Hi all, I've just brought a gti with AGU under the bonnet and the clutch is gone, long term this engine is going in the front of my mk2 with a few engine mods Was wondering if any one had any suggestions for a good clutch upgrade or performance clutch kit. The aim is to be running around 280bhp so need something that can handle that sort of power.
std sachs/luk VR6 unit should be ok for that I expect? what sort of toruqes are you expecting as thats more what you need to worry about rather than bhp
Hi John Thanks for the info, im really not sure what torque to expect :S I will be running AGU with K04 turbo and emerald ECU will have uprated injectors and fuel pump probs have a standard manifold to start with but stainless 3" downpipe to 2.5" stainless mk2 16v exhaust and some sort of high flow intake system. Does that help give you an idea of what torque to expect?
ok so i takei it as no1 has said anything else a vr6 clutch is probs the best way to go, would i need to use vr flywheel too?
G60 fly wheel but this is what i bought. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-G60-FLYWHEEL-6-PADDLE-VR6-HEAVY-DUTY-CLUTCH-KIT-/260925841140?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc0645ef4#ht_1815wt_1399
When its finnished im looking for around the 400 mark but it all depends on the map also those clutches can be had cheaper if you catch them on auction and not buy it now think i paid around 225 starting bid no other bids so can be had cheap.
iv got a g60 solid flywheel and vr6 clutch for sale plenty of life left in the clutch too 80 delivered
