I bolted my charger on at 13k miles....I now have 19k and some change and my clutch is slippin..was wondering about how long it lasted most of you with a stock clutch that went FI.

For me about 1 yr/ 4k miles until it started to slip from 3rd to 4th.

 

It's all driver dependant, not milage.

Some have gotten 50K+ with a SC anf a stock clutch, Others roast the stock clutch in a week.

 

2.5 years and almost 25K miles blown, nearly 40K total. Starting to slip but still driveable. You are the one in control.

 

I drive like a mad man

 

It's not how hard you drive. It's how you drive hard. Until you figure this one out, you'll just be burning up clutches, plain and simple.

 

hmmm... maybe with a SC'er you are the one in control, but with a turbo setup the stock clutch doesn't stand a chance if you put down some decent torque figures. At least this was my case. I brought my car to the dyno with 15k on the clutch and I baby the clutch, no dumps, etc, and by the 3rd pull it was slipping real bad. I would suggest to any future turbo guys to upgrade the clutch before you install everything twice like I did.

 

just curious why did you install turbo again, cant you just have the shop change your old to new clutch or once turbo is in, to install clutch it has to come off. I know engine has to drop a bit.

 

The stock clutch held up fine when I was using the stock pulley (5.5lb). At 70K, I went with a smaller pulley (10lb.), it started slipping and I replaced it with the ACT. I'm sure the stock clutch would of held up fine if I was still on the stock pulley.

 

My 94 Prelude VTEC with 185K miles is still on the original clutch. I'm hoping after my SC install, I can get that much in my S2K.
