The SACHS Racing 883089000181 heavy-duty clutch kit is designed for various Peugeot, Citroën, and DS models equipped with the 1.6 THP engine, including the Peugeot 208 GTI, 308 GT and GTI, RCZ, and 508, as well as the Citroën and DS DS3, DS4, and DS5, depending on the engine configuration.
Designed to transmit up to 530 Nm of torque, this 228 mm assembly combines a reinforced mechanism, a damped sintered metal disc, and a lightweight steel single-mass flywheel. This SACHS Racing configuration is particularly well-suited for heavily modified vehicles and motorsports applications requiring a higher torque capacity than that of an organic clutch.
Applications for the SACHS Racing Clutch Kit 883089000181
This part number is available for various models equipped with the 1.6 THP petrol engine, including:
- Peugeot 208 GTI
- Peugeot 208 1.6 THP 165
- Peugeot 308 GT 1.6 THP, notably the GT 205
- Peugeot 308 GTI 1.6 THP
- Peugeot RCZ 1.6 THP, including the RCZ THP 270
- Peugeot 508 1.6 THP
- Citroën DS3 1.6 THP (depending on model)
- Citroën DS3 Racing
- Citroën DS4 1.6 THP (depending on version)
- DS 4 and DS 4 Crossback 1.6 THP (depending on version)
- DS 5 1.6 THP (depending on model)
Note: The presence of a 1.6 THP engine alone does not guarantee compatibility. The vehicle, its engine, and its transmission must be checked before ordering.
SACHS Racing Sintered Metal Clutch 530 Nm
The main difference in this SACHS Racing version lies in its sintered-metal-faced clutch disc. This technology is designed to withstand significant thermal and mechanical stresses and allows the assembly to transmit up to 530 Nm of torque.
The disc retains a damped hub with torsion springs. This feature helps control torsional vibrations generated by the engine and transmission, despite the clutch’s significantly sportier nature.
Compared to an organic lining, the sintered metal lining offers a high coefficient of friction and excellent resistance to high temperatures. However, its operation is more direct, with a less progressive engagement. This characteristic makes the kit primarily suitable for heavily modified vehicles and racing.
Conversion from a dual-mass flywheel to a single-mass flywheel
The kit includes a lightweight steel single-mass flywheel designed to replace the original dual-mass flywheel. The reduction in rotating mass promotes faster revving and a more direct engine response to throttle inputs.
SACHS claims, depending on the application, a weight reduction of up to 60% compared to the stock flywheel. This figure represents a maximum claim and does not necessarily correspond to the actual weight difference achieved on every compatible vehicle.
Important to note before mounting: Replacing the dual-mass flywheel with a single-mass flywheel reduces vibration damping in the transmission line. Consequently, increased transmission noise and vibration may be noticeable after mounting.
With its 530 Nm capacity, sintered metal clutch plate, and single-mass flywheel, this SACHS Racing version is primarily intended for heavily modified Peugeot, Citroën, and DS 1.6 THP models designed for sports driving or competition.
