General Uprated Clutch

[cinq 1.4 turbo]

Can anyone recomend a decent clutch that would take upto 180bhp (to be on the safe side).
Dont really want a paddle clutch,also if there is anyone knows of a cheap place to get it.

Thanks Theresa

Not necessarily, that would only be the case if it has been wrongly designed, most paddle clutches have a fork to go with it so it requires the same force to apply. If you have a hydro clutch then it should be no problem.

I've used GST clutches and they seem to hold, i've had them on all my turbo projects and only the first slipped (it was a stock replacement GST).

OMP is also really good but it's reflected on the price. To hold 180hp you will be on the edge of a streetable clutch on the Uno turbo since beyond 200hp most people don't consider the car to be very streetable.

On my last project i've gone beyond the holding power of the FIRE engine clutches so i'm looking at other vehicles for compatibility.

What sort of power can a fast road clutch handle?
As a rally spec one is going to cost over £300 and i dont want to pay that much if i can get away with a fast road item.

How much power are you expecting? I think the Uno turbo boys should answer this anyway since it's their area
