Question What's the max bhp/torque on AP Racing org clutch?

Anyone using the Sti size AP Racing organic clutch with 6 speed box? If so, what's max bhp and torque you're throwing through it?

I use an AP organic, all be it with a 5 speed box and it's handled 380-400bhp /350+lbs for over 18 months and that includes some track work and SSO.

Mine didn't slip at 26 PSI of boost on 2.5 and GT30R.

My AP organic had the centre ripped out and was making 300bhp may be, 5sp by the way but i did sprint it. Make sure you get the correct type for your needs i.e. paddle for any hard track work etc

My 2p worth

For comparison

Sti v3 5 speed, semi slick tyres and 380 x 370 engine with 9K road miles and 3 years of full-on hill climbing and not one wimper.
Stock flywheel that was not refaced before fitting.

Call me lucky?

Hope you get here soon Mark!

John, that's excellent going, GT30 etc. As I dont do standing starts or boot it till clutch engaged, I'm hoping to have a wonderful life with AP then!!

911...you must be blessed.

I really do hope the clutch will last as I like the way she works, not to heavy or harsh.

Blessed?
4500/5500 rpm blip blip blip dump the clutch asap (lift left leg instantly) and away we go.
3 years of this and all is (still) perfect.
Very very pleased indeed.

On the road? Last a lifetime.

I'm amazed, I didn't think a clutch rated to 340 ft lb and organic would take all this - very good news though, as will be very happy (life long) owner of usable clutch.

Cheers.

Seems this AP kit is quality and they under-rate the lb ft figure by a mile! It all sounds good to me.
