Hi,

Really struggling to find an uprated clutch for my kia. I'm new to this and fiddling with my motor. It's had a decent remap but on original clutch done 67000 and slippery if flooring it due to boost etc ..... Engine is fine turbo ok but clutch is where i need to start.. apparently the Hyundai veloster turbo is the same engine I'm running a 2013 model. Any help would be appreciated thanks
 
Hello and welcome |B

Almost certainly a turbo car should have a stronger clutch to handle the increased power and torque and any competent rebuilder should be able to supply a replacement kit that will have a pressure plate with a higher clamping pressure . Make sure that the spigot and throwout bearings are replaced at the same time as well.

The flywheel may be a dual mass design so that should also be replaced with a new OR with a single mass FW .
 
Thanks it is single mass so should be fine. Thanks. Sachs do one for my car but says only 15% extra power transfer and at 600 -700 that's pricey i think...... 350-400 more than reasonable for a clutch i would say unless i had a 500 bhp monster or something ..... But I don't but it's really hard finding one for this engine/gearbox apparently the veloster is the same but dont want to risk and then its not right etc ....
 
Don't you have any clutch rebuilders near you ?

I would advise to have the FW skimmed id there is anything dodgy in the mating surface.
 
Waynne the admin here and I would like to personally extend a sincere welcome to TorqueCars. I apologize for the delay in responding; I've had a really busy period recently, but I believe I've caught up now. Parts are becoming more available for these. The catalog was nonexistent a few years ago.

Check the part numbers, they will match up if they are straight swaps. Rymec, Borg N Beck and LUK make clutches for these, try the ebay link below to find them.

Thanks for joining and posting up an intro thread.

I'm sure you'll fit right in, and I'm looking forward to "talking cars" with you.
