1. how many hp / whp can handle stock clutch?

2. can we use OEM (for example) Mitsubishi clutch disk (and maybe pressure plate) from Turbo Eclipse or Evo?

3. I want to run about 180-200 whp, what clutch is good (and cheap) for me? can I go with stock flywheel + OEM pressure plate?

IIRC, stock clutch usually starts getting problems around 180-200whp. I doubt the turbo Eclipse clutch discs would fit... however there are some really cheap, good clutches on EBay.

I'm sure people who have went through several clutches (Jaws? tongue.gif) can tell you some good ones.

To use the eclipse clutch.. other modifications must be made..

Your system must be converted from a pull, to a push type system. I am not sure what flywheel must be used, or what must be done to the stock one in order to acoomidate the mitsu clutch.

as far as clutches...

Spec usually sux for people..

I had clutchmaster as well but learned their hyundai clutch isnt as reliable. I had one fall apart on me...

I currently have a cluthnet clutch thats handling abuse just fine.

3. I tried a VHR clutch with an OEM pressure plate (180whp) and it only lasted a few months. You'll start slipping once you hit boost after a while.

Get something that will last because trans work is always expensive. Get in on my VHR group buy fing02.gif
