Hi guys
Well I'm after a clutch for my classic future power will be about 400bhp what clutch will be good for this I don't want a twin plate as the sound does my head in.
Also is a lighten flywheel needed for a road car do the lighter flywheels help??
Any advice would be great

 

Exedy do a clutch for that power I think, pink box??

 

AP Racing for me ..........

 

Yeah iv heard of the "pink box" clutches, are the ap the paddle clutches?? As want as close to stock pedal feel as poss.. I no I'm prob asking a lot but after 3 years of a twin plate in my other car want to stay away, and my dad had a cossie with a ap paddle and his left leg looks like its on steroids it's that hard press ha

 

Not a paddle but is a fair bit stiffer than standard using an organic driven plate ....

 

As my car is a 1997 sti would it be worth getting the bigger flywheel so i can fit the bigger clutch?? if so whick flywheel do i need thanks

 

230mm clutch,i think the flywheels are all the same but not sure,may need skimming .....

 

Hmmm, when are you planning on fitting said clutch?
Point being is that you can do it after your engine rebuild but then you need to take into consideration if you are going to rebuild your gearbox to take the power or if you are going to go 6 speed?
Either way I wouldnt go for a paddle clutch, and a decent clutch to take a fair amount of torque wont be cheap, check the prices first but your gearbox will need to be taken into consideration I think, but AP or Helix are good makes, look at over 700 quid for a decent one though.

Twin plate is an overkill for 400hp but if the budget allows go for it! At 400hp,I would be looking at an AP Racing clutch, Exedy pink box or Helix organic kit

 

I have a exedy hyper carbon twin plate fitted at the min, but its just the noise after years of a twin plate the noise is getting to me haha.. i do a lot of town driving and the mrs use's the car so just trying make it user friendly as poss..
I thought i could get away with a lesser clutch as i was't going for big bhp

 

go for a ap racing clutch they feel just like a std clutch and no judder what so ever,stay away from exedy,ive had two exedy clutchs both pink box and both were rubbish,both had judder!

 

Cheers mate where did you get the ap from what model do I ask for

 

PM me about your current twin plate mate please

 

ACT clutch & you're sorted.

 

I changed my Exedy pink box after 2000 miles because I couldn't stand the judder any longer. The AP I replaced it with feels like standard & has taken plenty of stick.

 

this is where i got mine.

Helix organic fitted to my car with uprated pressure plate. Works very well and feels like oe.

Thanks for the extra opinions guys now I don't no which 1 choose ha

 

just dont buy anything exedy!

 

i no what you mean,the juddering drives you mad! i couldn't be leave how much better the ap one was over the exedy,the first exedy was in the car for about 5k then had it removed to see why it was so bad and have a new fly wheel fitted to see if that stopped the judder,when removed the clutch was fooked,it had'nt been clamping right.
so then had new flywheel and exedy clutch fitted and still had judder,so about 3k later had exedy removed and ap racing fitted on the same flywheel,and guess what no judder what so ever and ive done about 8k now and still no judder!

 

i would go for the ap single plate clutch, worked fine on my 500+ fat heavy newage, apparantly somebody is using one in a 750+ newage, might be fantasy island though

 

another vote for ACT here !

 

Wow 500 is good on a ap at least it will be well within its limits on my car! What are these act good for bhp wise and where you guys buying them from
Cheers

 

Im running my ACT at over 500bhp and around 475ft/lbs has had a lot of drag launches and abuse. Import from the states yourself or try Bren @ Apex performance

 

Do you have the part number of the clutch and did you get it from the states?

 

Did you have any import tax on this item? have you got a link to the company

Cheers

 

look here https://www.scoobynet.com/trader-ann...flywheels.html

mine is this one i do believe SB4 XTSS Xtreme Org WRX STI EJ20 02-05 V8-9 JDM £629.00 565lb/ft

Have a look on American e bay, i didn't get stung for tax, but no guarantees !

 

fpmsl! Ooops, should have gone to specsavers.....

 

yeah agreed do not buy and exceedy one as ive went through two in under a year at that hp on a 2.0. And what i mean is i broke the them to little bits and i don't even launch my car, it was meant to be and uprated one i know have an ap 5 speed in my six speed box and its doing juts fine any thing like the extreme clutches or helix ones will see you right

 

Good price them ap's £600! is there a cheaper option as like i say im not going for big bhp..
