Need better clutch for turbo
madteg - 13/4/09 at 05:58 PM

Not shaw what to do now had car on dyno only to find out clutch was slipping at 210BHP and revs going into red line. I am running std 2.0L pinto clutch at present. Should i go to a paddle plate ?.

(THANKS TO MATT AT MTECH.)

don't know is it would fit but how about a cosworth clutch ?

have you ever used a paddle clutch before? they can be a bit harder on the left leg, and are more snappy than a normal clutch. im sure there will be tuners out there that sell uprated clutches that arent paddle type

Will have a shop around, where would you suggest to look

My Son got a paddle clutch from Larkspeed for his sierra cosworth and it felt just like a standard cossy clutch
good price too

ps that was about 5 years ago

210 bhp with some slip! wow

From where I was standing beside the rolers it looked like it was spinning the wheels when the turbo kicked in rather than the clutch spinning.

Does it slip on the road?

Have noticed it slipping in fourth on full boost a couple of times but only very slightly, obbiously the dyno puts it under more load.

What about some sort of diesel clutch plate ? Designed to take more torque
