What clutch for 400+ 2wd Cosworth
I need a clutch in my latest build and it will be over 400 (hopefully) on both bhp and torque.
It will be driven very hard and lauched at every given opportunity and will also do a few trackdays.
So what clutch is best one to get, why, how much and where from?
Been a while since i bought one and the prices have shot up

My ap never let me down with 500bhp loads of launch control launches as well. I then sold the clutch to little dan from Basingstoke who had it re-lined used my old cover and abuses the Fook out of it every time he drives his thing lol great clutch

I have your Helix hi torque one and it seems excellent, you do need your hydraulic conversion on it though to be comfortable in stop start traffic.

I previously had an Alcon 6 paddle clutch with a standard cover in my old moonstone 3dr running a harvey gibbs 400/400 engine and i abused the total crap out of it and it took it all day long but i cant seem to find alcon for sale anymore.
I previously found AP clutches to be quite hard on the pedal hence opted for Alcon.

Totally agree, the problem is that people with little money or not prepared to pay out for them got in to Cosworths and expected to go from 200 bhp to 500bhp with little more than winding up some boost, they then wondered why they broke 4x4 gearboxes etc and I suspect some of the maps were shoddy plus the cars are now old and need some new service parts, better gaskets and all the other bits.
If you run big power you need good intercooler etc...

Shocking what that’s up for now last time I was at marks picking up my gearbox I asked about it and he told me. In my head I was thinking if I sold all my bits my motorbikes and took half my savings I could buy that or put in a serious offer I then thought right stop thinking like that I’ll get tempted lol

That is sooooo cheap for the history and all the work and money that has gone in to it.

It would make sense for Ford or one of the big brands to buy it and use it for promotional work.
I asked the MRS but she is not keen on another car at home having just got shot of one off the drive, she said I would have to sell my little Gti or the 944

absolutely and I doubt it will go down in value.
