2 different clutches for 2 different jobs :roll:

like comparing chalk and cheese
So why dont you tell him whats what :roll:
theres a button up the top with the word 'search' the question would answer itself if he bothered to take 5 mins to use it.

He hasn't said what power he runs, or whether he's going to be running more in the forseeable feature, he hasn't said what sort of driving he does all he's done is asked which one is better, they're both for different applications :roll:

if you're that bothered about me not telling him why didn't you tell him yourself :wink: :lol:

organics wont take as much torque as a paddle clutch but paddle clutches are harsh.

i think channy had helix make him up a higher rated organic clutch :?:

Personally i'd say depending on the turbo your best bet would be twin plate, either os giken or superclutch, i believe rob (v-pulsar) got a nice strong clutch from the us, cant remember what it is though but it was cheap 8)

will a organic b ok 4 around 380-400bhp :?:

Personally mate I'd get a paddle clutch with no less than 6 paddles because the likes of the 4 paddle HKS clutches can be very harsh and a right b@stard to drive in traffic :cry: .

My last two clutches have been a Nismo 9 paddle that felt just like an organic to drive, And now a 6 paddle Spec clutch rated at 464lb's of torque, Which feels very good as well 8) ,You just need to use plenty of revs to pull away otherwise it can be a bit grabby :wink: .

To answer your question I wouldn't use an organic for that thought of power myself :wink: .

A organic helix will be fine for 330+bhp/lbft Gtir doin its fair share of 1/4 miles sprints. and 20+k road miles.
I would agree with you Dan :wink: But his question was:

which 6 paddle do u recommend?

i run a AP in my xr2tt, and done 20k, and hundreds of 1/4 miles, and still like new,

and A Helix in my cossie, and 5k miles, inc hundreds of sprints and 4 trackdays and still good. thats with 450-500bhp and same lb/ft.

Not done much to it, as just brought a house, :(

Its running a new Gt30 turbo, a new Ecu, that i've mapped. and played with the handleing.

Gona put it on a set of Dyno Dynamics rollers in the next month or so, and run it up at different Boost to see wots its putting out,
Then get it ready for a this summer & a few thrashes at Brunters/Pod and trackdays

What about the RPS Max Street organic?

It claims 475lbft from an organic clutch :wink: There ain't too many motors pulling that torque on here yet tho to prove or disprove it.

you could be right.


But i would only use a paddle on mine, as organic causes to much heat.

and i dont mind the way paddle's drive, and both my cars are used on the road.
