Whats the best clutch to use for a 300 bhp zetec turbo using an rs turbo gear box (straight cut gears)?


On ebay theres an ap racing 4 paddle clutch kit for 220mm flywheel.

Its reduced to £337.

Would anyone advise me any different? If not, is there anywhere else cheaper??

My rst ap paddle was slipping under heavy load with less power than that. It had plenty life left in it too.
Never found out if it was the shitty xr2 clutch ratchet shitting itself or the clutch couldn't handle it as my gearbox let go stripping the teeth off 5th gear!
Putting a mk1 FRS setup in now.

I had to go to focus rs mk1 clutch and gbox.... couldn't find a clutch to do the job. That's at similar power to what you're running.

Helix do a extra heavy duty cover that will do 300ftlbs easy

Is this the one you mean? Better than the AP Racing one?

and make sure your flywheel is 100% spot on.
tell them your needs, think it was fred I used to deal with. but this was 10yrs ago and he was a old chap then.

I could get my flywheel skimmed. Would it be ok to keep the standard one?

crazycage

Yes the standard flywheel is fine mate
