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 **** about or busy with MOT testing, or its rang off by the time I get to it.
