Can any of you gurus tell me when I have to upgrade a clutch in an STi3? I am currently at 320bhp, (PE T75 exhaust and Blitz air induction). I was thinking of more.
Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Congratulations on choosing the best STI vintage!
The standard clutch in my car worked fairly well with 300ftlb torque (346bhp) for a while. I do think this is pushing it and I have recently replaced the unit with a Helix Group N unit.
Mail me offline if you want more details....

The AP Racing clutch that we sell is nominally rated at 310lb/ft Torque. (BHP not relevant with Clutch). What torque do you have?
Anything much more than about 340-350 lb/ft torque and you need to start looking at different options. Multi plate, Cerametallic, paddle type clutch's but the general driveability will suffer.
