3B Clutch, How much Torque?

[alistairolsen]

Hi folks.

Just a quick post, i'm hoping to use a 3B clutch on a 1.8T motor, and i'd like a bit of an idea as to how much torque a stock 3B clutch will take?

Cheers

3B Sachs 707 takes 600+Nm

Is that the standard 3B clutch though? Or some aftermarket/race item?

Aiming to use the standard one if i can!

3B clutch take 600nm? Not long term it won't it will slip sooner than later IMO

Stock item is rated for ~310Nm on the 3B but there are lots of people running 400-450Nm without problems on them. I'd say that they would struggle with much more torque than that being delivered on a harsh/frequent basis for things like sprints or track events.

What sort of torque and application are you looking for on the 1.8T setup ?

A Sachs 707 is a race clutch, but it's very user friendly on the street too, I have one in mine and it's not a lot heavier than std. Expensive though.

I know this a old post but my friend has a zf Sachs race engineering pressure plate I think? Part number 883082.999724 doesn’t say how much it can hold but are these stronger than a 707 Sachs pressure plates? He’s also got the paddle clutch which is uprated to 520nm anyone used this setup? Or recommend a setup for 450ftlbs and close to 500bhp please sorry it’s for s2 aby 6spd

Same pressure plate from memory. They hold well over 600NM with the sintered paddle friction plate. Mine never slipped with 630Nm and some have run them closer to 700NM. The sintered friction plate is very aggressive and will eat into the flywheel pretty quickly.

Ok that’s good news at least I can tell him or he will see the post first.
