Clutches

l'm in the unfortunate-fortunate situation of having something in my clutch assembly broken and will replace the whole clutch kit (and flywheel if sensible) while it's open.

And this brings me to the problem. l don't feel like just buying another OEM set but as my car is bone stock otherwise it feels like overkill to get something aftermarket. My car can give 190HP and l'd like to lift it close to 300HP but not much above that. l also want to casually track my car. So would it make sense to get some "stage 1" clutch?
How about switching into a slightly lighter flywheel?

The 2ZZ-GE engine revs up to near 9k so l don't know if a more responsive flywheel would be in place here.

thx4reading senpai shit nigga

If you think you'll be making that power, as in really, not just three CAIs duct taped together, then yeah, go for the clutch.
It'll feel more like an on-off switch though.

"stage 1" as in a stage 1 exedy clutch is going to feel very close to OEM since its just a slightly beefier organic disk. It might not even be rated for 300 crank so you'd wanna double check that before buying.

And since you plan on doing other mods, put a light weight flywheel in there while you have it apart. I have a caffenieted engine as well that revs to 9k and I have a 9 lb flywheel. I can build revs a little quicker than it use to

>"stage 1"

I fucking hate this meme

>So would it make sense to get some "stage 1" clutch?

How about you read what the clutch you want is rated at and buy one based on your goals

>2zz-ge
celica t23?

Yeah

l used the meme-shield quotation marks. What l mean by 'Stage 1' is just the first step up from OEM.
ln Exedy terms this could stand for the Stage 1 or 2 kit. Exedy might not even fit the Celica driveline.

My question just is that would it be a good idea to now go from stock to "next step from stock" while l have to do something to the clutch assembly anyway instead of refitting another OEM clutch for my (future) uses.

It surprises me how much Veeky Forums can find out from just a comment

I just love the Celica

should it be able to rev up to 13k red and like 10k normal?

>stage 1
Who the fuck talks like this? And what the fuck is stage 1 anyway?
