obd1 m52 with s52 cams
g260
8.5lb JB racing flywheel
Clutchmasters stage 1 clutch kit

I'm very happy with this set up. I've got a couple thousand miles on it now and I've yet to have any issues other than my car cutting off at low speeds when I push in the clutch. Thats all related to the LTW flywheel though.

i run the stock zf320 dual mass fw/clutch setup. works fine but i hate dual mass fws. ill probably try this next http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/F1-ST...item5d284d9c76 to have a sprung disc and lose some flywheel weight

JBR 11.5# flywheel.
OE E46 330 Clutch
330 6 speed.

Its a little grabby but it has evened out. TONs of feedback and really streetable.

I have given it some serious abuse and never once had it slip.

You have an M54 right?

[jrdeamicis]

Me?

Nope, Was an OBD1-S50

Currently being converted into an OBD2-S50

Nice. That bolts right up?

Nice. That bolts right up?

Yup,

You need a flywheel with the pilot bearing in the flywheel.

Hoveringuy has the M54 BTW

Keep in mind, the e36 M3 clutch setup is not the same as the 328 clutch setup, even though both are 240mm.

I ran a stock M3 clutch in mine. It was bangin. I will probably go with an M3 aluminum flywheel and a Southbend clutch when I go turbo.

PS I have driven a lot of high-performance clutches (clutchnet, kennedy, FX700, etc) and NONE of them can hold a candle to Southbend. It's smoother and easier to drive than anything else at the same torque capacity.

Damn it why did you have to say that. I bought a 240mm m52 sachs OE clutch setup already for my s52. It was lightly used (under 1000 miles) and was cheap. I thought the difference was 228mm or 240mm.

Lesson learned to more homework on parts before buying.


On another note anybody looking for an m52 clutch?

[dinanm3atl]

bfc. Someone needs one :)
