Helix clutch

[Lyall]

So basically I won a revo remap and am going to go stage 2 I think. My question is have people got experience with these clutches at stage 2 and handling it ?

Save forking out twice the price for a Sachs one !!

Think a few people on here running stage 2+ have them


I'm sure VrsAlex is running one on his octavia?

Perfect , was not sure if it was just a slight upgrade or capable of the power !

People feedback would be good

I have the Helix clutch (supplied and fitted by Mr vRS above) and its more than happy dealing with my Stage2+ Eddy. Pedal feel is a touch stiffer than OEM but not a lot more IMHO. Tis also worth considering adding a new DMF at the same time.

Mate, will I notice much difference in performance over the standard clutch?

obviously if the clutch is slipping, any replacement will be good lol, but mine is fine atm!

Tempted to see how long I can hold on, but if the GB is a good price, then I think realistically I would have to go for it.

if my current OEM clutch is working 100%, will the helix one feel any better? Will it hold the power better etc?

Cheers

When having my stage 2 map done my OEM clutch started to slip so a uprated clutch was needed, especially before I added any more power/torque. The big increase in torque at stage 2 = OEM clutch FUBAR!!   

If your OEM one is fine then wait to see if you need to upgrade IMHO, may not be required. I really don't notice mine being any stiffer now partly due to getting used to it but also because its a very OEM feel to be honest. There's also no noise or clunking.

hahaha!! I've read that people have had to change theirs while running standard power and some people claim theyve ran stage 2+ for thousands of miles and not had to change


its a catch 22 really, if the GB is a good saving I will get one, because knowing my luck, the OEM clutch will die just after the GB ends hahah

My Sachs kit (fitted new DMF at same time) has been faultless.  Has done around 50k, I'm hoping it has life in it yet as it hasn't had a hard life.  I did get a squeal that I assumed to be the clutch slipping on a steep section at Cadwell park at WOT.

I'm interested in trying the Helix kit as it's very well tested on Alex's motor

I believe this is what alex has put in mine :)
