What the most power a standerd clutch will cope with?

Also what clutch do you recomend for 220bhp?!!

Dont really wan a 4 paddle would rather a stg 1 organic! as i do alot of town driving!

 

Im with you on this one, i think mines just gone, and ive only got 160bhp. Help guys

 

no one?

 

I'd deffo go for an ap organic, all the paddle clutched I've had (ap & alcon) are a bitch in traffic and especially hill starts ! Next time my clutch needs replacing I'll go for an organic.

You wont get an organic one that will hold 220bhp without slipping. ive got a LUK that aparently holds 210bhp, but is slipping at 176bhp. i am running 200lbft of torque though. thats what you wanna go on. there is people out there that can modify a performance cover plate to give it more clamping pressure so you can hold more power and torque with an organic. but i dont have any contacts im afraid.

 

Thanks matey!

am hopeing for around the same torque! just after ive fitted me new cooler and upped me boost a little i know me clutch will go! and i really dont wanna have a paddle one!

 

Pepole have used the organic AP racing organic with over 220 lb/ft, so this is the best option.

 

Tims old RSt that shings has now got has an organic clutch plate.. and this car has a hell of a lot more than 220Bhp

 

I have an AP paddle clutch on my fiesta rs its the same as the escort one i use my car every day and it is easy to drive with, My bro has a helix organic clutch on his escort and his is realy hard to drivr the pedal is very heavy and springy. The paddle calms down after a while so not so harch.

 

ive reserched this alot as ive always had to put up with slipping clutches cos i dont really want a 4 paddle as i use the car in traffic every day. it is possible to use and organic clutch over 220bhp, but like i said earlier it will probobly need a modified cover plate.

if anyone knows of an organic clutch that can handle that sort of power then let me know. i havent found one as of yet.

 

You can't compare your LUK clutch to the AP Racing organic kit. The LUK one is just crap.

 

I used to have an AP paddle friction plate wth a OE Ford cover plate, made the pedal lighter to press but still coped with the power (aprox 220bhp).

 

hey whats a matter wiv a standard ford clutch ive had mine in jus over a yr
and its 195 brake wiv over 200 lbs of torque and only jus started to slip
