Clutch Questions ...

Hey guys ..

so, soon I'll be swapping the standard tranny from Peter's old OBS into my turbo GC. Where I've never really dealt with standards before, I'm kind of lost as to what I should be looking for in a clutch. Obviously, I have the 2.2t motor, pretty much stock - the K&N cone filter. Soon, I plan on adding an intercooler, and upping the boost by about 3 or 4 lbs. Eventually, I want to get a bigger turbo, injectors, and EM. That probably won't happen for a while, but what type of clutch should I be looking for?

I found several on eBay, but again, I don't know what I'll need powerwise, and what will be too much.

I know going with lesser known brands can be a bad thing, but I figure where I don't drive a standard every day, I'm probably going to kill the first clutch anyway, so I don't want to spend $300 on a clutch kit that's going to disappear ... anyone have any ideads as to what I should use or anything of that nature?

 
See if you can find an Exedy stage 1 clutch. More holding power but with stock engagement. Should be perfect for your plans. I have one sitting in my toolbox for my car. (no time to put it in) I'll prolly be making more power than it was designed for but clutches are cheaper to replace than trannys!

Where did you find it, and how much was it? I was looking for a stage 1 exedy, but it was like $300 or something ... I guess I should look around more.

 
I got mine on a group buy on Nasioc. I think it was through TH Motorsports. I paid around $350 shipped.
