Hi so i bought a mk1 vrs meant to have a sache sre clutch and pressure plate in it, ive removed it from the car as im having a engine rebuild and this is what i find. Luk duel mass flywheel, luk pressure plate with a sache clutch disk with a bit of dodgy weld in the middle. It was holding 512nm fine befour removed but im going for arround 330hp so wanna know if this can take it befour i buy a paddle clutch thanks

How the hell would we know just by looking at a few pictures.

Since you've got it all in bits you should replace the whole lot since whatever it is is now pretty secondhand.

If you can get part numbers off the clutch plates then someone will enjoy cross-referencing them for you.

But a refitting a secondhand clutch is a false economy, get a new Helix kit for complete peace of mind.

Throw that in the bin

What make?

 

going big power i would only be considering a Single Mass flywheel, a duel mass flywheel will die very shortly with that power.

 

Helix clutch and single mass flywheel is what you want. Circa £880

Oh well i would cross everything. Cheap permormance clutches never last. Drop a Helix or a SACHS in and you know your good! these other manufacturers it’s a hold the breath moment

I had a Max Torque 'stage 3' clutch kit, 7000 miles and it was slipping with 350lbft torque, took weeks and a few reminders to get a replacement from them.

 

It was juddery when pulling away and really bad juddering when reversing.

 

Brought a proper clutch to replace it, a sachs SRE with organic disc (darkside SMF kit), done 27k on the sachs with no issues so far

Yeh sre are really good clutches just spend a fortune on car so cant be forking out for a sre. Ive seen a few use max torque no problems and a few that have but its only 75 to resurface the clutch disk if it goes wromg so cant conplain
