B series clutch & fly

[kraiye]

Just about to purchase exedy clutch and fidanza light fly wheel. Are these interchangeable among b16/b18/b20?

[Benson]

Yes all interchangeable (only the b-series cable type gearbox run a different clutch and flywheel)

[Limbo]

they are but the part numbers are different for the pressure plates.
I was told by a dealer it was prob due to the position of the pedal, not 100% sure but i had a friend who used the b18 in a b16 and it was fine

clamp load can be adjusted at clutch workshops mate.

Goodwork the exedy clutch + fidanza fly is a excellent combo.

just what i needed to hear

thanks guys :thumbsup:

i had massive problems with mine. i bought a fidanza flywheel which caused massive headaches... basically the flywheel you are replacing either has a step or no step

i fitted a SECO (made by Exedy) clutch with Fidanza aluminium flywheel and it would not engage gears... reason being that there was a step on the fidanza flywheel and my oem flywheel didnt... and because the fidanza aluminium flywheel is already so light, there was a danger of machining down the step.

i ended up having to pay for labour again, machining the OEM flywheel and had to sell off the Fidanza flywheel.

oh yea, mine was for a dc2... not sure if its the same for EM1s or not... prolly someone else would be able to confirm this for ya

keep us updated kraiye.

I've got a stepped flywheel(spoon) and an exedy clutch on the wish list, hopefully i wont have the same problem as the poster above.

[kraiye]

thanks johnny, very interesting info. sounds like you took one for the team ;)

i believe the b16's and b18's are pretty much interchangeable. a few people have said the exedy sports organic/stage 1 clutch (same thing... i think) and fidanza al fly is a good combo. i'm assuming this means it's been done successfully before - fingers crossed.

initially i didn't want such a light flywheel, was after more like a 10 or 12 pounder but... f*** it! lol.

will let ya'll know how it goes

type r gearboxes and dc2 run diffrent clutches

when i got my spoon clutch and lightend flywheel installed into my dc2 they wouldnt fit into the standerd box but slided in like a glove to the type r one so be carefull make sure you order the right clutch for the right gearbox...ohhh and btw nathing but positives from me ona lightend flywheel

[kraiye]

do you mean dc2 type-r & dc2 vtir are different?

one more question :)

does the b20 use the same size clutch and fly as the b16? i'll be looking at b20vtec down the track a bit.

[Limbo]

it should cos your bolting it to a b16/b18 box.
I can find out cos my friend used a excedy sports organic in his b20

[GSi_PSi]

it should all be the same, i used the same type clutch in B18B, B18C and B20V all interchangeable

[kraiye]

:D

sweeeet!!!

I just bought one of those. Hope it goes on okay coupled with my spoon flywheel...

[johnny5]

hahaha it was an expensive lesson learnt... but hey at least now i know rite? also make sure that you've got the right thrust/release bearing... the clutch supplier gave me the wrong part and I had to drive all the way to the main Exedy supplier to get the right one. it was a bitch of a day i can promise u that lol...

@CB7_owner: dude... ur stepped spoon flywheel should be ok as long as your oem flywheel as a step as well...

good luck! :thumbsup:

^looking at some pictures.. looks like most aftermarket flywheels for the b series are stepped anyways?

[johnny5]

lol yea... I noticed that too... however note the disclaimer that says "parts may not look exactly the same"

[Limbo]

all the B series flywheels are the same except for weight.
I run an ITR flywheel in my b16, run a b18c2 gearbox with a b18c7 LSD
They all fit together

[mnc]

be aware that a lot of ebay clutches from the u.s are fake.

[kraiye]

oh NOW you tell me!

[CB7_OWNER]

i know huh.... FML lol

I was looking on the exedy US site.. and looking at there "distributors" and the store i bought my clutch off is not listed...

Fingers crossed . That its actually genuine...for the price i paid, to good to be true ...

[kraiye]

have you actually received it yet?
how much did you pay for it if i may ask?

mine's still in postage

pm me if you like

[CB7_OWNER]

Mines still in postage as well.. i paid like 330aud

[kraiye]

mine was 360aud landed

[CB7_OWNER]

just checked mine, was actually 345aud..

Where did you buy yours from??

When your one arrives lets both take some photos, and compare if its the same =)

[mnc]

Sorry I didn't inform you guys earlier. Came across this thread when it was already to late =/ fingers cross for it being a genuine clutch.

[kraiye]

no worries.
thanks mnc :)


CB7 how long did it take yours to arive? i'm getting impatient (even though it's only been a couple days ;) ). i'm not enjoying the power downgrade from driving the missus' auto barina - but i am ejoying the phat bass from her sub :D

Can anyone who has bought a clutch/flywheel combo thru Ebay from the US and verified that its an orignal part, let us know what clutch kit abd what e-bay store you got it from. If we can build up a list of e-bay stores that sell the original equipment then it might save people from getting ripped off. Thanks in advance. Looking to get one soon for a B16

[CB7_OWNER]

Well i already got my kit.

I have yet to prove that its genuine though.. But all things lead to it is.. there is exedy badging on the pressure plate and clutch plate itself.

not a bad idea but i'll have to go against that because it's not fair to the traders on OH :thumbsup:

i think if you want cheap you have to do the work

[Paddy Honda]

Well Kraiye,
