Well im in the market for a new clutch since I have upgraded my old setup. (Well whole new setup really) I don't know how much power it will make but I am using a HE351. I am looking to get high 300 to low 400. I am currently looking at southbend clutch they have 4 stages full face or 6 puck. They rate them in torque capacity. 3 is at 440 and 4 is at 475. I know I won't be at 475 but just don't know how well they hold up. Im just looking for a little input before I drop $500 on a new clutch. Also 91 Maxima VG. Anyone got any advice?
Have to click catalog up top then select Nissan Maxima don't know why won't give me a direct link.

I use to have a southbend in my 94 supra turbo. It was rated at 550 rwtq. I was pushing about 500 hp and 430 tq to the ground with no problems. The thing drove like stock, with hardly any difference in pedal pressure. I would say southbend is very accurate on their tq figures and I had very good dealings with them.

Good luck with your choice, hope it helps.

 

I just installed one with my VQ35 swap, but I am no longer boosted. I have the stage 3 clutch. Pedal feels like stock, and I have zero chatter. I haven't quite reached 500 miles, yet, so I have not tried beating on it. I did roll into full throttle in first yesterday and lit up both tires with no slippage (quiafe ftw). When I called and spoke with them several months ago, they said they could make a pressure plate with higher clamping force, and that is what they recommended for a boosted application. If I remember correctly, there was no extra charge. So far I am happy with it, we'll see how it does at the track though.

It is a reworked Excedy clutch:

 

maxmaxima91 has one in his 91vg turbo, the first one he had slipped badly at the track, not sure which model it was, but they gave him a more aggressive one and it holds up fine to his 400+ lbft of tq.

 

awesome clutches !

 

So how long have you guys had them and power?

 

I know these are the **** in the diesel world!

 

yea i heard about them alot. Just havnt heard much with maxima owners and theses clutchs

 

I have a stage 3 on my boosted 3rd gen. Great pedal feel and no slip even after three road coarse track days and twice at the dragstrip.

 

Be ordering mine for my 3rd gen hopefully within couple weeks. Won't know how it holds till spring unfortunately. Nismomax any pics and specs of your setup? Time?
