Title: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Lids on November 08, 2009, 21:21:07 pm I am in the process of having my new engine put together. Not quite finalized but it will either be 82x94 or 84x94, both using a webcam 86c, IDA's on 44 x 37 heads with about 10:1CR. So we will be in the region of 200bhp.
What clutch should I use? Have a KEP stage II, will this be okay, should I change the standard supplied disc to something else? What are people using? Choices, KEP, Daiken, Copperhead??? Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Andrimot on November 08, 2009, 21:41:34 pm what kind of use?
Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Steve D. on November 08, 2009, 21:44:58 pm I prefer a stage 2 kennedy and a rag disk- I've been happy with the regular unsprung daiken or valeo disks, but I've been impressed with the chinese kush loc I have in the car currently- really nice and forgiving to drive, but sticks just fine- that's with a 1900+ car/driver and 217 wheel hp.

Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Black Sheep on November 08, 2009, 22:01:02 pm I'd go for a Kennedy stage II with a Daikin
Im pushing close to 180 bhp and find my stage I slips a bit under load , gonna step up to a stage two "got one today " and try it with my old Daikin . Hope it will hold onto it a bit better , will let you know ;) Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Lids on November 08, 2009, 22:13:53 pm Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Lids on November 08, 2009, 22:15:11 pm I'd go for a Kennedy stage II with a Daikin Im pushing close to 180 bhp and find my stage I slips a bit under load , gonna step up to a stage two "got one today " and try it with my old Daikin . Hope it will hold onto it a bit better , will let you know ;) what about the balancing of the bottom end? Mine is been dynamically balanced as a complete unit, hence why I need to sort clutch now. Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Lanny Hussey on November 08, 2009, 22:19:02 pm After many different experiments, the KEP 2/Daikin Super is a combo that will work, no questions.
Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Black Sheep on November 08, 2009, 22:24:00 pm Had my old clutch balanced with the flywheel & crank , probably gonna get the new kennedy stage II spun up with just the flywheel .
Fingers crossed this shoud be fine , and will keep an eye on it , was possibly thinking bout a bottom end strip down over the winter , so if all's not well will get it all spun up together before I bolt it back together Oh saw a empi ash tray same as your avatar at slough today . Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Andrimot on November 08, 2009, 22:52:58 pm go with the daikin without fear
and save your money also! Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: glenn on November 08, 2009, 22:53:16 pm I'm very happy with my KEP Stage 1 and ACE Copperhead disc.
The hotter it gets, the better it grabs.

Smooth on the street and grips well on the track...best ET 12.9 seconds at 104 MPH so far... Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Black Sheep on June 11, 2010, 18:04:50 pm well I guess I wont be trying my new kennedy with my old daikin
(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff84/49-rag/DSC00073.jpg) 6500 launch's plus 5 year old clutch's dont mix ::) Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Martin Greaves on June 11, 2010, 18:28:04 pm Just glue it back together and you will have 5 more years out of it. ;D
Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: pupjoint on June 12, 2010, 00:32:31 am ACE Copperhead for me
Title: Re: Which clutch for a type 200bhp Post by: Fiatdude on June 12, 2010, 06:28:02 am Lids -- -- I would recommend balancing without the clutch ------- just in case you have to replace them down the road or you'll have to disassemble and re balance -- most disc and PP come prebalanced
