This is purely speculative at the moment and any info is going to be used as a research exercise initially but I want to look into getting an AP Racing clutch built up for the S2 (I work for AP Racing).
I haven't replaced my clutch so I don't have any "hands on" experience with our clutches, hence as much info as possible is needed.
Some of the info will be:
- The gearbox input shaft spline details (size, number of teeth)
- The outside diameter of the friction plates
- The mounting PCD for the clutch and the size of bolts (+ any alignment dowels)
- The axial space available for the clutch (standard and any up-rated clutches people have experience with)
- The master cylinder and slave cylinder bore sizes (+ available stroke)
- Flywheel info (mounting PCD, tooth size, flywheel thickness)
It may well be that an AP Racing clutch would be really expensive (one of the reasons I have not really pursued it in the past) or that it just isn't feasible with the parts available but I want to investigate it.
If anyone has an OE clutch that they would be willing to lend me then that would be ideal.
I don't know at this stage what sort of torque capacities could be expected but we have a substantial range of organic and sintered friction materials at AP Racing which can be tailored for drive-abilty/performance.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Thanks
