Bit of a weird one this, any help from anyone would be appreciated...

I've got a 1.8 cvh block

I've got an MT75 gearbox (which some of the 1.8 cvh sierras used)

What clutch and flywheel do I go for?!!!!

Ideally I'd like a standard (or at most mildly uprated organic) Cossie clutch for a lightish pedal.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ben

 

A standard 1.8 ford seirra clutch from ford????????????????????

 

I must admit I thought cvh sierra's used type 9

 

Unfortunately a standard 1.8 sierra clutch probably won't take the power / torque dude!
Cheers,
Ben
Anyone else with any other ideas?

 

A mt75 uses the same spline as the 4x4 cossie so use a escort cossie clutch

 

It's ok I know I can use a Cossie clutch now - looks like I have to get a flywheel custom made unless anyone knows different?
Cheers,
Ben

 

has it not got the same bolt pattern as the 2.0 then?

 

Have you tried offering a cozy flywheel up to the crank?

I know the cozy has more holes but it might line up on most if not all holes.

Go for a cozy 6 paddle mate, very smooth and light.

Matt.

 

no offence, but does it really need a paddle? after all its only a CVH turbo at the end of the day so surely it'll be <300bhp (please corrct me if wrong) and i woulda thought a normal type clutch would be more than adequate for this, and nicer to drive

 

Cheers Matt, I'll give it a go but I'm not too hopeful! Jim you're right, that's why I wanna go for a standardish Cossie clutch rather than a CVH paddle as it'll be easier to drive.
Cheers all,
Ben

 

Are you going to need a crank position sensor?

That may determine if you use a cozy or CVH flywheel.

Farndon once quoted me over 1K for a one off flywheel.

 

1k its only a big spinny disc thing

 

Have you tried writing a letter to FastFord? its a very good technical magazine just about Fords. They are bound to know the answer!

Martin will know or be able to engineer you something. Send him a PM. Good luck matey and see you at ND

 

lol

 

pmsl porkie...

have you read the latest one with the blue puma on the front... its fookin appauling...

i start to read an article n get pissed off with the errors so skip to the next article only to find the same shit the only article in the mag i actually managed to look at without laughing or getting pissed off was the RR "feature" (by feature i mean a few pictures of cars n graphs and no actual content worth reading )

 

They did start to get better... a few issues ago there was a few really interesting articles but normally its pretty pony!

 

the best one was the techy answer one about the YB wiring...

bloke said he wanted to drop a YB in his boggo sierra n said he wanted to swap the ECU looms over n asked for advice, their advice?...


... you want to swap the looms over


NO SHIT SHERLOCK

 

oh and the guy making 380bhp on a T35 and greens... well done

and i love the way a T34 is good for 350bhp and a T35 is good for 400bhp

who writes their articles? jano?

 

I thought they were going to tell him to fit a Combat Kit and some neons

 

I thought the transmission article was fairly good.........

 

bernie, it was OBVIOUS that you wrote the LSD article and not them...

was v. good tho by the way

 

Actually, Jon Hill wrote the article.
He does ask the right questions though
