I Want to upgrade my standard Rs turbo series 2 (bigger intercooler, clutch kit, chip, gearbox, and 1 bar of pressure)

But, I'm not sure which intercooler i should get?? I've been looking at airtechs frontmounted singlepass?

And what clutch should i get? Will an upgraded organic clutch do, or will i be needing a paddle clutch?

And.. What power can i expect?

Cheers and Thank you!

 

Pro alloy for the intercooler

 

I Can see that Pro alloy has one in the same size as the original intercooler, is that Any good?

 

Airtec and GRS are probably the most popular fmic for the Rs turbo.

 

As i wrote, i was thinking about airtec, it's cheap, and Seem's to be a good fit

But what about the clutch, anyone?

Few options here.

 

Thank you, but the problem is not where to buy the clutch, the problem is that i dont know if i should buy an organic or paddle?

 

I would think the organic would be best.

That said I had good performance with a standard luk kit, that was on my cvh with fmic hybrid turbo, ran cossie management and megasquirt on that clutch, can't remember how much boost but it went alright. I still use the LUK pressure plate on my zetec turbo now.

 

Thank you! I didn't believe that the standard clutch could manage the power, i've been told to upgrade the clutch. But Nice to hear, i guess the organic should be enough then

 

As Stu says the organic AP should handle the power fine

 

go for the organic as above
if the airtec i/c is anything like the weight of their rads it will lower your car another inch

 

LOL! I've got to admit, I was surprised by the weight of the one I handled too!

 

Good for traction all that weight.

 

I know NMS prefer the GRS items but the Pro Alloy/Airtec items should be fine.

As for the clutch I'd probably go for the AP Organic. Unless you are running over 170/180BHP I would not even consider a paddle clutch. Horrible things to use. On a standard cover mind you they are OK, but then it is hardly a cheap execise.

 

Radtec are also good.

 

I've got a Radtec intercooler on mine and a Helix 4 paddle clutch, not really a nice clutch to use with normal driving, probably go for AP.
