For a stock b35? OEM should be more than good enough.

No sense putting anything else than stock clutch in there (if the engine is ~stock), everything else is simply waste of money.

If you want to upgrade, put Sachs Racing in there, not the BS mentioned in the posts above..

^totally. Unless you drag race (3 puck!) :D

Here's a quote from mye28.com

I am running an HD Sachs clutch right now and have read and heard that it is basically an M5 clutch. Mine has tolerated 330ft-lb (8.5 psi) for almost 2 years an has so far coped with another 3 psi of boost ( prob another 40-50 ft- lb) on top of that.

there you go again, belittling other peoples stuff without knowing any of the details.

I think a stock clutch woudl last about 2 weeks in my car with the direct port nitrous on it......

well then your engine isn't really stock now is it... just sayin'

[Lurker27]

The real point is if you swapped an engine into your e30, leaving it stock is silly.

i'm just saying, he called all the other suggestions basically "dumb"

[LowR3V'in]

^What nos kit you running?

I think he's trying to say if it's stock (chip/headers/whatever) there's not need
for an upgrade as far as holding power. ;)

Well, it's 30% power increase anyways so it's not a bad deal. Stock clutch can handle 280-300hp, which is much more than most non-charged M30 swaps will ever make.

Yea, to me "carbon/kevlar" or "five-puck" is more than dumb in stock M30. Just total waste of money, especially when buying that cheap ebay-shit with million words describing how it is lighter, stronger and cheaper than anything else..

i agree. mine is one of the UUC ones (which is probably the same crap as the ebay ones) but I'm starting off with a 115hp direct port shot, then after i get it sorted out, i'm going to bump it up to a 225hp shot.

it's already plumbed in, i just need to get my flywheel here, then it's all going in the car.


just to make you feel better Jonsku, i did pick up a m62b44 this weekend for my next project.
