What Clutch should I buy for my R154?

[wardog]

SUPRASTEVE You don t need to spend 400-500 dollars on a clutch for your needs. I have been using my STOCK TOYOTA PRESSURE PLATE , AND EBAY 6 PUCK DISK FOR OVER 2 YEARS. No problems or slipping what so ever at 430rwhp and 430 rwtq on a ct26-60 trim 550cc and 18psi ALL DAY EVERY DAY . So for your needs this set up will work great for you. Here is what you need...

TOYOTA 7MGTE PRESSURE PLATE $75
TOYOTA THROW OUT BEARING $40
TOYOTA PILOT BEARING $13
EBAY 6 PUCK CERAMIC DISK for $70 shipped or if it makes you feel better get an ACT 6 PUCK DISK for around $140 shipped. Good luck and spend your money wisely .

The problem with eBay parts is that you don't always get the same thing as what someone else got, and sometimes quality control is widely varied.

For driveability, I'd still recommend a stage 2 kit, like Driftmotion's stage 2 kit.

Of course it's up to you as to how to spend your money.

I'd probably second the action clutch stage 2.

Even though I probably wouldn't buy it again, the spec stage 3+ in my car has been taking a fair amount of abuse with zero problems. It also has no chatter since its still a full disc.

Hey Medical. yeah I wanted to buy the Stage 3+ in the first place but thought it was over kill plus its like 100 bucks more than the stage 3. Little did I know about chatter on pucked clutches. I think I'll put it up for sale to get a 3+. For now I think I'm just going to go all stock. Theres no sense in buying more stuff thats expensive. I need to get my Supra back on the road.

OH SNAP! I have a question! Since I have the Stage 3 clutch from spec, couldn't I just buy the stage 3+ clutch disc since the pressure plates are the same on all stages for spec. I'm not sure if they are the same but it seems like it atleast for the mk3 turbo. http://www.jscspeed.com/catalog/Toy...Clutch_Kits_for_87_92_Toyota_Supra_Turbo.html

You would think so. Maybe try calling or emailing the company to see if the pressure plate is the same. I'd probably go with the Spec Stage 2+, which on paper still has a ton of room for overhead for a 7M build.
