Default Which Uprated Clutch for 20psi?

Right, just had my fiesta t3 turbo setup to run 20psi via MSD but my clutch is slipping.

I am better getting an uprated one and have seen AP ones at Burton etc. but not sure which one to get.

I dont want it going in 6 months and slipping again etc.

thanks.

paddle!
yep, you'll hate town driving, heavy pedal, juddery setting off from standing etc, but will hold the power, or alternatively one of the performance ap organic ones, but cost about as much and can't hold as much power back either.

Hi!

I have cp 2000-8 ap-racing organic clutch kit and it has never been slipped with 270bhp.

Yeah as Antti O says a CP2000-8 will be good depending on what torque you make at 20psi.
Another thread about clutches here from a few days back.......... https://passionford.com/forum/ford-e...uld-i-buy.html

decided to go for the AP CP2000-8 organic clutch.

However, i know for the escort you need to do the pedal and quadrant upgrade. It states this must be done and lists the part numbers on their site but is this the same for the Fiesta? It doesnt mention it needs doing on the Fiesta RS on AP's website.

Dont know mate thats a good question!?
My guess would be yes, as it's the same clutch and so will need the same amount of cable travel, I dont see why the fiesta would have had greater travel from factory than the escort, and that is what is needed and why the mod is essential.

mk3 fiesta is on a ratchet system so will need doing, the mk5 pedal setup should fit.
go on fiestaturbo.com, i'm sure they have the info on there

I run with a Helix organic clutch and that's stood me very very well with shed loads of abuse and 260bhp and similar figure in torque to go with it. Not the nisest clutch to use though and has a heavy pedal
