After finding out that the Alpine Supercharger is only pushing around 4psi at most, is it really necessary to upgrade to performance clutch or should the factory one hold up?

Also if upgrade is necessary would the Clutchmaster Stage 1 be alright since I'm running such low boost?

If you are going to bother to replace the clutch, I don't see the point in going with a stage 1. But if you do replace the clutch, you might want to think about the Fidanza Flywheel (only 7.5lbs) to try to regain some of the lost HP from driving the supercharger.

So far, the Elantra's clutch has held up quite well. But then again, It's making barely 150 ponies. I'd wait and judge it based on the performace of the setup after alpine has ONE MORE shot at it.

The stage 1 is identical to stock I think. Just go for the Stage 3.

Thanks for the info guys.
Guess, i'll have to wait till after the retune to find out what kind of power the SuperCharger will be making.

Will a worn clutch give lower hp readings on a dyno?

BTW...I just found out...I was under the impression that the Centerforce Stage 1 was only 20% or 30% over stock. I was mistaken.

Centerforce's "Stage 1" clutch has a CLAIMED 70% more holding power over stock. So a Stage 1 would do the trick and then some.

superchargers like nitrous

A worn clutch will prevent them from tuning it properly as when it is slipping it is removing some of the load to the engine.

He wants a Clutchmasters clutch though.

Thanks guys,

If the Centerforce clutch is touting 70% above stock what is the part# and pricing for the 98 Tib, Stage 1 Clutch from Centerforce?
