24V with M20 clutch

[AndrewK]

I'm running a Clutchmasters from Bimmerworld on my S52 swap. Shaved M20 flywheel. Some chatter at idle, but that is due to either the light flywheel, a worn transmission, or both. So far, so good (knocking on wood furiously).

my stock M20 Sachs holds up fine.

until last night...one of the pressure plate straps split and it just about came apart. Talked to the guys at Bimmerworld, they recommend clutchmasters so that's what I have on order. New clutch and pressure plate on the way!

You say "for a long time" which makes me assume you've replaced it. What did you replace it with?

a turbo m50 :P

I just went to the local place that does clutches/linings for semi's etc, and said I need this clutch/pp to hold this much tq and be streetable.

Including lightening and resurfacing, clutch/pp/TO/alignment tool, was like $250 out the door.

F1 racing stage 2 clutch. 180 shipped. Get them on eBay from the seller project gtr. Very streetable and some room for upgrades.

yeah something like that, but it spans throughout the lower rpm range. Really hits around 2600-3000rpm. But I plan on tearing the motor down someday anyway and doing a turbo build with a complete overhaul.

I used an m20 clutch but I get definite flywheel vibrations since the flywheel isn't balanced to the engine. It isn't that bad, but still noticeable.

Wow what kind of vibrations? Feel like a normal M20 crap at stop light?

I guess what I'm asking is what a decent streetable upgrade is to the OEM clutch kit. Since I'm in the middle of my swap I might as well put a new clutch in there to replace my still good (but may possibly have 166K miles on it) OEM clutch. It's another, "while I'm in there" replacements.

I've had a "performance" m20 clutch from a local guy (Clutch Specialty) with a Sachs heavy duty pp on my m52 for about 8 months. Works great, revs nice. Grabs real hard, no slip.

You say "used" which makes me assume you've replaced it. What did you replace it with?

[ACHTUNG]

i used an oem m20 clutch for along time even on the s52
