Clutch options for a turbo 182

[George182]

From what I have read most turbo conversions on here use helix paddle clutches.

I have been in touch with helix and the 4 paddle clutch is only rated for 230lbft of torque!

​Are there any other options?

 

[Laine_16v]

They take the torque, dont worry.

 

[George182]

Are you using the standard or uprated cover?

 

[Dan519]

Cover should be upgraded before the plate. More clamping force is what holds the torque

 

[Laine_16v]

I use stock cover and 4 paddle friction.

I have had no issue with slippage.

Same as above. No issues at 300lbft.

 

[George182]

Thanks guys - that's what I'll go for then!

If your going low pressure conversion keep the standard setup and save your money.

I am using a forged engine and a GT2860. With the aim to run 280bhp ish.

 

[WilkyWay]

You'll need to uprate the clutch then.

Helix 4 puk with helix pressure plate for me.

New release bearing and 4 paddle clutch ordered

Why not the helix organic setup?

 

[George182]

I believe the 4 paddle is supposed to be slightly more heavy duty
