turbo diesel clutch

[myvolkswagen]

Anyone know how much power a stock sachs 200mm clutch is good for? Im not sure what clutch to buy. Im hoping to have around 100-120 wheel hp from my 1.6. I have seen people are using the clutchnet. Is there a kit that i can buy with the pressure plate and clutch and flywheel as one?

Hello,

the d=200 mm clutch is good for nearly nothing. If you open the gearbox and have the clutch in front of you
take your opportunity to change to the 210mm clutch.

I agree that the 210mm clutch is superior. However, you will need to get a matching 210mm clutch, pressure plate and flywheel.
I ran into this issue. And because of that I have a recently machined (within 20 days) 200mm flywheel for $70 if you're interested in staying with the 200mm set up.

I looked on clutchnet and they dont have anything for the diesels so what model do you put it?

I am running 16v pressure plate, 8v disc, and lightened flywheel - concept1 sells it as a kit

Bildon motor sports sells really nice ones if you don't mind waiting a month to get it...

did you get the 6 puck sprung 020 8v kit? What did you do for your flywheel?

[Smokey Eddy]

I did.
I found a 210mm flywheel at a junk yard and had it resurfaced.
Almost any gas engine flywheel will be 210mm. I believe every 2.0L had a 210mm flywheel. but i may very well be wrong.
Bring a tape measure with you and measure there. it should be easy to tell.

Also. the 210's have 9 bolts and the 200's have 6 bolts that hold onto the pressure plate.

you should see my pressure plate and clutch in this page here

clutchnet 6 puck sprung...all the # should be there for you. Basically anything 210mm with the small spline will work if you have the correct flywheel and pressure plate.

I think that bildon seems like the best deal cuz i dont have a whole bunch of money to spend on a clutch

The timing marks on a 210mm gasser flywheel work with the diesel?

A strong pressure plate requires more pressure against the thrust bearing in the engine.

Pushing the clutch when you start it,
there is no oil pressure and little oil on the thrust bearings to protect them from the added pressure.

Might be better off with a stock pressure plate,
with a few more straps
and a 190mm 4-puck.

Is it really that bad for it? everyone on here seems to run the same type of setup

just start the engine in neutral. then there is no load on the dry thrust bearing.

Right, it's a good habit even without a stronger pressure plate..
