Is this going to be your 1st aftermarket/perf. clutch? Make sure you know the diff's. + pro's and con's of a full face, 3 puck, and 6 puck clutch disk, aswell as pressure plates. The 3 clutches pictured are all very different, that's all! Def. use a good throwout bearing too, nothing cheap, Nachi is good quality.

I would check to see if competion clutch makes their stage 2 for Accords and if they do I would recommend that. It is a full face disk made from carbon-kevlar and good for about 80% more power.

For turbo, I am thinking, a light flywheel will make the engine speeds drop faster and take you out of boost...

someone with boost and a light flywheel hop in on this.

as per the type of clutch, I suggest getting one that offers a light pedal feel...which one, not sure.

Exedy I have heard good things about: http://www.miata.net/products/perform/exedy.html

my first aftermarket clutch no really i had exedy stage1 before in my integra LS i like it much but since i'm going turbo i need something stronger, i don't know about ACT or F1, people tell me ACT is great . i dont want to put something in there that later on is going to get broken fast you know.

so can i keep the stock flywheel and put a better clutch and pressure plate? can that be better

[94b20gsr]

I would also recommend that you do not get a pucked clutch for your car, harsher(not better) engagement with reduced life compared to full face.

so exedy stage 1 and nachi throwout bearing i'll be straight for daily driver t-accord

does any body runs ACT? what is like on performance.
i'm not that ricer type of person but once in a while i burn some tires

this is my DD and project car i want to do it right from the bottom up.

thanks guys for the reply

get a competition clutch stage 3 or 4 with a lightweight flywheel. You wil find with a lower stage clutch and boost that you gonna eventually start slipping. always better to overkill the clutch cause you dont want to replace it twice which equals twice the $. wish i had done that instead of buying a comp clutch stage 4 then not even 500 miles later realize i need a twin disc. Comp clutch even their higher stages have near stock pedal feel and my stage 4 i had was a 6 puck sprung clutch but actually reacted very closely to a stock clutch and was extreamly user friendly!

Lightened flywheels are nice with boost because they help you build boost a bit faster.

i'm boosting at 5.8psi and i'm running a stage 2 competition clutch and lightened flywheel. $500 package deal from lightning motorsports.
