i'm looking to replace the clutch on my b16b and was wondering what clutch kit would be a good one? it is a stock motor so i dont need/want anything extreme like OE but i dont have access to CTR parts here!
 
got access to itr parts?

clutch is the same, avoid cheap options, oem is always best:nice:
 
i've just got myself an exedy clutch for an integra, OEM to go in my ek9. tried googling the part number and it was coming up as different than the type-r integra ones, as in, the gsr integra in america etc, still b18c's and stuff, so i imagine they're all the same anyway. it isn't like there's much of a difference in torque (not enough to worry a decent clutch anyway, as torque is the thing that kills clutches).

was bout 150quid delivered from tegiwa.
 
Got an Exedy OEM fitted few weeks ago... spot on :)
 
k guys thanks for the replies.... i do have access to USDM ITR parts so it sounds like i should go oe or exedy!!!
 
oem is safe option and well up to the job, have a search and i'm sure you'l find very mixed opinions on exedy, they seem to be hit and miss! some have judder.
 
^^think thats mainly the stage 2 aint it?i put in a stagge one organic last week,its good bite but pedal is a bit high for my liking,think itd down to the exedy release bearing being smaller,gonna adjust the pedal se if it helps.
 
exedy is a good option for a daily use car :)
 
if you can handle the price go with Spoon flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate. i run this set up and have had no issues at all. feels great, clutch engages when you need it too, its not too harsh, and no chatter.
exedy clutches are known to chatter very badly if you have lightened flywheel.
go Spoon all the way. :nice:
 
spoon is high quality but price is even higher :( at least here in the states all their stuff is so outragously priced that even with the quality of their product the price is just STUPID
 
i have a chance to get a used toda flywheel that is near perfect for $70 US dollars and thinkin maybe a OE ITR clutch kit????

im interesting on the same set up for my teg
toda light fly with oem itr clutch

i consider if the clutch will last long with so light fly and so fast reving
if that is something to worry about...:nerv:

also i heard about starting problems with these kind light flywheels the car wont start easy or its stops wile its runing at idle
that the Flywheel is eating the starter motor and stuffs like these :nerv:
has anyone any experience or these kind of problems with his light fly?

i have a ACT pro light flywheel, with oem itr clutch and have no problems what so ever.

buy cheap components and you may have problems such as described.

if you dont want a oem clutch then ACT clutches and clutchmasters seem to have a good reputation.:nice:
 
ya i think i'm gonna pick up that flywheel even if i dont use it cause its a super good deal!!!
 
i'd be wary of used flywheels mate, 99% of the time they'll need to be skimmed, in which case it's cheaper to just buy a new one, as mine was only £140 new for a brand new 3.8kg (maybe 3.4kg?) fidanza fly :)

If they have no heat spots on them then they 'may' be ok, aftermarket ones are obviously thinner and lighter than stock ones, so will be prone to warping easier. stock ones will usually be fine to be reused as they're big heavy mothers :)

this one looks to be in very good condition, but he is going to skim/resurface it for me for same price
