Clutch kit for turbo ix?

[madman23]

What clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel is everyone using? I will be making 350hp and around 300ftlbs to the wheels. I have found very few companies that say ix specific. I know stock for stock the pressure plate part number is different but I really cant figure out what the difference is. Clutch pn is the same though. Any info will help. Thanks.

there's really nothing ix specific about the ix clutch. it's a standard M20 single mass flywheel. Originally, we had a stiffer pressure plate than the RWD guys, but they merged those part #s ages ago. they are completely interchangeable.

Sachs 618 plate.

[nando]

^ agreed. Lots of capacity, drives like stock.

[madman23]

Awsome. Thanks for the info guys.

Does the 618 come with a clutch? And where is the best place to buy from?

[nando]

The 618 is just the pressure plate.

So I assume you just run the stock clutch disc? Is that good for around 350-400hp?

[nando]

I would run the sport disc.

Fyi, clutches are rated by torque, not hp. I believe the sachs 618pp holds 250nm with a stock disc (it might have been 300nm but i can't remember exactly). A sport disc should be more.

[Nisse Järnet]

Sachs says 450nm with stock disc I believe, and that's on the low side :)

where did you guys buy your 618? And is the "sport" and "hd" any different? I was thinking about running a centerforce clutch disc with the Sachs 618.

[madman23]

Is there a part number for the sport or HD? I just can't see how a stock clutch can hold that much torque. Can anyone recommend a flywheel that isn't aluminum?

[Nisse Järnet]

There's only one sachs 618. Use stock M20 flywheel.
I get most of my parts from PPF but they're in Sweden :P

[madman23]

So I went with a Sachs 618 Pressure plate and a clutcmasters fx350 disc. I will update this thread once its in the car. Thanks for all the advice.

[CrazyPrime]

Let me know what happens madman, and where did you get just the disc from clutchmasters? How much did the plate and clutch run you?
