Any longer term Stage 2 HDi clutch reports/verdicts?

[powerandtorque]

I heard a few tried the pull clutch from the XUD on an XU10 flywheel, don't know if that clutch could cope better or not but most of the Supercharged 6's are running similar torque to a mild tune HDI.

Heard rumours of people running XUD clutches, but again, not clear whether they're coping at the best part of 300lbft and going that route you've the added hassle of swapping to a pull type clutch - not the end of the world though of course.

The low-boost SC setups only running similar torque to a Stage 1 HDi, somewhere around 200-220lbft, fed in quite progressively too if the ones I've driven are anything to go by. If so, hardly surprising that they're alright on a healthy standard clutch - a new / low mileage standard clutch will be absolutely fine long term on a Stage 1 HDi too.

Stage 2 HDi is going to be more akin to what the high-boost SC cars are managing - around 270-280lbft - and probably a fair bit more abrupt in terms of delivery too which doesn't help the clutch one iota.

Any idea what the high-boost SC's are running clutch wise? I couldn't see any mention of anything on the Lynx price list, suggesting possibly standard.

Others will probably disagree, but so far our stock 'new' valeo has lasted 30k/2+ years already with no signs of slip, full torque stage 2.. but if you're changing it anyway then a CG paddle is probably the best/cheapest option

Thanks, that's the exact sort of thing that I'm looking to hear - I've got x clutch, running a Stage 2 map, and it's lasted this long so far

I had been considering the "good" standard clutch route but had some doubts of how long they would last at full Stage 2 torque, so your reply makes interesting reading.
