    Stock clutch with stage 2 ecu flash

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Will it be okay for DD,tacking once a year, and the occasional 70 mph turn that has an advisory for 20 mph?

    I looked at replacement clutch kits and noticed the stage one and two clutches are hardly rated for the current hp or torque. I don't want to rub mine the wrong way and be stranded.

    Who has run the stock clutch with stage 2? What software? How many mines before and during? Did you replace?

    I want to know if I should be factoring in 800 dollars for a new clutch with the stock flywheel on top of the 1800 for the ecu tune.

    Thanks for input/ data.

    Stock clutch should be fine if you don't launch it ever

    Agreed...if you dont abuse it, you should be fine.

    I did several track days and countless spirited runs on stock clutch up to 85k kms.

    Awesome. I won't consider replacement unless I fry it then.

    Thanks!

    I have not slipped mine once in the time I've been tuned.
    It will last a long time. If it starts to slip on you it will be gradual - you not be stranded... and if you need to replace it there are a few attractive options.
    Nothing to worry about
