Need a clutch.... recomendations?
Well I burned out my clutch.... My engine is pretty much shot. So im going with a 1jz swap. What kind of clutch would you guys recommend that can hold the stock boost and possibly a future upgrade to around 350hp.
Or should I play it safe and get a low mileage mk3 tranny being that mine has 144k

If you're not going to exceed 350hp, I say get some good Redline transmission fluid and stay with the w58 transmission...it shifts much smoother than the R154 and 6 speed getrag supra transmissions. Regarding clutch, I only have experience with RPS and am not a fan. So, anything besides RPS please . I've heard good things about SPEC and Centerforce Dual Friction clutches fwiw..

well my rps street max has held up to a flogging at 9 psi on a t61 ... but if i could go back i would have gone r154 casue i plan to drop compression eventually... but other than a stiff *** pedal the street max has held up GREAt

I definately cant have a stiff pedal. I need something close to stock feel. My knees tend to get sore from all the shifting in the city.
Has anyone experienced some ebay clutches? I bought one last yr from there and it held up pretty well untill I burned it out (literally) lol I know how the forum is about ebay links but Its a stage 3 clutch for the sc.... Or the eClutchmaster for the supra.

Yea, I'm one of them, everything's stock on my car, so no extra power to test it, but I love being able to have a little fun with the clutch when I want to. Feels just like the stock clutch too, doesn't feel any stiffer on the leg.

I just had the RPS max plate and disc put in about 700 miles ago. The disc is Aisin and I'm pretty sure the presure plate was a painted Aisin too. I would not pay the money again for the RPS due to it probably being stock replacement. Plus the RPS does not come with the bearings.
