215mm clutch

[tutuur]

Does anyone know how to fit the volvo 480turbo late 215mm clutch?

I've read multiple times that it's possible to fit the 215mm clutch disc and Cover to a 16v/willy flywheel.

You need to get the flywheel machined and drilled to accept the 215mm clutch cover holes a few peeps have done this with the GTT flywheel and used an organic clio 172 clutch

I have a Clio 172 fly wheel and 215mm helix clutch for sale if it is any use with you project.

I'll be using standard management so thats a no go...
Had been looking trough your stuff, very interesting bits but not for me unfortunatley

Hmm think i'm just going for 200mm helix/volvo combination then.
My max goal is 250bhp and somewhere around 250lb/ft

What where your figures again James?

Should add he is still using my Helix paddle friction plate and valeo green box cover from the volvo, I know he is going to change the clutch cover to make it full paddle and also a bigger turbo as it's only running the 200sz T28

I hope the gearbox is going to hold!
Is he on rtoc too?

I think i'm going to subscribe soon

Tuned by Scoff, i've seen it, is a bit of a motivation for me to keep going :P

Is the 215mm cover any stronger or the same as the 200mm?
As i've read on Volvo boards that both clutches will withstand the same max power...

[diditno]

I've used the 215 as well as a 200mm clutch and the 215 has a lot more clamping force with the pressure plate. It's a heavy and aggressive clutch to use day to day, but does the job well. Mine ran 260flb with out any issues.

[tutuur]

Yes but you use a 172 flywheel right?
I really get into this cause don't like to remove engine again once it's installed.
The help is very much appreciated!

[diditno]

As said before you can always drill and re tap the standard flywheel to make one fit.

[tutuur]

Thanks for the comments! Why are you breaking yours?

[diditno]

Just had enough of throwing money at it tbh.

[tutuur]

lol, sounds familiar!
