steve-gers Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I need some help picking a clutch for my EP82 which I am planning to convert to a manual sometime in the next couple of months. It's a TD04 so to be on the safe side I want something that is capable of running 240-250bhp even though I will most likely be mapping to 220-230 I'd rather overspec than underspec. Don't really want to spend any more than £300 if possible, the less the better and it doesn't matter if it's normal or paddle clutch. If people could tell me what clutch they have and what is good and bad about it that would be great. Also how many miles roughly do you get out of uprated clutches with mixed driving? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Ive got one of these/>http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=15_27&products_id=182 cheapest branded paddle clutch that i know of, theres a fair few people with these clutches on this forum.Good clutch, cant fault it, got a nice peddle considering its a paddle, ill be running close too 300 soon, so ill see how it holds up then lol.

ro55ifumi Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The Spec 6 drives nice and not too aggressive, i have one in my Forged motor running 278bhp with no issues so would recommend them and as stated TD has them John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Agree with Starbo and ro55ifumi I have run the same clutch from TD awsome bit of kit great price for a geat clutch I'm running td04 at 1 bar so not as powerful as those two boys but it's never misses a hit and real easy to drive with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 That tuning developments clutch looks pretty good. Any idea of how many miles it will last on a TD04 @ 1-1.1 bar? Most of my driving is on rural roads just sitting at 60-70 most of the time with some spirited driving from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbo Moorley Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Long as you.make it last tbh mate lol should last along while if your doin mainly motorway mileage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steve-gers Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 What we talking about 60k miles or more? The clutch in my old corsa redtop did 112k miles before it gave up but I doubt very much it will do that many miles haha.Cheers for that link socks don't have alot of funds just now but I will see what it goes for and try and get it.

Mike@TD.co.uk Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 We sell a lot of the SPEC clutches, they work well, we still run the same clutch in Nicks GT which has been on various engines for the last 5 years!We also offer it with a 3.8kg lightweight flywheel for £599.00 CheersMike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hmmm tempting, I will need to see what my wages are like on the 15th. It is a daily driven car so does clock up the miles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 There's a stage 1/2 exedy organic clutch on tgtt for £75 posted but not sure if it will handle the TD04 I will post pictures below to see if anyone can identify it.Picture 1Picture 2Picture 3Picture 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone know anything or have any knowledge or opinion on this clutch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike@TD.co.uk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone know anything or have any knowledge or opinion on this clutch?We've replaced a few of those, failed in very little mileage.Never fitted one, only took them out. So maybe they were bad ones that we saw.CheersMike JonesTuning Developments Ltd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liam_D Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I run a Blitz Active clutch. Properly hardcore bit of kit. Might be a bit over your budget though! Heard good things about Tuning Developments SPEC clutches though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack-CTR Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Get a ACT stage 5 Was rated to about 450 lbft i think had one in the civic and took abuse all day long on track days about 30 runs at pod and a year of driving and was still running perfectly when i sold itnot overly expensive eitherharsh bite on it tho, literaly all or nothing, no biting point so was fun pulling of at 4k in the wet haha Edited December 8, 2012 by Jack-CTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jack-CTR Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Over spec it and you havent.got to worry about it breaking.and can really abuse it ( in a safe appropriate manner )glanza is running 280bhp on a spec 6 pad and it feels lile.a standard clutch to me, havent had it slipping yet, will see on track or at pod next year when i give it some.death Edited December 9, 2012 by Jack-CTR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
