Max HP for oem Exedy clutch

[aziankingz]

Anyone know what the maximum horsepower and/or torque the Exedy oem clutch can take? Would it be functional (with no slipping) at about 200-220rwhp?

Stock KA clutch?

Well, first things first - A clutch is rated by torque, not HP.

I had a T3 super-60 on a KA, making maybe ~220rwhp, 235-240rwtq...and it didn't even work for the test drive after the turbo install.

+200ft/lbs..and you'll need to upgrade the clutch.

Based on you saying "about 200-220rwhp"...I'll guess you're using a T25? If so, it'll spool QUICK, and make good low-end TQ...and the clutch WILL slip.

Its a holset h1c - i guess ill have to put in a new clutch. The reason I am asking is because I put in the exedy clutch about a year ago and only put about 600 miles on it..

For some crazy ass reason my excedy oem clutch is holding my ka-t's power (200-220 ish) just fine. Can't figure out why... No complaints though :P

Once again its about torque and not HP. Depends also if you rail it.... OEM clutch is not going to hold 200ft/lb.... A stage 2 won't hold more than 275-300..... if it does, it will wear out quick...

Do it right, RPM Max Turbo Street disc... 300 ft/lb of torque at 4900RPM no problem for 2 years....

280 ft-lbs on Exedy Stage 1 for 1 year. No problems. I'm about to put 300+ through it and we'll see what happens...maybe it will force me to go to the Tilton setup.
