What clutch for 400bhp?
 

What is a suitable clutch for a 400bhp 2wd saff. I currently have an AP uprated plate with standard cover. I was thinking of a 6 paddle plate but could I use the standard cover or will I need an uprated one?

AP Organic

Hi Matt

It was mentioned a couple of weeks ago about a group buy but it didn't seam to go any where, may be you could get some info and prices up as im still after something as well.

Will do sir what are you after??

I have a ap organic clutch at the minute and it's slipping. It was fine running 350 but now Ive had 400 conversion it's started slipping. Do you sell ap 6 paddle clutches?

Something for 350 to 400bhp may be a alcon or AP 6 paddle and HD cover, depends on interest i guess.

Peeps, at this level you really do not need a paddle centre plate, I know cause I've been there. You need an AP cover and an organic plate. Mine ran on this set up for a couple of thousand miles with no slip what so ever. Only changed to paddle when we upped the boost on the final mapping which took it to over 500 brake and nigh on 490 ft/lb torque, and it started to slip in the higher gears :top:

Same as me ! mine is still going strong

I have an ap plate and standard cover. Would it be best to buy a complete kit or just a cover? Where is best place to get one?

Hi ... do you have any "numbers" on these AP cover and plate ??? as I had the same problem with sliping clutch when I ran a AP setup like it ??

I used to run a tilton 6 paddle plate and a standard (second hand) cover.....

Bit hard, never slipped and had a lovely light feel to the pedal!

The original tilton heavy duty race cover was an absolute nightmare and kept snapping cables it was that heavy...used to make my thigh shake lol

when i had 400bhp/lbft on my moonstone 3dr i had an alcon 6 paddle clutch with uprated cover and it was great. Pedal was much lighter than the AP 6 paddle clutches too

My ap organic died a horrible death within mins. Not yet decided what to get as I hear ap have some problems with there latest stuff caused by out sourcing covers. Any one have any info.

i have a 6 paddle for my 4x4 but no cover plate do they sell the cover plate seprate

I think your best bet would be to buy the AP cover and organic centre plate as a kit. Woodford Garage Motorsport have always been very competitive in my experience :top:

Nah, I don't have any numbers sorry mate, the centre plate was binned about eight years ago, and the cover is still in my car going strong, also after about eight years :top:

Use a Helix Cover, ideal set up for up to 500 BHP

matt can you supply a helix cover ???

I use helix HD cover + helix 6 paddle plate at 400bhp from GGR. Not slipping, normal for road use, but a little hard pedal. Next time if I still 400bhp I will use this cover with organic plate. I think it will be best setup for road use.

I'd like to know this aswell matt please

yes he can just ordered one last week :grin:
