Well Im trading my current s13 hatch with a single slammer and a bunch of mods for a shell and a full rb20 swap. This is my first turbo engine but I am not a newb to engines and all of that jazz. But I have been looking online just info about the Rb so I can start to get some knowledge about it. I have a buddy in town who has an Rb20 as well and he knows everything to know.

But I just had a couple questions to ask thy Nico peeps, sooooo I was looking for a good clutch to get as it needs one. The whole engine will stay stock besides exhaust, front mount inter cooler, just the usual stuff. I will though get a top mount turbo manifold soon but it wont be for awhile. So my question is what would be a good clutch to get I heard the Exedy OEM replacement is a good one to run but I don't want to get some egay s*** clutch. I will be running stock boost maybe a little higher and I will have a boost controller if that info helps.

But I will be on here lots more now since I'm new to the Rb scene.

So if you guys have any pointers anything like that for me I would appreciate it oh and I put this in here since it would get more traffic but if I'm wrong correct me :dblthumb:

Thanks Guys

if you're considering a top mount turbo already for the future, you should just get a clutch that would support it so you wouldn't have to redo the clutch later. An act stage 2 or 3 should suffice.
