Is this Jim's old engine? Call Ian matey, speak to him about what you want to do with the engine (I know that particular build is capable of 300+bhp) and he will recommend and sell you an appropriate clutch kit It'd be a good idea to be in touch with Ian anyway, as he will help you develop things and resolve any issues, so this is the perfect calling to get you to introduce yourself.

no i brought it off a guy called harvey at scs engines but ian built it! i was thinking about a 4 paddle but are really jumpy to drive with am not goin to be running to much bhp is there something inbetween a 4 paddle and a normall????

I still say call Ian. He builds these engines, and needs to spec all sorts of components for them so they can be used. One such component is the clutch kit, and Ian's used and experimented with all sorts of them, including his own hybrid clutch kits he's found work well. Call them, get the right, experienced advice, and act on it I use the AP 4 paddle on my Zetec Turbo because it takes the power and never lets go. It seems almost wasteful to get a high performance engine such as Ian's 2.1 ZVH, then limit its ability by bolting a feeble clutch to it. Organic clutches take maybe up to 180bhp reliably without slipping, so you might as well have saved a bomb and bought a 1.6 CVH. I know some of Ian's clutch kits deal with higher torque outputs while retaining some driveability, so give him a bell/email and see what he recommends.
