What Torque can a AP 4 Paddle take, (Track Use)

im thinking i may have to look at other options.

Cheers

how about an alcon 6paddle. more user friendly.

 

sorry forgot to say it was for an RST.

had an alcon in my cossy, didnt last too many miles at 400bhp

 

i am told that min can cope with 420bhp and about the same on lb/ft

 

IIRC, the torque rating for an RS Turbo 4 paddle is 185 lb/ft.

 

oh dear

so what other option are ther for torque around double that

 

AP rate their clutches low as a disclaimer, I had 260+ lbs/ft running through a 4 paddle with no problems. However when the engine was taken apart, the clutch face was blue. Whether my driving style cooked it or the torque cooked it is unknown.

 

right ok, so say 250 is the limit, still need somthing alot more meaty then

 

AP do different rated pressure plates, the one that comes standard with the 4 paddle clutch is only rated by AP to 170 lbft........but it can cope with a lot more than that, I'm running well over 200bhp & lbft and mine has never slipped. The highest rated one ( CP3560-2 ) is rated to 230 lbft by AP but considering how much they 'underate' the clamping capabilities I would say that it could cope with quite a bit more than 230 lbft

Helix will build you one but it wont be anygood for the road.

needs to handle at least 300lbft

 

Alcon do a six plate paddle for the RST that would do you proud....

 

go on then mike PM me a price you very nice man

i got a cossy alcon 6 paddle in my garage, wonder if that will fit

 

didn't think alcon did a 6 for an RST??

Cant you get a d type clutch cover for the AP paddle??

 

Ryan,
Er, no it won't .

Tillio,
Shows what you know .

 

funny that

PM me a price for an alcon kit then mike

you reckon it will take 350 lbft?

 

what is a 6 paddle like on the rst? The missis has a 4 paddle and that took some getting used to lol
Are they as good as they are on a cossie?

 

Benn,

My Alcon 6 paddle gives near standard pedal action/feel....haven't had chance to use it properly though...

I was offered a twin plate option when I went for the Alcon but I thought I would see how the 6 paddle performs first.

 

tims old donkey ran an ap organic plate, had a good 10k under its belt

 

Had mine apart last month having done 4k and its still very okay, torque is 260 something ft/lbs (when its going)
