VR6 clutch

Recommended Posts

Given that it is common to use the VR6 friction plate on a 20vt swap, what power levels will they take realistically?

 

Thanks

Not so much the friction plate as the pressure plate that won't hold and slip after 200hp.

Either get the plate reinforced or get a proper, uprated version, preferably like the Sachs version that has a solid hub and holds up to 400Nm of torque. Do it once, do it right but at €500+ it's costly..

Which reminds me, I have a spare Competion Clutch with a copper 4 puck disk that I used briefly years ago on a Turboed corrado that got pranged. Only 800km's drivin on it, still has the running in hash marks.

Whilst your in there, get a reinforced clutch operating arm too, they sometimes bend with the O/E clutchs, imagine a heavily uprated plate..
