cory25 · Post by **cory25** » June 19th, 2006, 5:03 pm

well its time for a new clutch, I ve herd you guys talk a good bit about wich ones to get. so I think I am goiing with the EXEDY ORGANIC clutch kit. I found it http://www.summitracing.com here's the part number : EAC-08-800B It's hard to tell if this will work on a type r, if someone could go there and look to make sure I am getting the thing that would be sweet. And I was going to put a new flywheel in as well, the EXEDY one is 9.46lbs what is the weight of the stock one?

If anyone has a better sugg on a diff clutch please let me know, my has no mods done and wont for a while.

Thanks

stock FW is about 15.x lbs.

As for ordering from Summit, I do and never had a problem.

But you might want to check out the Expo sponsers and see what kind of deals can be had... If none of the sponsers can hook you up to your liking then try clutchcityonline.com. I have had 2 very good purchases thru them.

I second Rob's recommendation of clutchcityonline.com FTW! Free shipping and a good price.

08-800B will work. All B-series clutches are interchangable.

thanks ,at clutchcity it says that it comes with the pilot bearing, and the release bearing, the reson I am doing this is because I need a new throwout bearing, is that something that I need to buy from honda?

thanks so much for the help! so is it a big diff going from the stock flywheel to a 9.46lbs one?

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » June 19th, 2006, 6:47 pm

I went from stock to the Comptech 6.75lbs and was in heaven! If they made a lighter one I'd be first in line to buy.

I actually have a lot of fun when I used to use the caR on the street.

I have a 7.5 pound Fidanza. Love it. Same as Rob, if I could go lighter I would (which I did, went from a sprung clutch to an unsprung, ~ 1 pound).

Does lighter flywheel actually adds any power to wheels or it just makes car rev faster? Then how does it make car faster?... confused

could never understand how it works

just lets you rev faster. no one said anything about making more power with a lighten flywheel. where did you get that from?

cory25 · Post by **cory25** » June 21st, 2006, 12:48 pm

well the website for EXEDY says that there 9.46lb flywheel adds 42% more torque.

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » June 21st, 2006, 1:13 pm

Adds 42% more OR can handle 42% more ?

cory25 · Post by **cory25** » June 21st, 2006, 2:14 pm

if you go to clutchcityonline.com it just has a colum that says TORQUE INCREASE 32% (sorry not 42)

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » June 21st, 2006, 2:18 pm

I think it referes to holds xx% more then stock. But I could be wrong, Why not call them and ask?

cory25 · Post by **cory25** » June 21st, 2006, 2:22 pm

I tryed to call them but it just rang forever.
oh well ether way.

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » June 21st, 2006, 2:25 pm

I say try again with the call, I bet they are busy or busy eating lunch

SerGTR · Post by **SerGTR** » June 22nd, 2006, 1:28 am

So how does fast reving goes into advantage, how does it make car faster? So is it possible to install Comptech 6.75lbs flywheel along with 4.9 Final Drive? I can't even imagine how fast car gona rev with this setup
