could these be used in a rst to take more grunt than a std item?
turbo diesel even moreso
just a thought, sum1 must have tryed it

 

 

The standard clutch is good up to 220bhp. I very much doubt a 1.8 diesel one is lol.

 

is that right? a stock clutch will be ok upto 220bhp????

im only planning on running 160bhp and i thought i might have to get an uprated clutch.

 

So why does my brand new S2 item still slip ??

 

mine too, ive never had a std clutch take more than about 18 psi for long atall, this 1 is slipping at 15 and its not even set up and is almost new

and all i hear is bad from any clutch under about Ł250, more than ill spend

TDI's excert plenty of torque

 

Mines running 14 psi. Don't know what bhp or torque figures tho Seriously need it roaded for a figure before I fit my new 'cooler to compare it before and after. Don't know if it's worth it with the clutch slipping tho

 

But there was never a Turbo Diesel CVH


Myself and AndyRST both used a genuine Ford clutch for over 10,000 miles, both had around 220- 230bhp and 230+ lbs/ft torque and 18 psi.

 

never said there was, later may fit, thats was the point of asking if anybody had tryed it

 

off the original topic slightly, but what are you doing to the flywheel when replacing the clutch as you say its not handling the power?

you do know you should really get the flywheel 'faced' everytime you change the clutch to stop it getting hot spots , hence the slipping?

as for diesel clutch...dont know but maybe the same myth as the diesel box??

 

I had a very good S2 item re-faced and fitted. S2 item has larger surface area over the S1: as you know
