Tacoma clutches
Looking for a good upgrade for my '04 3RZ, what are some good non stock clutches being used for these trucks? Something that can hold some power. Eventually I will either turbo or supercharge this thing.
I've seen some staged f1 and xtd brands for cheap on ebay, and LC engineering has some staged setups for around $400. Any and all feedback on those and other brands would be awesome.

seriously.... nothing? Someone's got to have an opinion or some sort of experience with a clutch for this truck. any info about any clutch is better than nothing. Good and/or bad experiences is what I want to know.

How much horsepower we talking about?
The clutch for the 3RZ and 5VZ are the same, so unless you are planning on making a lot more than 200 horses I would stick with the stock one, or the Marlin clutch kit has 300 more ft/lbs of holding over stock.

Downey sells what they call A SuperClutch or a SuperClutchII system for your rig. I installed this clutch on my 96 4Runner with the 4 cyl and was very impressed. However, it did take about a week or a week and a half to get it settled to where it didn't engage right off the floor(I mean RIGHT off), so don't be discouraged if you experience the same. The specs on the clutch disc and pressure plate show that the assembly can handle the amount of force that your motor can, so unless you are running some serious power mods (turbo, supercharger, etc.) it will engage. My rig was built up for off-road use. But this clutch, in my opinion, was perfectly fine for around town use, and a confidence booster in the hairy stuff. You might also try lcengineering.com, they carry a variety of clutches and flywheels for your rig, so you can pick and choose which best fits your driving style.
