Hey just asking around anyone know a good clutch flywheel set up for a MCS need a new clutch the OEM wont handle the pressure.

Ant FR · Jan 21st, 2008, 08:18 AM

Thought the Exceedy one was meant to be good with the lightened flywheel.

Or some go for the Fidanza lightened flywheel along with an uprated Helix clutch.

Speak to some of the tuners, thats one thing i have on my shopping list as i doubt my standard clutch will last too long with the new power end of the week

As I am new to Mini ownership I would be interested in what it takes to get such an impressive power figure, could you provide a link? Please!

yeh i will be heading down to Menai hope to see you there champ,

alta ver 2 CIA, -15% pulley, +2% crank, ver 2 IC, 440cc Injectors, oil catch can, full milltek exhaust, quaife diff, blue fin map, colder plugs = so much fun ahahaha i luv when i pull up next to v8's and rexies ahahaha.

Cops love me too

260 from that? Probably got the reading from one of those Dynopack contraptions and the loss multiplier is 1.3...

On a serious note, when you were swapping in the Quaife, wouldn't it be cheaper then than now? The Exedy reportedly is the most street friendly without the usual chatter as you will come expected from the Fidanza flywheel/Spec clutch, the next one up would be the M7 segmented flywheel (it's called various other things, I can't remember what it is) and then your usual suspects. Apparently one of the UUC (non-Fidanza) flywheel doesn't make a whole heap of noise either.

Peak here in Sydney recommends the stock pressure plate (brand new of course) but with some sort of JCW Garage clutch plate and lightly machined the stock dual mass flywheel. Not sure how that works but that's what I was fed with.

yes, 259 from those mods alone seems quite high.

Actually, yeah now i look at it, 260 from that indeed.

i very much doubt that

Mini360 · Jan 22nd, 2008, 08:41 AM

sorry i meant to say 249.5HP not 259 sorry for that folks
plus i got a 64mm enlarged throtle boddy

scolburn79 · Jan 22nd, 2008, 09:00 AM

I think that you are still dreaming. Please post your Dyno to prove it. Their is no way you can get to that without a Cylinder Head change and Cam etc. My car has alot more done to it than yours and I am at 197 Whp. Which is about 225Hp at the Flywheel.

n00b · Jan 22nd, 2008, 10:21 AM

Wow, that larger TB must be made outta unobtainium or something to give that sort of massive power

Mini360 · Jan 22nd, 2008, 09:16 PM
