Maximum BHP for pd100

Can anyone clear up what the PD100 clutch can take then to save any arguments?

I suppose if Sportrider hasn't yet experienced, and is happy with the risk of getting clutch problems with his 160bhp then that's up to him...


Going along with this i think that upping the power is always going to put extra stress on the clutch and other parts, and i think is more then likely going to shorten the life of a clutch. But i think that it depends how the car is driven to how much stress the clutch is going to take.

Seems abit obvious i know, but thought it is worth saying :D If your going to take your car to Santa Pod everyday, and drive it really hard etc then the clutch probably wont last as long if you've had a remap.

But if you drive sensible most of the time then the clutch is more then likely going to hold up just fine.
