Best aftermarket clutch for tuned Integra A-Spec

[pho69]

Hey everyone

new to the aftermarket clutch game. I have a 2023 Integra ASspec 6speed manual with Remark exhaust and Ktuner Pherable tune.

I have been loving the extra power with the pherable tune. Running map 2. However I would love to run map 3 more often but read you should upgrade to a stronger aftermarket clutch.

did some research but not sure what brand to get or what’s best for my setup. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!

Back in the day we ran stage 3 exedy clutches. I could kick a football 80 yards after driving that after a week.

I'll probably go with the ACT HD street kit which was great for many yrs on my last car but I would still like to hear more about our other 1.5T options

RV6 flywheel let's you use any FK8 clutch, whether OEM or aftermarket. I don't have first-hand experience but it's what I'll go with if/when it happens.

That’s what I went with. So far feels almost like stock clutch. Haven’t had any issues and now I run stage 3 boost on my tune all the time when I drive.

Nice, S3, that's what I'm looking forward to as well. Started getting slippage running Phearable stage 2.
I don't recall offhand if Stage 1 is much more than the stock tune? It's been a decade since I replaced a clutch and flywheel so have no idea
what's an approximate install cost now. TIA

I had a shop do it. I think they charged me about $400-500 for install, it took them around 4-5 hours

And yes I’m also running Phearable stage 3 as well

$500 seems pretty reasonable in H-Town. Do they have DFW location?

 

[Xcfool]

I got a quote from a tuner shop in Ftw in which they had labor at 9 hrs for $1,485! Seems very excessive.

To clarify that's for a ACT clutch/pressure plate/flywheel install. But adding the FW to an install shouldn't add but a little time unless I'm mistaken.
