i'm building an over the top zetec turbo engine and will need a clutch to hold 400bhp+
i will be fitting a focus rs box too so that's simple enough.
also i will be buying a brand new flywheel for this so machining isn't needed as such.
however i've been told to get hold of a focus rs clutch cover and use a cosworth six paddle friction plate.
i can't find the clutch cover on it's own anywhere and really don't want to spend nigh on £450 for just a focus rs kit if it's not up to the job.

does anyone have any useful input on this or know where to look for a good deal.

cheers

excidy do a good clutch and i used a helix 6 paddle that was good @ 350bhp but dont get the light fly wheel, the storys of oil pump failure from crank vibration worry me

 

aiming for more than 350bhp, i just want transmission sorted so i don't have to worry about it if i push the power up and up later.
won't be touching light weight flywheels, gary told me not too, so i won't.

 

the ap 6 paddle will be fine @400hp mate.

 

thing is i heard the focus cover and cosworth 6 paddle was the best combo, but i've looked into it on the AP site and they both use the same paddle.
weird, prob end up getting the 6 paddle focus one then i guess.
that's a fair whack on a clutch, but if it does the job and lasts, then so be it.

 

wat you going for mtx75

 

not understanding your reply.
i'm fitting a FRS mtx75, reason is i'm going to be running more power.

 

sorry did not read your first post carefully, good luck with it all
