In my mind, it seems there are some few adaptation for it.
I don't know what.
what adaptions?
cheap clutch, i though a standard nissan s12 one is good for 200bhp, i never had probs with my one
Its an S13 one which has the same part number as the S12 which would suggest it would be good for 200bhp
i didnt read it properly, so if a s13 has a stage 1 chip running 212.2bhp on the standard clutch dosent that mean a standard s13 clutch can cope with more than 200bhp as ive never heard of people changing clutches on a stage 1 chip.
Well yeah...I'm running 237 on a std clutch.
But will the pikey EBC cheapo clutch handle it was well as my exedy S13 one?

i didnt know you had a standar s13 clutch in it?
Yeah but it cost about double that EBC one. Apparantly the std S13 can be good enough for 270bhp, which I doubt as mine slips if I boot it in top gear.
i think with the power you have got you need to get some kind of triple plate clutch, maybe one like this will do

Yeah got the quadruple clutch on its way, but I'm worried it won't handle the power
I heard a standard S13 clutch was good for upto 250! your getting close to that now.
My standard S12 clutch is slipping now and I'm probably well below 200 brake!
my exedy started slipping @ 276bhp, the luk one is still holding in there at what i'd say is over 300bhp, but i think i smelt a bit of clutch today, so i think its only a matter of time that i'll need a paddle clutch, i'am thinking of using a slipper clutch on the fj engine, but at around £1500 i think i've got a lot of saving to do, these clutches are used alot in the states with 1000+bhp engines but with just about std gearboxes, so if i use the rb25 gearbox it should be ok as the slipper clutch feeds the power in.
EBC clutch is so shit it's funny
Liquidsmoke had one and it slipped at stg1 on his s13, get a quinton hazell (exedy)
luk all the wayon mine yet, well what can i say
my sotck clutch could barelt handle 190ft/ibs.... so i upgraded with a s14 unit that gave me a 110% over stock holding capacity
??????? totally different assembly with a different size plate????
personally I found the LUK kit was rubbish, I destroyed one in 15k with around 220bhp. the Exedy is much better for the same money. there is anow an RPS clutch for the CA that I've worked with SRB to have made
ahh not really... wait mine was for the ka24de....you guys all probably have the sr dont ya
not had any probs with my luk, but its not really been abused, the exedy that i had in started slipping on a lot less power than i'am running now, but there thinking back there was summet dodgy about that clutch, i payed a bloke for a new borg and beck, he fetched and fitted it, but when it came to change it, it had turned into an exedy clutch, could it have been a second hand unit that he had came by off one of his drift crownies, he new a few with s13's breaking, thinking back i would'nt put it past the two faced bastids
or is it the company
Steve Carter ran 286 brake on a Borg and Beck, Im prolly doing 210+ on a LUK (with 18's) and I think Preet (CA18DAT) hasnt had any problems with the LUK (or similar) I got him for £82
Make of that what you will
I get the feeling that this would only work if we could pursuade Ernest Borgnine to drive the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth hovercraft.
