The pedal pressure on my clutch is something like 70lbs. You can't push it in with your hand without some serious effort, and your leg gets tired pretty quickly in traffic. Its freaking teh bomb.

For my sentra, I sport a custom heavy duty 4-puck disk made by the clutch house in Fort Lauderdale as well as an extreme ACT pressure plate mated to a lightened FWD CA18DE flywheel. For my S13, an extreme ACT pressure plate and another custom heavy duty 4-puck disk (for the CA18)mated to a stepped stock flywheel. I run the same clutch (except for the pressure plate) in most cars that I build with no complaints. All clutches are capable of holding better than 400whp. Gonna try something different with my up and coming sentra chasis exchange.

whats this about the step in the flywheel???what its purpose?

sadly my swap came with a exedy oem replacement lol.. looks kinda glazed and low on meat... flywheel has small pressure cracks and glazing.. oh and the flywheel is heavy as hell lol.

It's because you didn't put the step in there. I found this out the hard way.

I've been running an almost stock clutch from Illegal Garage but I recently bought Seans old HKS flywheel and ACT clutch in preparation for the next turbo swap.

Love my Os giken twin plate even more than my old center force dual friction. But the car is a track car now so streetability wasn't in mind.
