S52 + g240 = ??

[e30s50dan]

Ok, I know,I know....but I have a lead on a good S52 for little money,and was wondering how a G240 might hold up to the S52 power/torque. I searched and couldnt find anyone with this combo,all though there is one guy with a D mod racer putting out 300hp and is running a g240,and said so far so good.

I want to remove the m50nv and install the S52 obd1 and be done with it.

thoughts,bitches,complaints??

we ran a 240 on the s52 drift car and hundreds of clutch kicks later it was still great...

[e30s50dan]

What clutch/flywheel combo were you using

[619E30]

it should hold up fine with a good clutch and lightened flywheel

[Dominic49]

we used the m20 flywheel and stock m20 clutch with a euro 323i TOB

[e30s50dan]

I have a lightened m20 flwheel and sach sport clutch now

itll trash it after a while, dont expect to be snapping gears like your a drag racer everywhere, a local guy trashed a g240 with a nvm50 in a couple of hours, so dont be a idiot and youll be fine

[e30s50dan]

^ yea iam not a drag racer, although will want to track it I must admit the tranny is holding up nicely

well he'll now I'm exited about the s52 I have everthing fo the obd1 swap and clutch and a nice low mileage 3.73 LSD that was in my automatic e30. Should make for an interesting combination

Matt (mr 325) is using one with his s52 IIRC

Why was the euro 323i throw out used?

also keen to know

It has a different length from a 260 throw-out bearing that works with the 240 box. I had them side by side and iirc the 323i T/O is slightly longer.. even though I would think it would be shorter to work with the smaller/shorter 240 box..

I'd like to know if this box would hold up as well. I like that you can run the 240 and have a Getrag (much better feel than the ZF, in my opinion) and the trans isn't rotated. I'd like to try that with my next M/S50/2 conversion. I always liked that box in my 318is.

I've beat the absolute shit out of mine and nothing yet. It will be fine for track, it's just the drivetrain shock of launches that will kill you if anything.

I have one on my supercharged S52 and its held up fine so far.

oh that will be the same as my one then. mine is a euro 320i one. The M20B20 came with a g240 bolted to it from the factory so must be the same thing
