Suparoo,

The only word of caution when installing a heavy cable clutch is make sure you beef up the clutch pedal cam.
Pull out the clutch pedal and right at the top is a cam shaped piece of metal only supported on one side with a small piece of plate, this extends up above the main pivot tube.
This cam is what operates the lever on the end of the cable and it WILL bend and twist away over time.
You need to add another plate on the other side of the cam, weld it back to the main pivot tube the same as the original one. I just used a small piece of 3mm plate. This will support the cam on both sides and prevent it twisting away.
Simple mod that will save grief later.

So really how much pressure do i need?

How well will a stock 450kg EJ22 clutch hold up to a stock RS engine?

If it wont do, i'll get it re-pressured to the turbo level

Anything less that factory std for the engine will imho end up being a pita at some point...
If it was me i would get the preasure plate resprung to the equiv of the factory turbo preasure.

running turbo engine? use turbo clutch pressure.
Rocket science
