What kind of power are you making?

Even a ported 12A or 13B (normally aspirated) should be fine with an Exedy Stage 1 clutch.

Seems like an extreme setup.

I've used the RB street/strip clutch disc and pressure plate and it was great. Lots of grip. Also used the CF DF and did not have issues with it either.

I'm running the Exedy Stage 1 with RB aluminum flywheel and it works great. I'm also in the middle of the Sonoran desert with very few hills to have to worry about slipping the clutch a lot to do hill starts, though. Now that I've been driving it 2 years, no signs of slippage, and it's light enough to make the car a lot more fun to drive,

A N/A rotary does not really make very much torque at all.

Probably about as much as an older Toyota Camry.

Any more clutch than a street clutch is just asking for longevity, drive ability, and noise issues.

The Exedy clutch is nice, it is OEM quality made in Japan.

I run that same clutch on my SP 12A.

The centerforce pressure plate used with an OEM style disk like the Exedy or Valeo works really well. In fact, centerforce uses Valeo brand parts. Just be sure to match up the disk center spring section with the opening in the pressure plate's friction surface as some were not fully compatible due to ID vs OD size differences.

There are two official sizes for the sprung center on clutch discs. Some had a large diameter and some were small. Exedy used to use the large diameter but have since changed over to the small size which makes them compatible with pretty much all pressure plates made for these cars, in 215mm and 225mm.
