With a lift and all the proper tools it takes me about 6hrs, just a hair under 5hrs if I have no interuptions and am working fast. Its at least 8-10 hrs for most mechanically skilled people, lots of guys take two days to do it, Ive heard of several 3 day horror stories. We didnt take enough pics for a howto.....maybe if I do another one anytime soon. Pics cost more though because it takes me longer, LOL.

Ok I got my flywheel bolts, slave cyl/throwout bearing, and wierd pipe thingy that Tom recommended to prevent future leakage. I found a dealership with a tech with lots of cobalt transmission experience. Now the question is should i do some billet reverse mounts to prevent excess wheel hop. I really dont experience hop unless im on really bad road and WOT. If the road is smooth , no hop to speak of.
What do you guys think?

This past weekend I did an install for Exedy USA.
They wanted to verify if the LSJ Hyper Single clutch/flywheel would work on the LNF.
Well............ IT DOES WORK.
Install was smooth, all the clearances and throws are within acceptable spec, and no problems were encountered during install or in the test vehicles road test.
Dont take my word for it though, I am sure the tester will chime in soon, it was installed on Steddy2112's car.
So, call up Tom at Crate Engine Depot and tell him you need a clutch slave cylinder and 8 flywheel bolts, then call Josh or Sean at OTTPerformance and tell 'em you need a Hyper Single.
I may have done the work but you guys need to thank John at Powell Race Shop and Evan and Bernie at ExedyUSA for getting this done.

No.
More of a 'do it while you're there' because you have to take everything apart in order to do it.

Put my order in for Exedy Hypersingle and Stage II rotated mounts. The guys at OTT made me feel at ease as far as the the exedys limits. The time attack car had a nitrous shot that gave the motor at least 350lb feet. They also have some customers with 400whp and over 350lbft turbo LSJ's with the exedy.

What's spool time?
The stock turbo has next to none.
If you have to wait for the turbo to spool up, down shift you're in the wrong gear.
Car spins up faster with the lighter flywheel.

haha, just checking, i figured that be the case, especially with the stock turbo. I and someothers where discussing this in another thread. thanx for confirming this for me. Cant wait till spring now, this clutch/flywheel combo is goin on my car.
Just to get this confirmed...besides buying the clutch/flywheel combo, 8 flywheels bolts, new slave cylinder, and new throwout bearing...is there anything else that needs to be purchased for this install to be done right the first time?

With the clutch I bought recently, the documentation says to change out the flywheel bolts after they've been removed and reused several times.
You can't beat new stuff, but from what I'm hearing it's sounding like it might be overkill. How about calling up CED? Sure they sell the stuff and would therefore be biased, but they could probably give you some good info too.
I was talking with OTTP about this and they said that slave cylinder and throwout bearing weren't that needed if you've still got lower mileage (I made sure to ask about this several times). He did a clutch swap on his LSJ, keeping the stock cylinder and bearing, and had no issues with it.

Dropping the engine cradle again to change them after one comes lose and eviscerates everything in front of the firewall sounds like it may be the least of your worries...but hey you save 15 bucks.
Throw out bearing...pfft, **** it, if it fails it is just the trans.
Seriously, you are already paying a grand for a clutch/pressure plate/flywheels.
What is another hundred bux?
'Can't' afford it and wanting the eBay intake to go with your leetsos are two different things.
