Clutch Options

[PhilW]

Just wondered what options are about for a decent clutch setup.

I've heard of people running the sachs vr6 clucth and G60 flywheel on IHI.


I'll be goin ATP GTRS eliminator soon so i wanna get the clutch done whilst my engine is out now.


Cheers.

Spec gets my vote.
single mass flywheel (G60 type) and 228mm Vr/G60 SPEC clutch in whatever flavour you desire.
Stage 3+ for me

Whats the damage on those setups bill and where from?

And i cant see me wanting the same clamping force you'd need!

So its a case of lightened G60 flywheel and finding the right 228mm clutch i'd need.

stage3 for me

 

[PhilW]

Spec do various stages.. ~$470 approx
you could consider a VR6 stock type clutch from LUK or SACHs also on G60 flywheel. You would want to get the flywheel bolts to suit the G60 setup as well.

I been thinkin about that, just not sure it will be strong enough, yet i'm sure i've read of people using them on IHI.

ECS are doing a Sachs Power clutch with 14lb steel flywheel for £376 which will hold 280-330whp.

Can you get Sachs Power clutches in the UK?

 

[ibizacupra]

I dont rate SACHs power clutch personally. slips a bit on jans lupo on just k03s full load. poxy shite

 

[PhilW]

Cant see it holding on to 330ish bhp then.

Just need to find someone in the states to delivery a spec clutch or similar now.

Another vote for Spec here.
Got stage 3+ on mine (major overkill for my set-up - long story).
Nice bit of kit. Very much like OE in feel.

 

[PhilW]

Where did you get yours from damo?

JBS supplied it to me mate.

It was expensive though. £800 odd (including flywheel). It can handle something like 500lb ft torque or thereabouts. I'm sure the do stage 1, 2 and 3 kits which I'd imagine are cheaper and more suitable for your requirements.

 

[PhilW]

Ouch. I was lookin at gettin it from the US.

Looks like stage 2 will be enought for me as thats rated to 385lb/ft.

Ok, does anyone know if the mk3 golf VR6 flywheel is ok to use as well?

Or does it have to be golf/corrado G60 flywheel?

I belive the vr fly is a different bolt pattern

 

[R0b]

i have a g60 flywheel if you're looking for one which id sell.

 

[PhilW]

How much you want for it and whats the condition like R0b?

 

[R0b]

£70 plus postage. Looks fine to me, no chunks missing out of it or anything
