      Yonaka is cheap stuff. South Bend is probably no better, at that price. I would avoid both.
      If you're not making over 200whp, an OEM replacement Exedy will do just fine, and won't break the bank. Step it up to a Stage 1 if you plan on making more power than that (a "better" clutch doesn't help anything if you're not making enough power to need it... in fact, it's worse.) If you want to use a lighter flywheel, I suggest going with Fidanza. Also inexpensive without being crap.

        I may end up going with exedy I was just wondering because all the dsm guys were bragging about how good south bend is. Do you all know of anywhere to get a cheap Fidanza flywheel from besides eBay?

          I've heard of South Bend, not in the Honda world however.

          Just get an Exedy. Great price and great quality.

            I run a south bend in my z. It utilizes a excedy disc and a modified pressure plate.

            You are good with what you ordered, as long as its not the autoparts brand you are good.
            What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

            You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

              I have a South Bend in my '94 Ford flatbed Powerstroke diesel. Best clutch you can buy for a 7.3l Powerstroke. I have pulled just over 24,000lbs with the 1944-5OFEK clutch kit which is rated for 475hp and 1000ftlbs. It ran me about a grand but was worth it.

              Can't say anything as for Honda's but in diesels they are awesome.

                I order the exedy. I just ended up coming across these clutchs and just thought I'd slide it by yall. I've had pretty good luck with exedy. Had a oem one in my old ls swapped ef. Didn't break it in Wright. Dogged the piss out of it and it held up forever until the boy I sold it to thought it was a race car and hit a house haha

                  Yeah I heard they were huge in the diesel world. I just found some reviews from people with them in Honda's and they said it reminded them very much of a act clutch kit

                    You were smart getting the Exedy. Can't go wrong.

                      I just wish I could afford a stage 1 or 2 but atm with getting the junk yard motor I've been throwing all my money at it. New seals. Gaskets. Timing belt and motor mounts got pricey quick! Also I decided to delete the ps and a/c on it. And am going to try to do a Simi wire tuck for the time being

                        Yeah, $300 for the stage one is quite a jump from the $100 that the OE clutch kit runs.

                        How did you delete PS? As for the rack?

                          I could not find any info on the rack but I cut the hoses close to it and wedged bolts in the lines to be sure no dust and junk get in

                            I've heard of many people looping the hoses. I want to delete the PS on mine possibly and just seeing what everyone else has had luck with. Let me know how it goes.

                              Will do. On my old cb7 I just cut the lines and drove about for 3 years like that and never had a issue
