I have an 88 GXL thats becoming a turbo car. I'm putting in a j-spec motor from a local importer. My question is what clutch would i need. I'm 90% sure i need a clutch for a turbo II not a n/a. I'm going to use the tranny from the gxl for the time being. Thanks for any info.

 

are you talking about buying a good aftermarket racing clutch? or just a everyday clutch for a gtu tranny?? im buying a act 6 puck with a extream PP this week, if you want a good performance clutch then thats what i would get, at www.optionsautosalon.com they have them for about 345$

 

keep in mind that the clutches in turbos and NA's are different diameters. so you need to get a clutch to go with whatever tranny/flywheel you will be using.

ACT is good

 

You need to buy a turbo clutch and also get a turbo drivetrain if you dont have it. The N/A drivetrain is already weak enough in N/A form...turbo power will tear up that drive train with the quickness...the clutch will be the first thing to pop then the tranny. -Gabe

 

I have the ACT clutch and I love it. I wouldn't go with anything else.

 

does anybody like the centerforce clutches??? like the dule friction??

and also where can ya buy act clutches and how much cnd are they???

 

Click on the link at the top of the page for RX7store.net. They have ACT clutches and they are cheaper than retail.

 

OK i need an everyday clutch to get around while i finance the rest of the swap. It will have an n/a transmission and a turbo II flywheel? i will need a clutch for a Turbo or a n/a? I understand its not recommended but thats not what i'm asking. I just need a clutch that can work temporarily. Eventually i will be getting an ACT but now i need something that will work for a few months.

 

Ok better question, if i use a non turbo tranny can i use a turbo flywheel, or do i need to use a non turbo flywheel as well?

 

fly wheel has to match tranny, n/a to n/a, tll to tll, so if u r using the n/a tranny u need the n/a flywheel and clutch

my qustion is can i just order a 240mm PP and a 240mm 1:23 spline disk and use the RB 12lb flywheel with a NA tranny? what keeps you from mix maching flywheel and tranny?

 

Would have to agree... ACT Xtreme Stage II is what i got for 375... a lil excessive but oh well. Still fun!

ok fellers, like i said in an earlier post the flywheel and clutch diameters are different between TII and NA.

a TII flywheel has a different diameter than a NA one, a TII flywheel wouldn't really work with the NA starter now would it.
So, like Rx_7_driver said, the tranny and flywheel must match.

there is no problem bolting a NA flywheel to a TII engine just make sure that it is the same series S5, S4

Thank you for your time.
