Arrow What Clutch Should I Get?

Okay here's the thing I got a '91 Civic Si, it's got a D16A6 engine, I'm swapping a D15B2 tranny into it from my'91 Civic Dx.

What clutch should i use? the one for the D16 or D15?

I'm getting a brand new one so who makes good reliable clutches?

Reminder I have a heavy foot, I shift strong an fast

Once again it depends on your power goals. And you get your clutch and flywheel according to what transmission setup you have.

They are the same clutch.

If you plan on investing in a turbo kit and making those power goals you are going to NEED forged internals.

And your going to need a clutch that can handle the TORQUE, not the hp. Clutches dont give a flying fuck about hp numbers, its the torque that will make them slip.

Luckily if your looking for 250, you only need simple upgrades, Vitara pistons and some FJT custom length rods for the vitaras will get you a decent compression ratio and will be more than good up to 250 probably higher, but if you want more you will need to keep upgrading. I would start with replacing the head for a z6 or y8 one, but the y8 has some quirks when it comes to tuning so I wouldn't recommend it.

Your still not getting it. unless you are referring to 7-8psi on that specific turbo (whatever it may be, your likely looking at some ebay piece of crap) then 7-8 means jack crap. Here, ill do the work for you before you waste money and blow your damn block to hell.
