Description
The EXEDY Performance Clutch Kit – 1992–1993 Acura Integra addresses the clutch-service and performance needs of 1992–1993 Acura Integra, providing an EXEDY-based path for enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds with application-specific fitment.
Why EXEDY
EXEDY traces its clutch-manufacturing roots to Japan in 1923 and grew globally through the Daikin Clutch name. Today, EXEDY supplies OEM powertrain components while applying the same engineering discipline to replacement and competition clutch systems used in street, road-race, rally, drag, and other motorsports environments.
Purpose & Application
EXEDY's performance single- and multi-plate systems are intended to raise torque capacity and heat tolerance while matching the engagement characteristics to the car's intended use. Stage 1 uses an organic friction strategy for the most street-friendly behavior; Stage 2 moves to cerametallic friction for harder use; Hyper systems add dedicated flywheel and multi-plate architecture for substantially higher-output builds.
Choose the least aggressive configuration that comfortably covers the engine's torque and heat load. That approach normally gives the best balance of drivability, service life, transmission friendliness, and track durability.
Available Configurations
This parent listing contains multiple EXEDY configurations for the same application family. The differences below are functional and should be selected around torque demand, heat load, and acceptable engagement behavior.
| Configuration | EXEDY Part Number | Construction / Character | Torque Capacity | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 2 Cerametallic | 08950AP4 | Cerametallic performance disc. More positive/aggressive engagement. | Application-specific; higher than Stage 1 in many applications | Track-biased street cars and higher-heat or higher-torque builds |
| Stage 2 Cerametallic – Thick Disc | 08950A | Thick cerametallic disc. Aggressive, with added thermal mass. | Application-specific | Hard street/track use where repeated heat cycles and torque capacity take priority |
| Stage 2 Cerametallic – Thin Disc | 08900A | Thin cerametallic disc. Fast response; aggressive engagement. | Application-specific | Competition-oriented use where reduced disc inertia and quicker shifts are desirable |
How to Choose
The variants offered for 1992–1993 Acura Integra are not cosmetic choices: each changes friction behavior, thermal capability, clamp-load strategy, or plate count. Match the selection to actual engine torque, tire grip, vehicle weight, launch frequency, and street-versus-track duty rather than simply choosing the most aggressive option.
Technical Overview
- Clamp Load: Stage 1/2 covers are designed around roughly 40% higher clamping load than the genuine part
- Pedal Effort: Typical Stage 1/2 increase is approximately 20–35%, application dependent
- Flywheel Compatibility: Stage 1/2 generally use the OEM flywheel unless noted; Hyper systems include/require their dedicated flywheel
- Certification: EXEDY Stage 1, Stage 2 and Lightweight Flywheel products are SFI 1.1 certified
- Vehicle Application: 1992–1993 Acura Integra
- EXEDY SKUs: 08950AP4, 08950A, 08900A
Application-specific construction notes: Cerametallic friction.
Fitment note: Fitment should be verified against the exact drivetrain, not model name alone. Check year, engine, transmission, and any existing flywheel or EXEDY clutch-system part number before installation.
