looking to start minor tweeking, but ive set the limiting factor with the clutch. dont really want to use anything other than an uprated organic clutch (may go paddle if i have to), but no way on gods green earth will i have a twin plate again!

so, how much tweeking can i do (bhp/torque) before i reach the limit of the clutch? i know r33's can get away with a good organic up to about 450-500 bhp (although it wont take much abuse or last too long), thereafter its twin plate time.
girlfriend has a helix organic in her sti 5 , and its real nice. her car has link ecu, and is pretty quick.

any clutch suggestions for when i decide to up the power?

thanks for any advice, and please excuse my ignorance, i'm fairly new to evo's.

To the best of knowledge, organic clutch is good for about 310 lb ft of torque, so if you are going beyond that then I suggest you go for the option which I have taken with my 400bhp conversion and go for a twin paddle clutch and flywheel, anything below that would not last you long if you keep modding your car!!

cheers tony

silly question, but how much bhp does 310lbs equate to ball park? i dont want to go to 400bhp, want to keep this car fairly standard...ish

at a guess, would around 330-340 bhp be the limit? what i'm trying to do is work out what i can do to the car, but keeping it below the need for a twin plate.

thanks again

The AP Organic should be fine, my VI 346bhp and 338lbs/ft has no problem on this clutch. And thats after a 0-60 shoot out
