What clutch to 250-260hp N/A 2854cc engine? Trans will be bus 002/091.


At the moment i have on the shelf kep stage 2 pressureplate and 200mm copperhead disc.


And yes, engine will give that HP and probably more torque than 200ft lb.



Thinking Kep 3 and copperhead clutch with long arm.


Kep stage 2 holds 220ft lbs = 298nm of torque with organic disc


Kep stage 3 holds 260ft lbs = 352nm of torque with organic disc.

Ok,  i have driven with kep stage 2 pplate and organic disc more than 20000kms, it felt okay, newer slipped and not too stiff.

I think i'll get stage 3 with current copperhead disc, dont want to have slipping clutch :)

Last year I used stage 3 with copperhead disc and that combination was very easy to use at street but it was more than enough for drag strip also. Only problem for me was that copperhead disc seems to wear out very fast. This summer I used same stage 3 with progrip disc and it felt allmost the same as copperhead but it wasn´t nearly as worn when I took it apart.

Ok, I didnt know that  :o  Thats not a good thing if it wears out in one summer.

There is big price difference between progrip and copperhead
