f**k ramming 18psi back through a T25. It isn't going to live long. Compressor surge is a b**ch.
Plus above 14psi a T25 starts to super heat the air in it. Hot air pump FTL.
Don't do the parents insurance option.
Fully comp will be about £1800.
Just get a 106 GTi. Nearly the same pace and only about £680 to insure.
Saything that i pay £670 to insure my MX5 @ 20 with 1 years ncb.
Give Helix clutches a call. Tell them what torque you'll expect to be running then tell them you want a kevlar disk.
I've got a custom Helix organic/kevlar clutch. It drives and engages just like a normal clutch except it'll handle 260lb/ft.
It is a bit costly though. I think the final...
2 Points
1) I don't think it'll ever be able to cope with the torque you will produce
2) Its 4 puck clutch that means it'll be very on/off in the engagement. Makes setting off a ball ache and it will kill your already weak 172 box and driveshafts.
Going on my MX5. My car has a T25 which is Saab fitment. So barring oil and water lines the saab TD04HL-15T should be a straight swap as the exhaust housings are the same.
