High power clutch > 550lb/ft

Post by Johnny G »

I'm thinking I'm going to need to change my clutch soon, the RPS Max Puk, rated to 525lb/ft might not be up to the torque of the increased boost that the car will be running.

What's the options, without going for one that doesn't have an integrated flywheel? The V6 has a different flywheel PCD to the 3SGTE so they're off the table...

Thanks in advance.

For the torque your going to be seeing, i wouldnt even contemplate a single plate.

How much difference is there between the two flywheel PCDs?

It's not a great deal - 3-4mm IIRC - suppose it could be drilled?

Also seen there's an ACT clutch, the XTG6, that is apparently capable of taking 645lb/ft. Thoughts?
