Title: 02a box
Post by: harney123 on 01 October 2009, 08:26

hey guys,

i need a new clutch and flywheel for my 20v turbo conversion, i have an 02a box which i got off DH (cheers again :) ) all i need to know and this maybe the wrong crowd to ask i dont know lol but does a Corrado G60 form 1990-1991 use the 02a box? if so i may have found one cheap enough :)

cheers

cool well the clutch and flwheel kit from jabbasport is £503 and i can get it from a company on ebay for £240.96 but its from the USA so i'm not sure if its the best idea? what do you guys think? because its a rather large saving!!!

cheers

Use a golf mk2 or corrado G60 flywheel. Same on the Passat GT 16v as well and use this clutch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-GOLF-PASSAT-VR6-FAST-ROAD-CLUTCH_W0QQitemZ260483275731QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ca6035bd3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-CORRADO-GOLF-PASSAT-VR6-FAST-ROAD-CLUTCH_W0QQitemZ260483275731QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ca6035bd3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) Used this clutch on mine and was ok for 230bhp  :wink:

this is the one i'm looking at :)

Thing is the G60 is 160bhp where the VR6 is 180+ depending on model so if you uprate the clutch (stage 1) by a percentage normaly 20% say the G60 clutch is now 192 and the VR6 is 216 so the VR6 clutch can take greater power. I used the techniclutch VR6 item and worked fine on a Passat GT 16v flywheel (same as G60)

this is very true but i rang jabbasport yesterday and they said that the clutch and flywheel kit i was looking at could handle anything up to 300bhp so it should be fine :)

surely you can do it cheaper than that? id go for a 2nd hand flywheel and a brand new vr6 clutch kit

where'd you get your second hand one from? i'm not sure if there a good idea with the power i want to run i'd hate for it to break lol

My flywheel was a second hand item.

The engine you have is only an agu with a k03 210bhp max. First off you might as well get a second hand flywheel and vr6 uprated clutch and get the engine running then upgrade at a later date than spending more than you need to.

flywheels dont really ever fail unless lightend by numpties.

any 228mm o2a flywheel will do

well according to jabba this kit will handle alot more than 210 :) and with my bigger injectors, k04 and emerald management etc it should be sweet!

That american deal looks bloody cheap for what you get, especially if its the same as the kit mentioned here : http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/product_info.php?info=Sachs_K7003802.ELWG60_VR6_Clutch_with_Eurospec_G60_Flywheel_Kit_14_lbs&products_id=401 as that says its a lightened fly. If its rated to 300lb ft as it says it should be well up to the job assuming your not trying to build a firebreathing monster of an engine.

I take it you have looked at fitting an LSD to this gearbox? Your not going to get much traction otherwise lol.
