D16 Turbo Clutch Recommendations

[imported_HyperHonda]

I've had my turbo for a while now on my 2000 civic ex. The factory clutch didn't last long after the install, so, per Alamo Autosports recommendations I replaced it with a Clutchmasters Stage 3. I also threw in a 8lb. Fidanza aluminum flywheel, since I was going to be right there anyways. Well the Clutchmasters lasted about 15,000 miles, and it's time again to replace it. I was very happy with it except about how long it lasted, I was wondering if any of you all had a better approch that you or a friend took. A clutch that has been on the car for a while, but has had great success! I was going to enter a show this weekend(for the first time in about a year), but this leaves my little honda stranded in the garage until about 3 weex, until the next stage 3 arrives. Help if you can and thank you.........

how many pounds of boost are u pushing that clutch shouldnt of went out that fast!

ACT Xtreme pressure plate with a full faced disc.

why do you say , that??

[dubcac]

Most people I know that are boosted and running clutchmasters/exedy clutches grenade them. They all switched to ACT, and still going strong. I wouldn't recommend a pucked clutch disc for street use, they like to break pucks off. The Xtreme pressure plate will provide more than enough clamping power for your application.
