matty.vrt 120 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Helix 4 paddle clutch held 500bhp nicely but the gearbox did not last long at that very good clutch. Link to post Share on other sites

matty.vrt 120 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yes it is fine slightly heavier and need a couple more revs for smoother engagement but that's just life if you want 400bhp lol. Link to post Share on other sites
vr6guy 29 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yes it is fine slightly heavier and need a couple more revs for smoother engagement but that's just life if you want 400bhp lol.I could put up with that made 300 bhp on 7 psi so am interested to see what 14 psi gives Sorry to keep askin questions but on the clutch... They sell the friction plate, pressure plate and bearing... Is the pressure plate essential? Or can the standard one take the power? Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I would buy the full kit the standard pressure plate will not have the clamping force required to run the 4 puck friction plate, the reason they sell them seperate is for second time round when your looking to replace your looking to renew like for like.
