anyone running quite high power through a type 9 what clutch do you run?
i have around 260lbft and run a 7.25 ap racing single plate clutch but its savage and not nice at all to use.
im wanting to know if can change to a paddle and it will take the torque and make it more drivable
thanks
Speak to Helix - they do sprung centred paddle type and heavy duty organic plates which should help your situation
I have a 200mm lightweight flywheel with a sprung AP clutch which copes with 300 ft/lb. All from Burtons.

309ftlb with mine and the standard ford galaxy clutch is fine
Ben,
Thats really interesting - what flywheel are you using?
Galaxy clutch and pressure plate?

Hi mate. Vauxhall 8v flywheel from C20NE I believe and Galaxy 2.8 petrol friction plate with Vauxhall pressure plate.
Bit of a mix of components!
cool cheers for that!
Wonder if that clutch plate would be too big for my vvc flywheel
I had helix make up a 6 paddle sprung clutch for my DB7, 385hp 370ft/lb torque, 240mm it feels like a standard organic clutch apart from very little
snatching if you try and pull away with very low revs.
It provides a much lighter pedal with their matched cover than the original DMF effort it replaced, I was concerned it would be on/off, that's
not the case in my instance.
215mm flywheel with
AP CP5354-38 clutch
AP CP2511-1 cover
288 ft lb
I'm actually going to be taking this off the care as I really need a 184mm flywheel clutch for the Sequential. This 4 paddle is heavy (with
cable clutch) but you can slip it fine and it drives on the road fine.

Drop me a PM with the details of your setup and I'll take a look.
the 215mm setup will be less than £700 for the cover plate/clutch/flywheel. Have a look at the Burton site for prices.
Hi Ben
A small deviation in topic, but why the 8v flywheel? Lighter?/stronger?/Cheaper?

Lightweight and it's the only flywheel that I could find that would fit due to the bolt pattern on the z20let. Different to the older c20lets.
The original flywheel was a big lump and not very sporty.

My helix 6 paddle from mardigras Motorsport 6 paddle kit is £450.13 plus vat last year + £25 for a new release bearing.

I maybe barking up the wrong tree here but...
My flywheel/cover/ paddle are all for a Pinto. If you have a 215mm flywheel that will take a Pinto clutch made for the Sigma then you can use the
same AP items as mine. 1" x 23 will be the same regardless.
