thnx for replying,what ar turbine housing you recommend me??maybe .48??will the stock bottom end support the 20-23 psi abuse??any more suggestions on which clutch to use?

[r34 gtr]

the bottom end should be able to withstand the abuse, and i do believe that you will have to swap out the bell housing on the transmission to use a clutch by one of those companies. spec makes clutches for the ca, id try them out.

Actually if you get creative with a dremel you can use a KA24DE clutch from ACT. That is the clutch that we used in the CA swap that we did.

will the clutch from a KA24E work? I dont know but i am going to see I get my motor in today and got a cluch chillin from my KA.. I am going to see if it will work

SPEC Stage 3 Kit (good for 350lbs ~ 400whp if broken in properly, and thats what i'll be using) from enjunkuracing.com or spec themselves or any reseller of SPEC clutches..

here is the email i just got from Enjunku Racing

Quote » I would have to say since the stage 3 will hold up to 350 lb/ft torque, you may eventually need a stage 5 which holds up to 500 lb/ft. It all depends on how harsh of a clutch you prefer. Also you can choose between a 6 puck or a 4 puck disk for the stage 3 clutch kit. The stage 3 will run you about $349 and the stage 5 will run about $429.[/quote]

Yea, you can take the time to dremel out the KA pressure plate, and overpay for an ACT clutch kit and have it rebalanced to avoid any future damage, OR you can order a SPEC clutch designed for the CA18DET, and will hold much more power.

SPEC Stage 3 is much more streetable than the ACT equivelent and will hold the power.

I have driven many Stage 3 setups and I would have to say nothing comes close to how easy it is to drive.

Yo DEE, IM me whenever... godzilla240sx. I lost your IM through the new computer move. I remeber it was turbo something.

[turbocorolla]

hey guys,sorry i forgot,i will be using M&H slicks on the strip(24.5-8-13)now do you guys still recommend me to use the spec stage 3????or go to the stage 4?what is the diff. between them? peddle press?i dont mind if its a little hard to run it on the street,i just dont want any clutch slipping because i used slicks!!!!

[drumma022]

The stage 3 is sprung, and 4 is unsprung. Even a stage 5 has an insanely light pedal pressure.

[turbocorolla]

ok,thnx for replyingi think ill go for the stage 4 kiton all our customers car that weve installed an unsprung ACT clutch weve never got any complains so ill take the stage 4!!
