ollie_ 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ok, so I'm going to be fitting the LSD to the VR soon, but was going to put off doing the clutch as I thought it was ok...however, went for a country lane rip the other day, and after about 20mins of hard hard driving, it stared slipping going into third. SO, I'm going to fork out and do clutch too.The conditions to meet are:-210hp(ish?) Daily driver that'll have the wavetrac diff in.-Not often I launch it as I'm no all that into drag racing, more gettin power down properly once moving-I frequent b roads a fair bit, so that's when the aggressive clutch work happens-it's going to be turbo'd very soon, and I'll be aiming for between 350 - 400hp probably.So which type, and brand should I be looking at for those conditions?All help and experiences appreciated Ta!

ollie_ 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Really? Even for when it's turbo'd? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Jim Potter ran a standard clutch in his for quite a long time. Think he then put a helix paddle clutch in it.I have a paddle clutch in my turbo'd R32 Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 always worth putting a uprated clutch in when going turbo if you can afford it ..... Link to post Share on other sites

russj249 2 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have a standard Sachs clutch in my turbo.. its 360bhp and 340ft lbs torque and it handles it ok. I haven't got an LSD just yet though, which is probably easier on the clutch as the wheels spin a little easier. Been running it since December and still feels like it did when I did the conversion.However, money no object, and while you're fitting an LSD, put a helix in, its just easier in the long run, and future proofs your car.

ollie_ 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 So, mixed things really then?Standard will take power more power, but helix will protect it future... Ok!What's the deal with materials then? Organic? Carbon Kevlar etc? Link to post Share on other sites
