Clutch and flywheel kit
Hello, I have just purchased a complete manual swap kit for my automatic 93 rx7. Although there is a clutch included with the swap it is pretty old and looks to be a no name brand. I was wondering if you all had any suggestions on which clutch and flywheel to get?
Currently, Ive got 99 spec turbos, down pipe, and exhaust. Ive also got a large smic intercooler ready to go in, And will soon be getting my car tuned on either an adaptronic or pfc which I have no yet purchased. At which time I will also install a midpipe to get rid of the cat.
I need something good enough to support those mods and preferably better in case i decide to go single turbo down the line. Also should I get a light weight flywheel? I already have the auto counterweight so would I use that if I decide to use a lightweight flywheel?

ACT , loved it on my last FD and is waiting to be installed on my current.
They make a clutch+flywheel kit as well but i bought them separately. You can choose either streetlite (12lbs) or prolite (10lbs) for the flywheel. I believe stock is 15-14.
Good well into the 400's hp wise (correct me if I am wrong!).
People like exedy as well, but I have no experience.
Another option is Bonez, which I believe is re-branded ACT, for much cheaper (iirc). get it from rx7 dot com

Stock is 22lbs, ACT streetlite is 13.9lbs, since you already have an automatic, you will not need the rear counterweight.

If your 'kit' is used, consider replacing the clutch fork. They have been known to fail with age, especially with a stiffer aftermarket pressure plate.
I wouldn't go any lighter than ACT's street-lite flywheel if your car will be mostly street-driven. They also make a 'Pro-lite' which is lighter still.
Not a lot of experience with others, but I've been happy with my ACT Street/Strip. ~ 70k miles with no complaints.
Go through the Stickys in this section regarding boost creep before tossing the cat. A better option IMO for a street car might be a resonated mid-pipe or even a hi-flow cat... Downpipes & Midpipes (93+ RX-7)
