    M50 swap Drive line

    Im looking for peoples input on driveline parts.
    Im using a Getrag 260 in an M50 swap.
    Which flywheel do you use?
    Which Clutch kit do you use?
    Which of both would you want most if you had the money for it?


    Thank you for your help

          I have a JB Racing 8.5 lb flywheel. Still need to decide on a clutch.

          edit: I think the stock clutch/pp is rated for like 240 or so.

            Just to keep it as simple as possible I used the e36 325i trans with all e36 stuff. (starter, M3 Sachs Performance clutch, M3 Fidanza lightweight flywheel)

                The stock e30 clutch will slip at 320ftlbs. I had a quote about this in GRM a few months ago.

                High torque cars will eat e30 clutches. Get a stock e36 M3 clutch and use that instead if you're planning anything big.

                  Or the UUC Stage 2 + M5 clutch (what I'm using, I actually have a reinforced pressure plate + kevlar clutch)
