well ive been reading up quite a bit on this forum for a while now and have been educating myself with lots of the rotary business. one question i was wondering is how certain clutches are holding up to these power adders ie) turbos and superchargers.

im currently looking to buy an rx8 myself ina month or so. i plan on getting the petit supercharger kit for it and one thing ive wanted to do is stick with the mazdaspeed parts BUT do they hold up is the real question. they make that flywheel and clutch you can get. does anyone have any experience or know of someone who has with it?

what clutches are considered to be good quality?

im a very knowledgeable piston engine person but am a beginner with rotarys and mainly its the limitations and reliability of certain parts. like i said ive been reading up a lot on them, i know how they work etc etc but am unaware about the transmission and how it holds up.

any information given i consider useful so please feel free to comment. id greatly apreciate it

(edit: yay first post! )

 

The stock clutch is actually pretty good (it's made by Exedy) and it holds 300-rwhp just fine really.

Unless you plan on going past 325ish rwhp then you can stick with the OEM clutch.

 

You can do a twin turbo swap from the 93-95 RX-7's, it's a direct swap and will get you to at least 300whp.

 

i have 10,0000 miles on my Pettit supercharged car, on stock clutch (With 40k total) and its fine......
