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

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

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.
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
do you mean dc2 type-r & dc2 vtir are different?
stolen from ebay (U.S)...:
EXEDY STAGE 1 RACING CLUTCH KIT 08800B
CLUTCH:
Part Number: 08800B
Torque Capacity: 251 ft-lbs
Disc O.D.: 220 mm
Spline Teeth Count: 24

are you by chance running a b18b block from the GSI? or maybe a cable box?

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
it should all be the same, i used the same type clutch in B18B, B18C and B20V all interchangeable
:D
sweeeet!!!
I just bought one of those. Hope it goes on okay coupled with my spoon flywheel...Quote:

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

lol yea... I noticed that too... however note the disclaimer that says "parts may not look exactly the same"
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
be aware that a lot of ebay clutches from the u.s are fake.
oh NOW you tell me!
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 ...
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
Mines still in postage as well.. i paid like 330aud
scored!! :thumbsup:
mine was 360aud landed
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 =)
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.
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
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:Quote:
