HP Junkies - Clutch Options
Well, my clutch is starting to slip in my new G50. I am using a Sachs aluminum pressure plate and sporting disc. I do not dump the clutch at 5k or anything like that but I thought it would be stronger and last a little longer. The first clutch I had when I had the 915 was a puck clutch and I do not want one of those again for the street.
Any sugestions? |

Hi,
A KEP (Kennedy Engineering) lightweight Aluminium Pressure Plate with a STOCK G50 disc will quite easily handle up to 600lb/ft of torque. That's on my to-do list when I decide to go to the next stage. http://www.kennedyeng.com/porsc_pp.htm

Too big to fail

Centerforce is supposed to be Da Bomb. Pricey though, ~$1800

Thanks Wyd, I should have thought of KEP. Some of my off road buddies swear by them. I'll check them out further.
Juan, have you driven a P-car with a puck disc? If you haven't don't be surprised when you absolutely hate driving it on the street! Wide, have you personally talked with anyone using the CF? I haven't myself but I've heard as much bad things as good things. cheers to all. |

Natchamp, The KEP system was recommended to me by Todd Knighton of Protomotive. That's what they use in their high power 3.2 Carrera turbosystems from 485HP+ and it is suppose to be very street friendly also.
Also, the G50/50 disc (used in the '89 930 5 spd) is the same as the Carrera disc, the difference resides in the pressure plates for the higher clamping force. That's why the KEP Pressure Plate can handle up to 600lb/ft of torque using the stock G50 disc, due to the higher clamping load/force. Hope that helps.
