You guys think if I bought just a replacement KA clutch it would hold 12-14 psi through an SR T25? I dont want to waste 100$.

http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=2509 This is the clutch I want, its basically an exedy stage one, made by the same company, It just needs to last me to mid summer when I can afford a better stage 3 SR clutch and SR flywheel, but If I break it in properly and such, think she can handle 14 psi daily until then?

Maybe, but I doubt it. If you leave it at stock boot (7-10psi) you'll probably be OK though.

I did some more looking into things, and found the "zoom" clutches, they are meant for the CA18ET but are a direct fit, would the Stage two suite me?

That sucks, the highest stage is expensive, I would rather buy a name brand KA clutch than the highest stage zoom clutch, Ive never heard of them and dont know their quality compared to say clutchmasters or exedy.

Like others have been saying.

That stock clutch would barely grip a stock CA. Dont bother with that at all.

That Zoom clutch isnt even the correct specs. Here are the ones you would need. part # ZZZ-F1-108(stage one), ZZZ-F2-108(stage two), ZZZ-F3-108(stage three), or ZZZ-F4-108(stage four). OR for KA apps. ZZZ-F(stage number)-101

Nobody seems to have any experience with this brand though. And the pictures arent detailed enough to see the quality. Go for it if you want, let us know the results if you decide to.

How much are you looking to spend?

SPEC?

PLEASE don't cheap out the first time. You WILL be spending the money to do it right the 2nd time, and there WILL be a second time...
