Reinforced Clutch 1Z

As soon as the installation of the large nozzles is complete, the next problem arises: the clutch.

Question: Is there a heavy-duty clutch available for the 1Z engine (for towing or similar purposes)?

If so, where?

If not, where else can I find affordable couplings?

Hello Blechmann!

I completely understand your situation. I had a similar experience after my engine rebuild. As soon as the engine started producing proper torque, the clutch started slipping.
I just got a Sachs Performance clutch (Sachs Race Engineering) that can handle approximately 400 Nm of torque and provides a really strong grip.
This clutch is definitely not a special offer. If you're interested, I can give you the part numbers.

Regards,
Alex.

Thank you for the offer, but a Sachs Racing for around €800 is a bit too cheap for me...

I remember having a heavy-duty clutch for towing in my old car. Is there something similar available for the 1Z?

What I also wanted to know is: Does the 1Z model have a 228mm or 230mm clutch?

I'm currently modifying my VW Bulli...
"I'm planning to increase the power output later anyway, so I might as well install a new clutch at the same time. What's the maximum Nm that the original clutch can handle? The engine I'm installing is a 1Z. Does anyone happen to have a turbocharger or exhaust manifold from an AFN lying around?"

Hello,

I have a Sachs clutch inside.

I think they're called Power Clutch.

They are a bit stronger, suitable for hanging applications and similar uses.

Greetings.
