Competition Clutch 1992-1993 Acura Integra Stage 4 - 6 Pad Ceramic Clutch Kit
The Competition Clutch 8027-1620 is a Stage 4 Strip Series clutch kit for the 1992-1993 Acura Integra with the B17A or B18A engine, the late second-generation cars. It is for owners who have pushed one of these Integras far beyond factory power, with a turbo kit, nitrous or a built engine, and need a disc that will not slip on a hard launch. These are the last two years before the 1994 redesign, and they take their own clutch parts, which is why this kit carries the 8027 number rather than the 8026 used on 1994-2001 cars.
The pressure plate bolts to the flywheel and clamps one disc onto the five-speed gearbox input shaft. On these cars the release side is cable-operated, so pedal effort and engagement depend on the cable, the release fork and the throwout bearing as much as the clutch itself. Competition Clutch rates the Stage 4 Strip Series at up to a 250 percent increase in torque capacity over stock. The disc is a six-paddle design with ceramic buttons on a sprung hub, which still absorbs some driveline shock. A clamp load and friction material that aggressive makes the car harder to drive in traffic: expect fast, grabby engagement and some low-speed chatter. A stock B18A or B17A is better served by a Stage 2.
On a cable clutch, check adjustment first. A cable with no free play can hold the release bearing against the fingers and make a good clutch slip, while a stretched or frayed cable can keep it from releasing. Set the free play to the factory spec, then do a fourth-gear pull from about 3,000 rpm. If engine speed runs ahead of road speed, the disc is slipping. Check for oil at the bellhousing seam too. Our clutch slipping guide covers the road test, and clutch engages high or low on the pedal explains what the engagement point is telling you.
This listing fits the 1992-1993 Acura Integra. Competition Clutch lists the 8027-1620 for 1992-1993 Integra models with the B17A (GS-R) and B18A engines. It is not the kit for a 1990-1991 Integra, which uses the 8017 series, or a 1994-2001 car, which uses the 8026 series. Many of these Integras have had engines or gearboxes swapped over the years, so match your current disc spline and pressure plate, or send us your year and VIN, and we will confirm before it ships. Browse every Integra clutch and flywheel in the rebuild kits and clutch category.
Per the Competition Clutch spec table: performance pressure plate, single 6-paddle ceramic disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool. A flywheel is not included.
If you only need to restore the factory feel, the 8027 stock replacement clutch is the simpler choice. Building your own setup? The 99785-1620 six-puck disc is sold on its own.

No. The kit includes the pressure plate, 6-paddle ceramic disc, throwout bearing, pilot bushing and alignment tool.
It is possible, but engagement is quick and chatter at low speed is normal. Competition Clutch builds the Stage 4 for high-horsepower and drag cars, so a lightly modified Integra is happier with a Stage 2.
Yes. These cars use a clutch cable, so set the pedal free play to the factory spec after the install and check it again after break-in.
Competition Clutch recommends shifting as often as possible during the first 500 miles before hard launches.
