what clutch / power / torque are you running???

i am struggling to put my 450 BHP and 542NM through my clutch .
i run an AP 6 paddle kit, fine on the go , but when i launch it hard i go nowhere fast , even worse if i use the ALS , thinking twin plates but cost a fortune!!!
has to be drivable, not an on / off switch

 

AP 4 padel . 420bhp not sure about torque
copes fine , bit juddery in heavey traffic when it gets hot

We have an escort running 435bhp at min and 510nm and has an ap 6 paddle and an ap cover and is fine

 

try an alcon 6 with ap coover plate

580bhp 3 door my mate has uses that i thiink

 

One thing could be that 2wd car doesn't stress clutch as much as 4wd.

and I would consider swapping to hydraulic clutch also.

Hydraulic it, and it shouldn't be an issue .

Mine has 477bhp and 565Nm and Alcon 6-plate paddle clutches last 15,000 miles.....

 

Alcon 6plate, 500bhp and 422ft/lb

 

how will the hydraulic conversion stop it slipping under hard launch ?????

was thinking of this any how but cant see how it will help on that side of things

 

Because it will allow the clutch to properly engage / disengage.

The ratchet is shit at self adjusting, constantly drags and over-heats the clutch, causing it to slip / wear out.

 

Does this also count for the Grp.n or Grp.a something?

 

Cable still stretches .
