go with a Spec clutch and trying and find a flywheel elsewhere- That's not on the top of my list right now anyway-

[rico05]

Heads up: Do a search on SPEC clutches. They apparently blow. I have a sneaking suspicion my clutch is getting old, and I am looking at modding the flywheel and running an ACT 2600HD kit for a KA (6 puck). I have 2 friends with it and they love it.

just run a KA clutch. you can get really good KA clutches for real cheap, and they bolt right on (pull 1 allignment pin out of the flywheel with vice grips. takes all of 30 seconds ).

oh ok- i wasn't sure what had to be done- There is really no reason not to run a KA clutch, particularly an ACT clutch, because they have always been my favorite- I've had them in every every car i've owned and can't say a bad thing about them

[rico05]

I've heard of Centerforce clutches showing thier a$$ to folks (in the RX-7 community) but ACT has a solid name in any application circle, so I agree!

And folks say CAs are hard to shop for! FOOLS!

[WeldingHank]

i like my centerforce cluch alot. not too harsh and holds strong.

[BoroBoroS13]

If you really want a CA18 clutch, you can do a special order from Japan.

[c-rad]

Yeah, I was thinking of the centerforce dual friction... it's $229 from 240sxmotoring.com Holds 90% more torque over the stocker... Pedal feel isn't too heavy like the 2600 pressure plate on the ACT.

[silkroadS13]

hmmm, I guess i've a lot more options than I thought

i've got time anyway, motor is going in until early May, when I can amass all the parts

[djmace]

i fergot but someone here is selling CA18DET clutches...because I bought one from them... HiperClutch 6 Puck Sprung... included everything needed for it..

[NeedCAforS13]

cuzan0 sells CA18ET clutches which are the same thing as a CA18DET. IN the $300 shipped range IIRC...

also, I'm unsure if the KA24E clutch works, as I have only personally used a twin cam KA24DE clutch myself. They both might work, but I'm only certain on the DE one

Sean

[Dattebayo]

E and DE are exactly the same clutch for KA.

I am 100% sure of this.

[silkroadS13]

NICE- dude this forum friggin owns

I'm so glad I joined alreayd

[dropem low]

im going with the 300zxtt clutch and a jwt light weight flywheel the only thing about this is you have to get a new starter that works but no bigie.

[sdtouge]

does anyone know if this is the stock clutch? or know what clutch this is?

if you even have a gues that would rock...matt

[NeedCAforS13]

HOLY CRAP ITS A...

stock clutch

Sean

[sdtouge]

damn.... i was hoping for something

i am gonna get the centerforce one hats 90% over stock, anyone used that one?

[cadet]

I have the centerforce 90% over stock ka24de one waiting to go in. I'll let you know.

[WeldingHank]

i got one, it works very well. i only hope it will last to 300HP like i would like it to.

[cadet]

mine should be good for... whatever a stock ca throws down. 160 maybe?

Sean

how sure are you of this?? Is somebody currently running a ka clutch? does the ka flywheel match up too?

[NeedCAforS13]

I am running a KA clutch... I thought I made that pretty clear, but I guess maybe not in this thread. They KA flywheel does not match up (different # of bolts holding it to the crank).

[sdtouge]

i orded it....

cant wait!
