clutch needed for a stage 2+ k03??

[Stooey]

I'm planning on going from stock to stage 2+ soon as have all the hardware but wondering if I will require an uprated clutch? I could in theory be running around 290 bhp and 360lbft

Cheers

360ft lb.......err YES!

You will need one eventually. But niki can put different map settings on if it does start to slip, but then you'll be driving around with less power than it's capable of.. And that hurts lol. If you can afford one defo get one.

Niki is the master, but yes get a clutch buddy

Cheers for the reply guys, is it best to get the clutch before the map incase it starts slipping thilst getting mapped and not being able to be tunned to its full potential?

Also what clutch is recommended for it? I he's alot of folk on about helex clutches

[Orc]

Well if it does start slipping he will map it down scale however he will say no doubt get clutch and bring it back and won't charge you as much I'm sure he is the best tuner I have ever met great guy and so genuine. When my ecu locked out he swapped it with a spare he had and I'm so great full.

That's very fair but I will be heading down from Scotland so only plan to do it once haha

No point in adding the stage 2+ mods if your only going to scale it back. Go hard or go home  (and buy a Helix clutch from ALEX @ AKS)

[Stooey]

Anybody know roughly how much the clutch is? Just so I have a target to save to lol

[PT82]

£460 ish plus flywheel, bolts, slave cylinder and labour.

Budget £900 - £1000

Standard fuel pump is plenty good enough for k03 car dude, the upgrade pumps are more for the k04 set ups if you want to surpass the 300bhp barrier, k03's aren't good for 300bhp+ so no need for upgrade pump.. Other bits sound good though
