alright chaps,

im dropping a 2.5 leggy engine into my sport, so i want an uprated clutch, will a turbo wrx/sti clutch fit? i know ones hydraulic and the sports cable, is there a way round it? or can you get a paddle clutch for a sport?
cheers

I wouldnt put a paddle clutch in there, horrid things you could try an AP one for your car or an exedy??

its a rally car, and with the extra torque and power from the 2.5 engine and the abuse i think a paddle with be the way to go?
just not sure they make one for the cable clutch system?

 

Try looking on US forums such as nasioc.com

They have 2.5 litre non turbo cars over there with the cable clutch so someone must have gone for an upgraded one.

 

cheers for the heads up fella il check it out

 

Paddle clutches will take alot of abuse but as Tony says they are horrible to live with with in a road car. My old exedy paddle put up with at least 100 full bore drag launches in my 2.5 & its figures were 465/540 running in 11 sec bracket for 1/4 mile. Great clutches for this type of work.

 

ye the clutch will get a lot of abuse in the rally car, and the clutches tend to slip towards the end of the events so im after a clutch that will take to being launched at every time control etc its not a daily car, rally car only, and ive used tripple plate paddle clutches in my silvia s14 drift car and my old classic wide arch so i know what there like to live with lol
