new clutch

[wild_maxx]

i ordered this rps clutch kit from Phase 2 motortrend and it looks pretty nice. i decided on this one after the post on what clutch to run for a low boost setup and this was the mostly mentioned one. i have a question though, what side of the disc will go to the flywheel? it does not have a marking saying this side to flywheel like most others do. i am assuming that the flat side goes toward flywheel but i want to completely positive. and does anyone know how tight i need to torque the flywheel down? this is going in the kae. thanx

my chilton book says 105-112for both the de and e flywheel... and says 16-22 for the pressure plate

yup and yup.. flat side down and those torque numbers sound about right.

Make sure you get/borrow a clutch allignment tool so everything lines up perfectly! ($2-$3 at any hardware store)

Fiz.. here's another sign from god telling me to go with RPS

well this clutch came with the alignment tool so thats ok, but phase 2 sells just the pressure plate and clutch disc with alignment tool but no bearings unless you want to spend about 40 bux more so i just bought the basic kit then bought the other bearing from pinacle nissan for about 30 bux and let me tell you, they have the fastest shipping i think i have ever recieved. so if anyone else out there is going for a low boost setup like me this is the way to go. my total for all the parts came out to about 290.00 and the clutch disc is also rebuildable so you wont have to replace the pressure plate if the disc goes bad. this is not a bad route to go.
