Default CC twin disk

Alright so I'm really wary of buying a used clutch, but, this one has been used a couple times on a dyno and he wants 500 bucks. Flywheel, pressure plate, disks etc the whole kit.

Is it worth it?

I wouldnt mess with used parts like a clutch. How much power do you plan on making? I rarely see the need for a twin disc on a Civic. If he used it on the dyno only, did he even break it in? I would assume that the motor was built, thrown on the dyno and tuned, no break in on the clutch of course.

Very possible, didn't think of that.

I'm aiming for approximately 350 whp dd.
I want it to be streetable too but don't really know where to start. Not sure what stage I need, not sure of the torque w/ the b16 on boost.

That's the thing. The clutch is a wear component, be prepared to swap it out again since you cannot predict how much power you will actually be making. IMO, I would go for something like a stage 4 competition clutch. Might be the same price when all said and done, but it is new and not beaten on.
