hey everyone,

just wanting to know what are people's opinions and recommendations for myself to get a new clutch for the 1z?

I have been researching, and it seems the Exedy Sports Tuff HD with Organic Disc is a common choice... I have been to my local clutch specialist and they informed me that for the applications I require (Daily driven and fun on weekends) that I should go with an Exedy Sports Tuff HD with Cushion button clutch and allowable slip for traffic. (Part No. TYK-6932 HDCB)

Thoughts on this?

Also need to know, what are the thoughts and experiences of those with a lightweight flywheel? mountains hard to get up? problems at idle? less driveable? etc...

Thanks guys,

Evo

a button clutch is the last thing you want. Clutch supplier must have rocks in their head.

Buy a 2zz organic heavy duty kit. This is basically a 1zz organic "Super heavy duty" kit.

It's what pippy runs on his turbo 1zz without issue, and that makes a lot more power and torque than your engine.

I'd stick with the stock flywheel, if you do go with a light flywheel I'd steer clear of the fidanza alloy items and go with a chromoly one instead. You shouldn't experience any noticable idle issues or trouble going up hills.

You might find it's cheaper to buy a kit from MWR in the states compared to the prices you're likely to be charged locally for a HD 2zz exedy kit.

Hey EVO

I have to agree with CHA54. Of all the stories I have heard about button clutches nobody I know has been happy with the drivability on the road. Great for the drags but that is about all. If you want some really good advice call Nick's Performance Clutches in Archerfield. He knows everything that is worth knowing about clutches and related stuff. He actually manufactures flywheels and multiplate clutch kits for all sorts of cars but I do like the 2ZZ HD suggestion though. I would think that to be an easier option all round.

Hope all goes well for the swap

Regards

i deal with doug at NPC on a daily basis through work buying clutches and highly recommend buying from him, when you are talking to him also mention upgrading to the TRD clutch cover it will give u a more predictable pedal feel(slightly heavier though),and also i sent you a pm about some other things to mention to him if your interested

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Did you end up getting a head unit for the Rav4? I'm thinking of purchasing one from eBay for my 2015 Rav4.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation).
