I just got a competition stage2 clutch and lightened flywheel and i love it. I'm all motor with all the bolt ons and its amazing.

 

Exedy makes the OEM clutch for the 8thgen Si and their Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit paired with their Flywheel is a great option. Slightly stiffer pedal feel, but definitely one of the preferred clutch setups for street use and even light track use. It will hold most power setups as well.

 

I'll never go to a competition clutch again. Pressure plates are rediculous. There are several of us here who have broken clutch pedal brackets while using CC stg 2's

Clutchmasters is all I'll ever use anymore. Using an FX400, and the pedal effort is easily HALF that of the CC stg 2.

 

****, I just got a CC Stage 4... but I'm also over 400whp so it's whatever. Got a great deal on it. What's a good lightweight flywheel? I've been searching but not much comes up

 

When my cc stg2 was put in I really didn't notice any more pressure or effort needed to press the clutch. Now when the em1 cmc went that itself added a lot of pressure to the pedal.

 

I was gonna say the same thing. I noticed a little more pressure when I first drove it after the install but after wearing it in it dosent feel much stiffer. I have the omni cmc but didn't put it in because I was afraid it would be way to stiff with both but now I'm debating on installing it. I havent decided yet but if you see a fs thread by me for one you'll know my decision.....lol.

 

Clutches have torque ratings, with the torque that you'll most likely produce with your supercharger in the long run would probably exceed the torque capacity of a stg 1 clutch.

 

I have ct supercharger with exedy stage2 clutch and act streetlite flywheel and I love it ,recommend to anybody.if you really want a good clutch go with exedy or clutch masters there the best,I would never buy any other clutch

 

I have the Exedy stg 2 with 9lb flywheel and love it! I decided to go ahead and get it even though my torque is only at 163 right now and I have less then 50xxx miles. I figured when I get my engine built up more towards 190-200tq. goal I wont have to deal with another clutch (unless I get stupid with my current mods) On top of the clutch I have the TWM full assembly kit and it just made shifting so much better.

 

im runnin spec stage 3+ with an aluminum flywheel. besides chattering a little bit, its amazing. coupled with the em1 cmc the clutch feel is almost like stock, but just feels more confident, its hard to explain, but easily one of the best i have driven.

 

Aluminum flywheel seems the way to go. Anyone know how much the oem flywheel weighs?

 

i think its something like 23 lbs

 

Exedy stage 2 and exedy 9lb flywheel i ran comp stage 4 and clutchmaster fx300 and i have to say the exedy is by far the best clutch of them. Import dps has these clutch and flywheel on a deal u cant resist

 

I can do the Exedy Stage 2 Clutch Kit and the Exedy Lightweight Flywheel for $670 shipped to the Continental 48 U.S.

 

I'm up for the buy as long as it's the Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch
Thick Disc. Let me know what the next steps are. Thanks!

 

Yes it is the Stage 2 Cerametallic with the thick disc. I will PM you with purchasing instructions.

 

wud that set up be good for i/h/e or should i be super or turbo charged. im looking for a new clutch now but im goin all motor. lemme know thanks

 

That setup will work fine with i/h/e it just may be more than you are going to need, but it certainly won't hurt to have it. You will be perfectly fine with the Exedy Stage 1 Clutch. PM me if you would like a quote.

 

I went to a shop to ask what would be a good clutch for my DD 07 fg2 I have I/H/E. They told me an Exedy stage 1 with an RSX type S ACT street light fly wheel 11 lbs. Im not sure why the fly wheel has to be for an RSX?

 

it doesn't. our cars have the same flywheel.
exedy says 02 and up civic si's need them but only the ep3's need to change over to a different flywheel.

 

Just to clear it up.

the OEM FD2 flywheel is 11 lbs

the FA5/FG2 OEM flywheel is EXACTLY 15.0 lbs.

the best flywheel to get is the lighest one you can buy.

which is the competition clutch ultralite flywheel @ 8.4lbs of chromoly steel goodness.

im up for the buy also for the Stage 2 Cerametallic with the thick disc and with the flywheel combo pack for 670.

 

I PMed you.

 

Im looking into getting this clutch 06-11 Civic Si Competition Clutch Stage 2 -Street Series - Carbon Kevlar- 80372100 with an ACT street light fly wheel. What do you guys think about this clutch ? I have I/H/E

 

i just got this clutch installed with a comp clutch street light flywheel and i love it,it revs hard and the clutch grabs really nice

 

I have had them all and will put the OEM Honda iron flywheel back in my car the next time the tranny is out.

"Best" is such a subjective term, especially on a street car.

 

i'll tell you now, i went back and forth from stock fly to light back to stock.

I miss the light flywheel tremendously.

 

What is it that you miss about it?

 

The rev dropping, the "let's go NOW" feeling of it.

the k20z3 has a heavy balance shaft oil pump, the rsx engines do not. So putting the lightweight flywheel in gets rid of the rest of the rev hang (which is STILL present even with i/h/e and flashpro.

The car also feels like it has more low end torque with the light flywheel, whether it did or not is irrelevant because it felt like it did, basing my judgements on stock vs lightweight since i've had both and gone back to stock.

Drivability is definitely somewhat compromised, it's going to take more throttle to take off, but it's NOT hard to drive. With a lot of people in the car it might be hard to do a hill start, but it's not impossible or anything.

 

Are there any drivability issues or longevity issues with a really light flywheel?

 

Longevity? No.

Drivability? Yes.

 

I cannot comment on the rev hang-thing, which I have never experienced, but I do not care for the lightweight flywheel (on my daily driver) for both its fussiness when parking or parallel parking in tight spaces as well as its noisiness, since I can loudly hear the clutch springs vibrating, due to all the cutout holes in the flywheel.

Also, I find that the faster rev's do not really equate to a faster car. The engine just winds up faster. I doubt the car actually accelerates any more quickly.

Again, just my 2-cents.
