please let me know where to find one .

thanks guys ...

I don't know of a dual plate clutch that bolts directly Nassim.

thanks Guy ,
that what i was told ...

any other alternatives for a high tourqe engine - especially for hill climb ??

any good race brand.

I don't have much info to go on here.

Often the Int 16v power is governed by the torque rating of the clutch. The highest rated bolt-on clutch I know is Helix and a 6 blade sprung cerametallic (ie: paddle) type. That can take 352lbf ft MAX.

The push type rating is lower, 280 I think.

If that is not enough the FW has to be machined to take a multiplate like this 200mm one.

I have to tell you that at these ratings sorting out a clutch takes a fair bit of time on my part and is not a 2 minute buy_on_line job.

And the cost of the package incl special release bearing can easily run into 4 figures (excl the decimal point). This usually comes as a surprise to the owner who has aimed for XXXXbhp and not thought at all about the ability of the clutch to take the intended output.

I am an agent for Helix and don't use any other makes. Have a look at Tilton Naz, be my guest! But I won't give advice on their products.

thanks guy for this info.
can you please provide me with prices for these two types you mentioned , so my friend can decide which to go.

regards

not without knowing the torque output Naz.

Alternatively we get the strongest clutch poss and then dyno the engine and cap the boost so as not to overload the clutch.

I also need to know exactly which model this is - push type or pull type?
