BOFI Racing Clutch Kit For Mazda MX-5 NA NB 1.6

BOFI Racing Clutch Kit For Mazda MX-5 NA NB 1.6

One of the statements people always make with a performance clutch is “It’s a little harsh, but you get used to it”. What that means is you’re the only one who can drive your car without stalling it. It’s been our goal to find a clutch that can take as much abuse as 95% of the MX-5 community will throw at it without relying on puck style clutches with leg achingly heavy pedal feel and aggressive as hell engagement.

Don’t settle for “you’ll get used to it”.

This clutch has the feel of a Stage 2 pressure plate, with the engagement of an organic stage 2. What does that mean? It’s not snatchy or grabby, it doesn’t wear your leg out and it won’t make you look a fool in start-stop traffic. You can hand your keys to your significant other without them having to “put up” with the clutch on your racekor.

Bedding in Procedure

Ensure that your flywheel is freshly skimmed if re-using, preferably use a new flywheel. For best results give the car 2-300 miles of town driving before taking to a dyno or applying full load. This clutch will slip if it has not been bedded in properly when running close to the torque limit.

As a rule of thumb, this clutch will work with most stock block turbo builds. TD04 / GT2554R / GT2560 up to circa 10psi of boost. Some have ran higher. Ensuring the clutch has a good mating surface and time to bed in is highly important – this is absolutely not a clutch for drifting or boosted clutch kicks. Launching will limit its life considerably.

For people running higher horsepower or higher demands, the 1.8 version is a must.
