I searched but found nothing relevant to what I'm looking for.

So I've finally given in and decided to boost the d16 in my EJ7. The thing is the turbo isn't in yet and I can already feel the clutch slipping. The motor/tranny has about 171k miles on it but it runs great... except the clutch :hs: Now I'm a newb when it comes to working on the guts of a motor or transmission so I've never replaced a clutch myself. The motor specs are 115HP/104TQ factory and with the 6lbs of boost I plan to add i don't expect a HUGE gain in either/or. So I ask which type of clutch should i be looking for? I posted a link to an Exedy cerametallic clutch kit i found while browsing around along with the specs on the turbo itself if that'll help at all. Let me know if this is what i should be looking to get or if it's too much/less. Thanks in advance.

clutch seems nice...alot of people would suggest a stage 2-4 clutch...all depends on price of each and if this is going to be a daily driver etc...

 

I ran a stage one clutch on my civic for a year that was making about 180hp. Now i'm sitting at 230 and my stock clutch went out in 3 months, so go with at least stage 1 and it also depends on how you drive it too!

 

Thanks for the replies guys, unfortunately I crashed my car thanksgiving day so i am forced to sell my turbo kit to pay for repairs. Info was well appreciated though I will keep it in mind for my next turbo project
