standard or heavy duty cheers

what kind of power/torque?

about 270-280 when i put on evo intercooler on.

alfa 156 gta clutch with walkers uprated coverplate would be okay for that sort of power.

Any more and you are looking at either a helix organic or some kind of paddle clutch.

beware of anything too cheap, and i wouldn't buy anything that says techniclutch or you will be changing again, and again, and again, and... you get the idea. (they're rrrrrrrrubbish!)

do a search - this has been discussed many, many, times before!

yeah i saw that post about techniclutch is a valeo any good for that power?

A standard Valeo clutch will cope with 300bhp and about 270 lb-ft of torque - it will even do the occasional dragstrip start as well. Its fairly close to its limit at those levels, but I did about 30,000 miles on my standard clutch with 300bhp - when it came off (because I was significantly increasing the power) it was less than half-worn

My std Fiat clutch has done 195000km's, ca320hp, no slipping yet!
It judders badly now tho, GTA clutch coming on this weekend.

Hi Per,

why did you opt for a GTA clutch. Im researching clutches as my car needs one and I hope to be running about 280 possibly 300bhp. I am opting for a 20vt valeo as surely its designed for as much torque as the GTA one.

so up to 280 bhp seems like a standard clutch will do the job shall i change the slave cylinder aswell

GTA clutch has a larger area friction plate - it's not much of an upgrade - but as it's the same price as a standard one...

For 280-300bhp and the associated torque use a standard clutch. It does the job fine if in good condition.

Just in case, cheapest I've found for a GTA clutch is £138 from Eurocarparts.

I use Alfa GTA clutch. At my last RR I managed to get 432 Nm.
With standard clutch I got 394 Nm.

i just buy an ar racing cluch for t16v metal fritté 5 patins.it seems that this cluch is harly using the gearbox!!!i hurd about an organic helix that can have 60 mkg easy and is smooth??do you have any adress to buy it??thanks!

For your needs a Standard clutch would be just fine. My setup runs near 280hp has done around 80,000Kms on my new standard valeo clutch and it fine. I participate frequently in track and autocross days.
