Stage 2+ clutch with stock pressure plate

[jnin]

Hi guys
I recently got a stage 2+ clutch kit for my BPT engine. The pressure plate is too big and it doesnt fit. Does anyone know the downside if I use the stock pressure plate and the stage 2+ clutch?

Thanks

less clamping force on the disk

Thanks mate
Will affect performance a lot?

[progt91]

just might be a little better than stock based on your clutch disc material but if you are making a decent amount of power you might end up with it slipping. cant say for sure since i dont know all the variables

[progt91]

judging by the size of your intercooler in your avatar you are making decent power. i wouldnt trust the stock pressure plate

The car will have around 300hp

So its not good to use the stock pressure plate...Do you know if the flywheel from the GTR is bigger? Because the clutch kit that I got is for the GTR
Thanks

Thanks for your help buddy
Guys does anyone knows if the GTR flywheel is bigger than the GTX flywheel?
Thanks

[Turpro]

IIRC..GTR and GTX is the same flywheel

[jnin]

thanks for that
I just checked with my mechanic and my flywheel says at the back BP05 so its from the BP engine. Do you know if they are the same with the GTX-GTR ones?
Thanks

[Turpro]

That's a N/A flywheel. Totally different

[jnin]

So it should have written BP26 at the back?
Thanks
