Default Which Clutch

Hi all,

Currently building a 2wd YB for my drift spec Mk1 Capri.

Basic spec will be T38, Omex 600 and high compression pistons. Aimming for around 350 ft/lb of torque and similiar power.

Currently trying to decide on what type of clutch to fit. As the car is a full on track car (drifting), I'm not worried out the roughness of a paddle clutch or similiar.

Does anyone have experience with twin plate clutches?

Any recommandations/suggestion welcome.

Paddy.

Alcon or AP from what you read here. Alcon seems to be the preffered clutch for the road anyway .

Thanks for the reply, was talking to a few big power guys over the weekend and they run standard pressure discs with AP 6 paddle plates with no issues and still light pedal.

helix cover and a AP or Alcon 6 paddel Matt Lewis or R&B motorsport are your best bet, you should be making more than 350flbs my t34.48 has just made 400flbs.

What boost are you running to get that torque? I was am planning to use 1.5bar peak and hold 1.3bar?
