m50 turbo clutch questions

[PutSomeCheeseOnIt]

So I have a 91 e34 nv m50 and I have a 92 e36 getrag tranny that i am currently resealing for boost

what i need to know is what is the best option for a reliable clutch setup?
ill be in the 300-400 range, Id like to stay with a single mass flywheel

Also since i bought the car swapped its always had a problem with the clutch release, so does anyone know which release arm is needed?

I have lots of questions to come and it seems a lot of people on here are starting this same project, so any and all help is appreciated

I will be starting a full build thread with pictures as soon as I make a little more progress. thanks

I will be running a similar power range with my s52. I kept my dual mass flywheel, had it refinished though, and from the amount of research i did the SOuthbend Stage 3 clutch was the best option. installed it and couldnt be happier. Supper grabby.

oh, and i used the clutch slave cylinder that game with the 97 m3 zf. hope this helps.

pm'd with more info.

My plan is to use a e36 m3 clutch and flywheel
This should hold everything and the price isnt bad

yea the m3 clutch is pretty strong
my brother has had the m3 clutch in his turbo m50
for two yeas now only slipped on him once on freeway 3rd gear
he is also running 15 pounds boost

That's impressive! From what I read I figured the m3 clutch couldn't hold after about 300whp. What kind of numbers is he putting down oh and What turbo/fuel system is he running?

Ya thats good to hear, i sorta assumed the same around 300 , i plan on starting at 7 psi

Also, while i was doing the head gasket I went ahead and port and polished the head, Anyone know how much a port and polish will add to the m50t?

not shure what management he he is running
but here is a video of his dyno/build
he also has a uuc stage 2 light flywheel if the matters

I'll be installing a gripfore stage 3 clutch disc and pressure plate (modified sachs unit) with a sachs TOB and AASCO flywheel. I'm hoping it can hold up to 500whp as claimed.
