Need clutch opinions for 13B-RE!
Well I am on the hunt for a clutch kit for my rebuilt Cosmo 13B-RE and I ran into the XTD stage 3 Clutch kit with a 6-puck sprung disc. I've searched numerous forums of other cars and so far all pretty good ratings, but I would rather have first-hand user's experience info on the XTD clutch from rotary owners. It says it could handle 318lbs of torque but for the price I'm just quite skeptical plus it wouldn't hurt just to save some money. So I would greatly appreciate any bit of help. By the way my setup is a rebuilt Cosmo 13B-RE with custom large street port, ported 3rd Gen housings, S5 rotors, 2mm apex seals, custom port-match, polished 3rd Gen throttle body, and Garrett Blowzilla turbo. If that helps any to fit my question.

It can handle the power it claims. Its a really harsh clutch though. I have that on my Stock RE motor. According to others it can handle 400+ WHP. I am probably making close to 300 tops, and I have slipped the hell out of it powerbraking to see if I could break my rear end before I swapped in the T2 rear, and its no worse for the wear.
