Clutch Setup.
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi, Just a double check before I order really.

Boost is going to be around 15psi and higher on a 1293 block, phase 2 cam and eventually a ported head.

Ive done some research as to what will be the setup to go for and ive added this to my minispares basket:) :


PRESSURE PLATE DIAPHRAGM CLUTCH TYPE PRE VERTO



CLUTCH DIAPHRAGM DOUBLE GREY RACE,FOR SINTERED PLATES



CLUTCH PLATE AP RACING ROAD / RALLY PLATE 180mm



I've got a minispares ultralight steel flywheel too. Does this setup all seem kosha for the spec?

Cheers guys.

thats sounds the same as mine i think

Noice, i shall make the purchase

double grey might be overkill, only use a single grey on mine running 15psi and same on keans running up to 20psi.

Most important bit is making sure the flywheel assembly is setup and spaced right.

Yeah will do Nick, I worry too much that i do things wrong so I check and re check!

Read on turbo Phil's site and from a post by him when searching on here that a single grey is at the limit at these sort of specs so I was gonna play it safe and get the double grey!!

i have just killed a single grey with the back plate lugs machined off at 14 psi on my 1380

i will up this to a double when i have time

sorry i misread again

I have a single grey in mine

go for single grey for that spec

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

Mines single, altough i havent driven the car yet, but from the sounds of it yopu should be ok.

Is the car heavy??

1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

Nah it wont be, hopefully! Would it hurt putting a double grey on just for piece of mind? What are the disadvantages of overkilling the diaphragm to the spec then?

Cheers

Load on the Crank Thrust Bearings is the main problem. If you can afford to go double go for it mate.

Carl combated this problem by drilling holes through the thrust in the oil gallery, but tbh i cant see you having probs so long as you dont sit there with your clutch pressed in.

Hmmm gonna go single grey then, if i have any probs i'll just get a double grey.

Cheers fellas

Single grey does seem fine for most folks, though i know mine wouldn't take more than 15psi, even with the lug heights machined. Been on the double grey for 2+ years now.
