Default What clutch for setup??

I recently wrote a topic asking what intercooler and clutch i should get for my standard ERST S2.
There have been a little change in setup, so i was wondering if the AP Racing organic clutch CP 2000-15 this one:

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/clutch-kits/car/ford/escort-mk4-rs-turbo/a-p-racing-performance-formula-clutch-kit-organic-220mm-torque-cap-192nm-142-lb-ft

Would be enough for this setup?

-31 cossie actuator
Airtec front Mount intercooler.
And a stage 2 turbo.

And what power Can i get from this?

Cheers

I had the 230nm - 169lb ft AP clutch. That actually started to slip around 195Ft Lbs on the dyno. So I would imagine you'll get a bit more than the 142Lb ft out of the clutch you linked.

It depends what power you want/make. If you are going for whatever the engine can make then it might be worth while buying the best clutch you can for future power etc.

Also I run a hydraulic clutch set up so I can't comment on how heavy these clutches get.

Hopefully someone can give you a bit more info.

A stage 2 T3 (.36/50) will do around 230bhp and a bit less torque so no that clutch will not be enough, the CP2000-8 is what you need mate.
