Default Blobeye Twin Scroll, clutch slipping at low revs only - what clutch to buy?

hi guys

my blobeye twin scroll which is standard has started slipping at low revs only if you plant the throttle, but grips from 4k onwards right to 8k fine.. so nive got to drive with a light throttle till 4k before i can plant it.

i know this is defo the clutch coz of the smell..

question is which clutch is best suted for me for fast road use only with the odd launch?

note. it will also be remapped after the clutch has been put in with breathing mods so its between 300 and 320 now so i expect.. 350 to 370hp after map.

which clutch is ideal? i'm so confused after looking around

cheers

We no longer sell that version of clutch in the 240mm size due as they tend to judder and most people don't like it.

Give me a call after lunch as we have a solution. Tel: 01462 488244.

The 2.5 OE STi clutch is reputed to be able to cope with those everyday figures.


Plate (30100AA920) is £104
Cover (30210AA670) is £115
Release bearing - Exedy one off Ebay £30
Spigot bearing £10 off Ebay

From your friendly dealership

The dealer will only sell you a standard clutch, which won't be suffient.

At a very high price too most likely!

Do it right the first time.

Cut the sales BS.

Its a standard 240mm clutch that offers the ability to handle stage 2 torque. The parts list I replied with gives a value for money approach for road cars with the occasional drag/track.

Since when has £260 been a very high price compared with your offerings?

It's fine for some bloke on the internet to recommend that an OEM clutch is the one to go for on a car with upto 370bhp, but in the trade we have to stand by our recommendations.

I would not recommend a OEM clutch at that level.

We stock and sell the Exedy OEM 240mm STi clutch kits as well as uprated options btw

Is that an OEM kit for a 2.0 or 2.5 engine
You may find a bit of a difference
But of course you knew that.

I'm more than happy to accept your technical reasoning and not sales push why a 2.5 240mm clutch isn't a good upgrade for a 2.0 engine.

You could try http://www.walldonwaypartsshop.co.uk
Don't buy the OEM release bearing as it costs IRO £130!
The same Exedy item can be bought from Ebay for £30.
