Default will this clutch be ok for the following upgrades?

i have a 1995 import WRX, all standard but want to do the following as advised on the Andy Forrest Performance website

Level 2 310-330bhp

Full Decat or Sportscat exhaust from turbo back 2.5 or 3” bore
Walbro 255 l/hr uprated fuel pump
Apexi Induction system with resonator delete
ESL custom live mapping of original ECU
NGK PFR 7B uprated spark plugs
High Flow multi spray fuel injectors 550cc (380cc std)
Front mount intercooler
MY 97 –00 map sensor (higher pressure rating)


i believe the clutch im thinking of will be sufficient

Exedy Stage 1 fast road clutch kit, includes clutch cover, stage 1 disc and clutch release bearing.

seen it on the Scoobyworld website £293.99 inc VAT
ive seen on a website that it can sustain 278 lbs-ft
Part number FK02H601

would anyone be able to advise me if this will be ok or shhould i be looking at something else?

i am hoping someone might be able to start a group buy on this but will see.

thanks in advance

AP organic clutch will definitely handle it and is as light as OEM

cheers mate
AP? i did read an earlier post of someone who switched from the AP to the exedy, didnt read through the whole thread tho, just AP rang a bell
do you know what price these sell for, and who to source them from?
might consider using it.

Ap are a bit more expensive than Exedy, I believe, but I'm not up to date on prices - somewhere £400?. Loads of places to buy - Google AP racing site and that lits products and stockists.

All clutch's have a safety margin above their quoted torque limits so the exedy one you quote would probably be fine, although I found my original P1 clutch died not long after it was remapped originally to around 320bhp/310ftlb torque.

I find the AP one as light as the original and it's quite happily handling 370 ft lb/ 500 nm of torque (440BHP) on my car - not claiming to be an expert by any means just repreating my experience.
