Motor Locked up

im going to be running the m20 clutch/flywheel with my s50 and 260, BUT, im using a DXD stage3 clutch...

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

why not? im curious to know why you're against it.I know a guy running a ltw m20 flywheel with a sachs heavy duty cutch on a s50 for 3 years and no problems...

Smaller clutch = less torque capacity, less heat capacity, quicker wear.

It's just not the right way to do it. It's like putting in an S52 in a 318i and leaving the small case diff. Yeah, it works, but you're gonna have to change it eventually, you might as well do it right the first time.

i like the way you think.

Thanks.

My philosophy is pretty simple. Figure out how and why BMW does what they do, and don't UN-do that.

Interesting points, thanks for the replys guys. I just used the stock clutch as a temporary thing because I was planning on getting this done "quickly" and changing it out later. Things happened that threw that out the window so I'll be pulling things apart and just re-doing them the right way.
