both me and t3tone are running a grey with no probs he has got 180 bannanas so you should be ok.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

Im currently running a grey, modded plate and putting 165llbft through with no probs.... how does the spring sit when its assembled Steve?

is the spring flat when assembled? I've never seen a clutch setup be right from new parts, they always need to be machined.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

i too am running a grey with an organic race rally plate with no problemos

what flywheel and back pate are you running?

Benross
which cam are you using?
when you are talking about machined, flat or moded?
is it machined for correct heigh to be flat , machined to be flat then leave what Dave recommend to compensate distortion, or just machined from 22...to 21...??
t2 clubby 165lb thru a grey is good! what's moded in your palte?
how did you set your?

Fab, mine is machined to 23.5mm so that the spring sits flat when assembled, before this it was slipping at only 140ish llbft..... I'm expecting it to slip again when I next up the power...

Well the flywheels kindley off of fast carl and the back plates kindley off of Vegard both lightend and ballanced
ap race plate
the back plates been fly cut perfect ! off the pillars 1.6mm

three straps and machined pillars to take into consideration the lightning the works just fine!!!

its simpley too much Torque!

and yes carl ...lol its a lard fooker

Fab its a phase 2 cam with my trick head

clubby the spring sits perfet to the though!
and its a nice pedal

anyway more to come on mapped ignition shortley

yup, me and T2 clubby both got our backplates machined at the same time as his was slipping so we modded them as per dave's guide on the MM site i think it was, lugs down to 23.5mm and the spring sits nice and flat. only using 2 driving straps and a single grey with one of these plates http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=38317
both of us were running 165lb/ft at avon and had no clutch issues.


As you say ben you've either got too much torque for a single grey, or you've been riding the clutch like a granny...lol

Hmmm - if you're using three straps, then you need around another 0.7/0.8mm off the lugs to take this into account. 23.5mm works for two (six total) straps. If - for whatever reason - you want to run three straps, then it needs more taking off.
Personally - I'd just run two straps.

I also assume you're running the AP Rally Plate, with the dark grey, not the light brown friction lining?

However - this is not too suprising in reality; a 1380 makes more curly-wurlies than a nat-asp. Add a turbo to it and it multiplies to this already increased curly-wurly factor to make a shed load more curly-wurlies; And it's curly-wurlies, not bananas that will find the limit of a clutch.

i used to love curley wurleys as a kid i love them even more now ive got a 1380 turbo lol.

I noticed when I ground Wolfies lugs down that the nearly new backplate was approx .010"concave ,if viewed from the lug side.
Checked by standing it on the lugs on a surface table and running a clock underneath.
Don't know how much effect that would have on the grip level,but I think it distorts due to the heat of it slipping

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

to be honest

this motors producing some large numbers

this is the reason
will find out how much a shade later on

i have "analysed" a 1380 phase2 addicted with a st3 head (mintec flow chart) together with a 0.75 nozzle (3000 boost treeshold) , and it calc some 182 curley at 4000....
