    Default which clutch?

    What would people recommend for this engine? Wilk start from the bottom up

    X22xe bottom end, xlet girdle, ebay h section rods, pistons not yet decided. Will also have oil squirters and be running a 2l 8v flywheel. Will all be balanced as well.
    Standard zlet head gasket. May use arp head studs. Head will have new zlet valves fitted and I'll port it myself. Running the x22 cams but with adjustable pulleys.
    Will have the standard turbo, decats and some quiet system.
    May go for vxr injectors and will be using th cdti airbox and vec c inlet pipes.

    Now not a huge spec as such but there are very few who go down the 2.2 route so im not sure what to expect. Either way the standard 8v clutch wont be upto the job but what sort of spec would I need?

    Can you get a low comp piston to suit? I'd be sorting that before think about clutches, can always get a plate made up from likes of helix ifneeded, but I'd imagine they would do a paddle for use with the 8v flywheel anyway.
