well im 100% confident that about a month after driving it.. your clutch will go.. 130k is impressive, but the most i think ive seen stock clutch last personally is 120k

 

I am looking only for personal or direct experience in this matter not speculation.

 

I think it depends on how you drive and shift. My old 94 Prelude VTEC had over 132K miles on the stock clutch before I sold it. It was still pulling and no slipping.

I have a CTSC with the stock clutch on my S2K. Have only 40K miles on it and the last 8K with the supercharger. No problems. But I launch like a granny and only drive it aggressively at the track.

 

change it now or change it later, but its gonna get changed one way or another. everything we are telling u is speculative. i cant beleive theres people that are FI on stock clutch when mine wouldnt hold NA power.

but there are people that have done it. if yoru gonna do the clutch install yoruself, then its not gonna cost u more money for the install after the fact. but it will cost you more time. if your gonna pay someone to do the install, they will charge u more if you have a blower in the way, plain and simple.

get over yourself

 

Stock clutch, stock boost for daily driving will work fine for a while. I ran this way for 3-4k with the only slipping at sustained high rpm on the track or dyno. Any more than stock boost and I say good luck.

I hate making blanket statements about other people's experiences but I really have a hard time believing anyone runs any serious boost with the stock clutch. Could you run through the gears with 350hp and nearly 300ft/lbs of torque without slipping? that's a big maybe. Drop the hammer and go WOT a few times or throw it on a dyno and I say no way....not possible....stock pp will not hold 300 ft/lbs of torque for any sustainable period of time.

Also - if the s/c is not already installed, do yourself a favor and do the clutch first. It'll give you a chance to prep or replace the flywheel, put in a pp you know will hold, and take hours off the install time vs. doing it after the s/c is installed.

BTW - all opinions were derived from first hand experience!

 

Sorry if your feelings are hurt that I try and get information from people that have actually done what I'm asking about not spouting out speculation with 0 experience. Before my post you believed a stock clutch in a S2000 couldn't even last 132,000+ miles so anything you say is right out the window.

you can do it, just no hard launches and very slow redline shifting...
