Anyone ever run a stock valeo clutch in a 240hp 180lbft f4r?

[ben_p]

Just about to buy a clutch, my car will be making the above fiqures but probably a bit less!

Trying to save buying a helix/alcon etc.

Do you think it will just melt on track/fast road? lol?

will last about a week

Depends how you drive it, I've never had any issues on a standard clutch and it's been in since new.

 

[ben_p]

just looking into volvo ones now!

Fred, how much is a OEM pressure plate and bearing?

 

[Fred@BTM]

entire oe valeo clutch is £100

 

[ben_p]

yeah, just hoping i can get it a bit cheaper if i dont need a plate! Can buy a helix cermetalic plate for £80

 

[Fred@BTM]

what's your existing cover like?

Well its done 16k, and it was slipping before I took the engine out, so not sure of the plate is blue or not (its at the machine shop)

had a 4 paddle cerametalic helix in my old SC saxo. was spot on, changed my pedal feel massively however but worth every penny. that was upwards of £400 back then though!

that was 250hp and with track abuse as a priority!

I know, really I should be pushing for a paddle.. but about to order my z4m lol

[Fred@BTM]

Thanks mate have you fitted many ? what sort of cost 172 ? any problems with em ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

a valeo supplied clutch is identical to a new one from renault (well all the ones i've seen anyway) but £50ish cheaper!

clutch is £100 for a valeo, fitting is a few quid, 7hour job give or take

Out of curiosity Fred, Do you do accept odd jobs? EG clutch changes etc at cash in hand prices?

Just wandering for when i need mine doing is all

Can get clutches built very cheap that will be able to handle 240 bhp no messing. A lot of the lads in the drag racing circuit use this bloke

Hes just fabricated a paddle clutch for my Ibiza for £160 and its fantastic. Hes also skimmed my solid flywheel and tested the pressure plate and its good for 350 - 400 bhp. The work is 1st class - just take your old clutch down with your flywheel and leave it with him

Didnt need a paddle clutch.
