What ever you do, don't ask Kieron about 1bar :lol:

Try a search on it first, allegedly there's about 780 results :p

PS incase you haven't guessed yet, you'll need to go to 1bar to get your 280ish bhp :wink:

Yes you're being realistic. Just needs setting up then to run 1 bar of double decker...... sorry I mean BOOST, and jobs a good un.

You'll need to add Plugs to that list too mate...

PM Japerformance... he has some NGK Grade 8's that will do the job for 1bar...

Only £35 too... :shock:

I wouldn't bother with a front mount matey if your only going for 280bhp, The top mount is fine and will save you a few bob to :wink: .

1.0-1.1 bar should see you to 280bhp ok, I would add a new fuel pump to your list just to be on the safe side and budget for a proper set up on a rolling road as well.

With all that done you should have a good solid motor 8) .

If i was you, i'd spend your money on an upgraded fuel pump rather than the clutch. iirc the standard clutch is capable enough at 280bhp, might need to get a support bracket tho. topmount is fine. Get a full de-cat exhaust system, altho depending on age of car, will be an issue come MOT time.

I get 289bhp from 1bar and 301bhp from 1.1bar with the mods listed in my siggie.

Standard clutch won't last 1 week at 1bar boost...

He's managed about 6 months IIRC, and another lad managed 18 months :shock:

I suppose its down to how sympathetically you use the clutch, along with its age. At 1 bar my current clutch would slip straight away, but Warrington Jacks was only fitted a week or so before he turned the boost up - again IIRC.

Safetys sake though, I'd say an uprated clutch is worthwhile though - from what I've read and been told.

Just luck really on clutches. Brand new clutch in mine, weeks old, lasted less than a week at 1 bar. Friend of mine, standard clutch, lasted over 2 years at 1.4 bar....

What sort of clutch is needed for 1bar, and how much is the cost fitted?

cheers for all the imput peeps, much appreciated. So all i really need to add to my list is a set of iradium plugs and an uprated fuel pump.

also the front mount aint really needed.

cheers again and hopefully should get the ball rolling in the not so distant future :wink:

I've read your other post and you say you want to have 400bhp potential.An organic isn't really going to be up to it.There are some on here who've used them but I don't know for how long before they start to slip.The Helix organics are rated around 330lbft I think so won't be strong enough.
That leaves either a paddle clutch(not great for the gearbox) or an imported one.There are a few organic S13 kits around that claim to be able to hold that power.

I think the RPS organic clutches have that power capacity claimed, wether they hold that power in the R is yet to be proven, try SRB power, jeff

Standrd clutch won't last 1 week @ 1 bar..... just a little bit of a sweeping statement. Depends how it's been treated before really, I ran 1 bar for about a year (15000 miles) before the clutch started to slip.... sometimes they slip straight away.

Whatever, if the clutch slips, turn the boost down again..... if it's slipping it won't last at all.

Anyway... is 1 bar safe on standard internals??
