Description
Designed around the drivetrain package used in 1990–1991 Acura Integra L4, the EXEDY Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit – 1990–1991 Acura Integra L4 is intended for drivers prioritizing enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds and correct EXEDY component matching.
Why EXEDY
Founded in Japan in 1923, EXEDY built its reputation as Daikin Clutch before becoming one of the best-known global names in clutch and driveline engineering. Its background spans OEM supply and purpose-built performance hardware, giving the brand unusual depth from factory-style service parts to multi-plate racing systems.
Why This Part Fits the Build
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.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: 08804
- Configuration: Stage 1 Organic Clutch Kit
- Construction / Character: Application-specific EXEDY configuration
- Torque Rating: Application-specific / verify EXEDY rating
- Best Suited For: Use where this exact EXEDY configuration and fitment are required
How to Choose
For 1990–1991 Acura Integra L4, this configuration makes the most sense when its intended duty matches the vehicle's actual power and use. Avoid overspecifying clutch aggressiveness: the best setup is the one that maintains the needed torque reserve while preserving usable modulation and protecting the rest of the driveline.
Technical Notes
- 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: 1990–1991 Acura Integra L4
- EXEDY SKU: 08804
Fitment note: Before ordering, confirm the exact year, trim, engine, transmission, and flywheel/clutch-system combination. EXEDY may use different components within the same model range, particularly where transmissions or factory flywheel designs changed.
