has anybody got suggestions for a clutch to fit a s1 escort with a 450 ish bhp zetec turbo

 

What gearbox are you running?

 

its got a series one gear box up rated bearings

 

Rat8oy - What clutch you using on your MTX out of interest?

Marilyn - I had a Helix 6 paddle on my old Zetec turbo but at that kind of power your have more problems with gearboxes going bang!

 

what power was you running

 

twin plate needed really

 

what make are they and where can i get one

 

I'd be looking at something like a tilton twin cerametallic at that power level. Be prepared for a very crisp bite point and heavy pedal!

Price wise - £750-850 territory from Competition Supplies @ Silverstone.

 

has anyone ever ran that power in a rst with the normal box's surely it eat gearboxes for breakfast, lunch and tea, anyway i had an ap 4 paddle in my zetec turbo onion done the job fine but i was only running 250bhp

an onion with 250bhp?? bet that brought tears to your eyes!!

 

hi mate , id use a light weight flywheel from ttv racing with the face machined to use a 7 1/2 inch clutch , then youve got the choice from clutches like quarter masters , tilton , ap etc .
flywheel is about £250
7 1/2 clutch with twin plates rated to 650ftlbs of torque is about £350/400

hope this helps
