Does anyone know what size clutch plates the mpi minis have? Someone told me it would be a good idea to fit one of the turbo clutch plates. What difference would it make? and what are the benefits?

bump bump! come on, some mini genius must know!

[TOMMO0302]

at a guess, 190mm

'Someone' is wrong. Injection Minis have to use injection Mini clutches or they won't run. It's to do with sensors.

dan, im pretty sure thats not right as i have seen mpi minis with different clutch plates. At the end of the day its a plate, i have taking it out n there n special bits to it.

If you mean the driven plate then you could replace it with a turbo one but it would actually be worse than the current one because the turbo uses a 180mm plate and the compound is exactly the same as the larger one you currently use, giving less surface area for clamping and no improvement insurface friction. The bit of the turbo clutch that increases the clamping force is the spring which you can't replace on an injection Mini because the injection system uses the reluctor ring in the flywheel to time itself and the non injection springs put the ring in the wrong place. But hey you're pretty sure I'm wrong so do what you like. Why bother asking the question in the first place if you are just going to ignore answers that aren't the one you want to hear? Try asking again in the injection section, they will know for sure.
