Clutch torque capacity
« on: July 14, 2017, 04:13:18 pm »
How much torque can the standard clutch reliably cope with? I appreciate the answer will vary according to age of clutch / life it has had / aggressiveness of spool up etc but am looking for some real life examples of what people are experiencing. How does it cope for example with stage 2+ with a k03?!?

I went Stage 1 at around 80k and it was fine... I went stage 2 around 120k and it slipped a bit, but it drove ok if you didn't boot it from low revs. This was on a spikey " off the shelf " map though, there are much better linear custom maps from the likes of rtech that will give you all the power and torque but not in a fashion to destroy the clutch and tyres.

As you rightly point out, it varies wildy  :happy2:
