you will need to know if you have a 200mm or 215mm clutch. only the correct one will fit on your flywheel.

its the 200 what is the best clutch for the power im running its got the ecu mod and is running 14psi
Scoff
16-01-2009, 20:08
the standard 215mm valeo will work fine for that mate.

sorry, typo. the standard in either case will work OK at 14psi.
Scoff

and by standard, I mean the GTT 'uprated' thing which is the same thing ofcourse.

what's the betting that you've already tried that one

you could find a 215mm flywheel and use the later clutch. the 200mm should have worked fine for you, if it lasted 2weeks then something killed it. you won't be making staggering torque at 14psi.

maybe its gotten contaminated, I used to kill paddle plates on one particular gearbox because the input shaft seal was leaking, always a layer of gearbox oil and crud inside the bellhousing and on the clutch cover. I bet it would see a normal clutch off just as quickly.

From GSF you can get a Sach's one and a Valeo one which is from the volvo, the volvo has 2 types which Scoff mentioned, a 200mm one and a 215mm (the 200mm is the uprated gt turbo one).

I'm using a 200mm Helix paddle clutch in my volvo engine and i'll be pushing alot of power/torque through mine so i might have to upgrade, but for your spec it should be fine. I've known a few volvo engines run a fair bit of boost on the 200mm paddle and it has held up, but at 14psi i can't see why a standard volvo one won't hold up.
