Clutches are rated by Torque not HP so you should be looking at that number. Stock clutch can handle around 350 ft-lbs IIRC, for sport 700s and if you plan on driving it on the streets you are looking at something such as DXD/Southbend Stg 4 or 5.

hmm see you learn something new everyday i had no clue that they were rated by torque.... So are you saying that the stock clutch will not hold for the mods im doing in my first stage of my build??? If yes then that means i need to work on finding what clutch im going with and work that into my little budget

the stock clutch will not last long on stage 3 mods, which is intake, exhaust, and a chip to 14psi or so, which will put down about 320hp/350tq.

700bb turbos? you will need an upgrade.

also do you have all the supporting mods done for those big turbos?

I run a clutchmasters stage 1 its rated for ~550 ft/lbs but I paid out the a** for it (shouldve bought DXD its what I run in the Subie), also I'm on stock turbos.

No i plan to run a safe tune until i have the money to get essential breather mods i have been told that i can still run these mods but i want get the total potential out of the turbos (obviously)

I have another question why is the DXD clutch so much cheaper than the other ones???

On a side note im going to need some serious help from yall that know about clutches ect. I'm not familliar with clutches AT ALL.. But thats why i love yall and love nico.

Thanks in advance for your responses

Basically there are only 4 or 5 producers of clutches in the world: Valeo, Daikin/Exedy, XDR, etc... Z32 stockers are all Valeo, the Clutchmaster or DXD clutch you get will be a Valeo Clutch with HD components (disk material, hub springs, pressure plate springs) I have no clue why DXD is so much cheaper, I could guess it's because they do all assembly work in house instead of just mix and matching components (order springs, disks, disk material, pressure plate shells, etc. then throw a kit together). When I got my WRX clutch from them it came with a hardened Exedy stg2 disk, organic/non-organic HD disk material, HD springs and a beefy Exedy(i don't know what it is exactly) pressure plate basket.
Read about the differences between all the FX100-FX500 and on: http://www.clutchmasters.com/index.php? ... oducts.tpl , that should give you a bit of an idea about the availability of clutches out there, they are built in the same manner, also check out this site to get the basics all the components of a clutch function: http://www.howstuffworks.com/clutch.htm

Ok thanks man so is there a quality difference between the $3,000 clutch and the DXD or is the expensive one just expensive because they had to out source parts?? Im not trying to short change (take shortcuts in my build) my car in any way. If i have to spend more money to get the right one ill just wait paitently until i have the funds but i would definately like to get the cheaper one if its still just as good

stage 6 DXD clutch for $650 Or should i go this route http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart ... 9.12.25.68
the JWT aluminum flywheel for $375
for a total of $1020

Alright Nolimit and all you guys, if you were me in my situation what Clutch and Flywheel would you go with, if you were doing the same mods i am doing????

I'd personally would do excedy before anything else... if car manufactures trust them enough to build their clutches it's a no brainer for a consumer...

you should have gotten the specialtyz dp's instead of the imitation alloy toyz ones, i think legion might have the specialtyz tp's and catback for sale if you're interested.

Hmm ok i didnt know they were an off brand... Ill take a look thanks for the tip but i want to buy everything new unless he can give me a great deal

and are they 5 bolt?

give kyle at ipp a call, he can take care of you for your build.
the thing with buying from coz is, he's got great customer service, but i don't know if he uses real parts or not, from the 300d fiasco.

Ok thanks man
