Any one used or using an helix organic clutch . Just been recommended to fit one to an escort cosworth running 500bhp .

Has anyone used a helix clutch on a cosworth before?

paul16v

Ive got one for mine, its still in the box tho lol

Not Cosworth I know but I run one on my S2. It's a great clutch but I find it a bit heavy on the legs and traffic can be a painfull excercise. FITP the other year my leg felt like it was going to burst

I had a alcon paddle on the 2wd saph and that slipped when on boost then fitted a ap paddle and had allot of judder. I was running a ap organic on my escort that was running 383bhp and 388lb and it was fine. now i was hopping to run 500bhp and was recommended to use an helix organic, just wanted your opinion.

500 BHP sounds like a lot for any Organic to cope with, what torque you expecting ? Its the torque that gets them as thats how they rate them not BHP.

DAN-Saff

Not sure how much torque its going to produce it had 388lbf on a t34, It will be running a t4, low comp, bd14 inlet, air injectors and its going to be mapped by turbosystems.

Mines running about 300lbf on a helix organic no problemo, is a bit heavy in traffic though

DAN-Saff

I can live with it being heavy as long it doesn,t slip

With a paddle clutch ofcourse you will get alot of judder its part and parcel whats wrong with the Alcon 6 paddle clutch?

DAN-Saff

Had one on the saph and that was slipping when on boost and it was only 353bhp and 323lbf. Fitted an ap six paddle after and that had alot of judder. The best one i has so far it was ap organic on my escort , but been told by ggr that the helix would run 500bhp.
