How much power can the EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch hold on an FD3S RX-7?

EXEDY rates the 10802 at 275 lb-ft of torque capacity at the wheels and 343 lb-ft at the flywheel, from a clamp load of 2,093 lb. That suits an FD with bolt-ons and modest boost. For a single-turbo conversion or raised boost, the heavy-duty 10802HD is rated at 348 lb-ft at the wheels.

Do I need a counterweight with an EXEDY lightweight flywheel on the FD?

Yes, when the EXEDY ZF01 flywheel is fitted. The 13B rotary is balanced through its flywheel, and Turn 14 lists adapter and counterweight N351-11-521 for the FD3S with the ZF01. With the factory flywheel retained, the 10802 bolts up without an extra counterweight.

Is the EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit good for daily driving in an RX-7?

Yes. The EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch uses a sprung hub and organic facing, so engagement stays smooth and close to the factory feel. Pedal effort rises slightly with the 2,093 lb clamp load. Owners who commute in an FD and drive it hard at weekends are the buyers EXEDY designs this stage for.

What is the difference between the 10802 and the 10802HD?

Both are EXEDY Stage 1 organic kits for the FD3S with a 236 mm disc. The 10802HD clamps at 2,653 lb against 2,093 lb, which lifts the wheel rating from 275 to 348 lb-ft, and Turn 14 lists its spline as 23 tooth, 26.4 mm. The HD version also brings a firmer pedal.

How hard is it to replace the clutch on an FD3S RX-7?

It is a transmission-out job, and the FD packaging around the power plant frame makes it slower than most rear-drive cars. A rotary specialist or an experienced home mechanic with a lift is the right fit. Check the flywheel and its counterweight while the gearbox is out, since they balance the engine.

Description

EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for FD3S Mazda RX-7

EXEDY’s Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for FD3S Mazda RX-7 gives the sequential twin-turbo 13B a 236 mm organic disc and 2,093 lb of clamp load, rated by EXEDY at 275 lb-ft at the wheels. For an FD kept close to stock, or one running exhaust, intake and a modest boost increase, it restores a fresh, positive clutch without the chatter of a metallic disc.

Design and Performance

EXEDY quotes 431 lb-ft of clutch torque capacity and 343 lb-ft at the flywheel for this kit, from a ductile-cast pressure plate clamping a 236 mm disc. The organic facing rides on a sprung hub, so take-up through first and second stays progressive, which matters on a rotary whose torque arrives late and builds quickly once the second turbo joins in.

Features

Organic disc with sprung center hub
Ductile-cast pressure plate, 2,093 lb clamp load
Progressive engagement suited to the FD rotary
Pedal effort slightly above the factory clutch
SFI 1.1 compliant, according to EXEDY

Specifications

Disc diameter: 236 mm

Applications

Notes

When the EXEDY ZF01 lightweight flywheel is used, Turn 14 calls for adapter / counterweight N351-11-521
The heavy-duty EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit for the FD3S RX-7 raises clamp load to 2,653 lb for higher-boost builds

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
