Boost w/ stock clutch

[redline8200]

What will actually happen if I turbo my 99 si, with a stock clutch? I hear a lot of people talking about how they have to upgrade their clutch and I have no problem doing this I just want to know why?

Too much power for the stock ckutch....my buddies actually shatered!!! His sis laughed at him when he carried it into the house to show his dad in a baggie....LOL

yeah, the stock clutch wont be able to handle the torque

if the boost is kept low and u dont abuse the clutch too much, it should still last for a while. but ya i would plan on changing that out if u want a clutch to grab nice and hard

ditto...as long as you dont have massive amounts of hp stock is fine. I plan on keeping mine until it starts slipping. I am at 5.5 psi now and no slipping, but Im about to up to 10 psi, well see how that goes.

i guess it all depends on the feel of your current OEM clutch...i have to change mine on my SI when i boost because my clutch is already slipping as it is

im buying my kit soon, then saving up for a new clutch/flywheel right after. im only boosting 5-6 psi so im sure it will hold until then

just do it right and buy the necessary parts first.

Im boosting at about 5-6 right now, my car will get tuned soon then thats going to change but, even with it at 5-6 the clutch will still go might take just a little bit longer but it will go out
