Clutches: 4wd vs 2wd?

[projectmx]

what is the difference between the 4wd clutchs and 2wd clutches for the protege?

[Clean 4WD]

well the 91 FSM says the 4wd has a 225mm diam clutch disc, and the 2wd has a 215mm daim disc with the bp dohc, the bp sohc gets a 200mm disc, and the b6 sohc gets a 190mm disc.. The pp load is 3,846 NM on the bp dohc and 4wd, the sohc gets 3,826 NM, and b6 gets 3,630 NM.. hope this helps.. Now the GTX gets a 230mm disc and the pp is 5,494 NM...

hmm well i have a bp with a GTR trans an aluminum fidanza flywheel for the 2wd bp... so can I use either clutch? or 2wd or 4wd? do they all have the same pressure plate?

Same style, but different sizes.. I have a bp26 clutch set up, and my 4wd set up.. the 4wd looks tiny compared to the bp26.. If I was you I would use your stuff with a heavy pressure plate..

wow! thats one hell of a plate load on the GTX pressure plate! is the GTR the same? i wonder how this compares to my act street/strip pressure plate for the bp...... hmmmmmm

i have a really heavy pressure plate from the bp setup, it is a centerforce dual friction... a lot heavier than my last and after reading their site it seemed good for 4wd

GTX and GTR clutches are the same except that the GTR ones comes with a mm or two more material on the clutch disc.

Like I was saying, I run the GTX clutch and dynoed at 269whp and its holding up fine.

where did you get your specs btw?

FSM = Factory Service Manual... I have a complete set for 89~93 Protege'.. I am an ex-dealer tech, that worked at two too many dealers over the years that have shut down... I rescued my collection from the dumpster..
