Most power/torque on a standard sti 6 speed clutch ??!!
 
Eveing all,

What's is the most power and torque ran on a standard Sti 6 speed clutch?
What do you guys run power wise on your clutches ?

I'm looking to change my clutch on my 04 blob 6 speed Sti as its on 97k and running 440/400 on a gt30.
Now, it's still doesn't slip (well only when launched and get 2nd gear) but on track and a lot of other track based events it still performs faultlessly even with 255 Federall rsr's. Car is mainly used for track.
I'm thinking of maybe just putting a standard clutch back in again as its done so well? Or maybe a pink box?, I appreciate torque kills clutchs.
Would like people's thiughts and opinions in what's there tunning and prices etc.
Cheers Chris

I'm sure Shaun is running close on 500 bhp on a standard clutch in his JDM Hawk STI.

As Maz has said.... 490/475 on a standard clutch so far, but this is for road use. I haven't dared to do a standing launch (not that I would want to), as I suspect it would kill the clutch.


The OEM clutches, if respected, appear to take some proper power. However, I wouldn't be putting a standard one back in when it goes.


It's torque that kills clutches.

Don't get much time through the day at work for calls. I'm either chasing my arse about or busy with MOT testing, or its rang off by the time I get to it.
