Renault 21 turbo helix competition clutch cover - new £135

Checked the specs with Helix.

With an organic driven plate it will handle 306 Nm or 225 lbft of torque, with a cerametallic driven plate it will handle 382 Nm or 281 lbft of torque.

I'm not sure how much better it is than a standard cover. A standard cover and driven plate obviously doesn't have problems with the standard torque figure of 199 lbft but someone with more experience may know where its limits are.

A Std cover with the cerametallic plate will take 300lb/ft....in fact the Fuego has this setup at 310lb/ft with no slip, so I wouldnt be too hasty in buying it.

depends on the powerband, if you got 310 lbft from 3000 until 6500 rpm then i can assure you that the std cover fails.If you only have a spike 310 lbft, then it will hold it.

Sachs powerclutches or cup covers in combination with a 4 paddle will do the trick. Thats just my opinion.

Andy's idea was also very good but needs adjustment on the bellhousing and flywheel.

Tilton does custom clutches, twin and tripple plates but they have $$$$$$$$$ sign's written in the plates.

For now i have the Ap 4paddle, optimised with kevlar between the pads and cup cover and bearing. It handles 430 Nm (318LBft) constant and 470Nm (348lbft)spike.

Think i'll just fit a R5 GT Turbo one to mine.....

i have a spare cup cover somewhere, if you wanna test it...

Hmmm. How much?

Still got this, ?100 ono?

 

[danb]

any idea what torque figure it can handle with 4-paddle

Probably somewhere similar to the figures Jo posted above
