Hi,

Looking for a new clutch because mines on its way out.

Power I'm aiming for will be around 200bhp//310lb torque.

I've seen this clutch, would it be upto it? Only drive road use, and odd spirited drive.

Thanks in advance.

At that price, it's probably only capable of handling standard torque, and possibly even less than a new OEM clutch.

If it was uprated, they'd be able to charge more for it and still undercut people like Sachs, so I can only assume it's priced in competition with standard parts.

Would this be better? Still cheap, advertising in PVW magazine.

They are suitable for cars with more than 25% increased horsepower & torque than the standard production model.

From that wording, that's no better than a standard clutch. OEM clutch can take around 300lb/ft, 25% over standard output on an ASZ engine is 295lb/ft (236*1.25).

At that power I'd stick with OEM. Ross has been running his with no issues I think, pretty sure he gives it some stick too.

Ok, I can get trade at Eurocarparts but they only do LUK or Sachs which one would be best?

I've got the ceramic clutch plate from them combined with a new OEM sach's pressure plate, running Turbotechnics S210 turbo.

So far its held up nicely, whereas before my clutch would slip; car was on ~72k when installed, now on 78k and running fine.
