i was wondering how long you guys think my clutch will hold on on 5psi, i have lsd rear diff. it slips alittle when i hit second gear, other then that it pulls good, but i know it will go soon, i was wanting to know where i could get a good deal on a stage 2 clutch kit? i saw 1 on ebay called eClutchmaster for 250, is that a good clutch?? right now my friend and i are putting his turbo on my s13, we are just gonna run it at 5psi for now, it should be done maybe this weekend if not sometime early next week.

ThanksPaul

Never cheap out on a vital part like a clutch. If it shatters, you will be left stranded. A clutch job isn't exactly something you want to have to do very frequently. I will either be getting an ACT Street/Strip Clutch or an RPS Sport 6 Puck. Both seem to be highly recommended. The only inexpensive name brand performance clutch is the Centerforce Dual Friction, and the reviews on it seem to be 50/50. Given its properties, I don't like the idea of using Kevlar as a clutch material.

RPS MAX with stock disk... Mine has held up great! Makes the clutch 70% harder to push and about 200% lighter then an M3.

I burnt 2 stock ones before this...

^ Yeah, what he said.

If you know youre gonna swap motors/trannys soon (in a couple of months), I'd just burn up the stock clutch and save for a nice clutch for your swap.
