Mr2 Turbo Clutch

[Supremetronics]

Hi, im looking advice on clutches for my 1994 rev3 mr2 turbo. Will a genuine toyota be the best bet?

Thank you

No... get an uprated one, PM Jimlad he had a monster clutch on his REV1.

I had an Exedy organic racing clutch. Good for 450ft/lb of torque.

Was a good clutch. Very nice for driving around town/in traffic.

A stock clutsh is good for 300 flywheel hp :)

I wouldn't say so... more dependent on torque. Had a mate who easily ate his stock clutch at 300bhp.

He must be driving like a wally then, ive been running over 300 on my rev3 for nearly a year, and many of my customers are doing similar.

It really all depends on how many standing, drop clutch starts you're going to do. That's what kills clutches. In all reality, you'll be doing well through the rev range to generate enough torque to kill a 'new' standard clutch. A standard clutch with 300+ bhp will die quicker than an uprated one... but there is a compromise.

I'm using an RPS Max clutch, rated to 450lb/ft torque, but you know it in traffic. Great bite when it launches though.

If you need a clutch change, and you're considering mods in the future, you might as well uprate it now, as you'll know then that your clutch won't be the weak point. If you're keeping the car pretty standard, and won't be doing a lot of heavy launches then for drivability it's probably worth going stock.

When I drove Jims MR2 the clutch was either on or off.... it was great!!!

[Jimlad]

lol... it was a bit mad.

I remember stalling it a million times reversing out of the garage when I picked her up .... lol.

[Jesus]

I did the same. First time I got wheelspin in reverse!

[JappyBeast]

So, in conclusion, if you are paying all hat money to get a clutch fitted, you might as well pay a little extra for the kit!

[Jesus]

Yes if you plan on upgrades.

No if keeping pretty stock (<300bhp).

Drivability isn't as nice on uprated clutch. No need to ruin the drivability if keeping the car standard.
