    Need Clutch Options

    I'll keep this short so we can get right to a solution.

    M106 with a Getrag 265.
    Planned output is 500-600whp, similar torque.

    This is my first deep dive into older BMW's and I'm having a hard time finding any info on a clutch that will fit this combination and hold so much power. The goal here is to find a clutch kit, or a known quality combination of components to hold the power, and be reasonable to drive. If it matters, I want it to be single disk.

    Thanks in advance for any input towards solving this speed bump!

    Bmw m5 style clutch will be the better Oem style, otherwise you could look at clutch master like the fx200 or 250

      I am using S38 B36 clutch, but I'm not quite 300hp even.

        Shoot an email over to clutch masters or UUC and see if they have anything that fits.

          500-600rwhp will be best with a twin disc unless something custom

          The Uuc twin has been proven to work. (I don’t like uuc products overall but clients have had good experiences with the twin disc for 500-600-700 rwhp range streeted cars)
          OBD1 M54/M52TU swap as a M50b25

          Z4 non powered steering rack fits e30

            so, find any clutch options?

            i have the fx300 and 500tq melts it completely off.
            a 3 puck iron will hold, but is not an option.

            even a twin disc options where are those? a sticky needs to be made. ;0

              so i tried a fx400 6 puck ceramic and it's slipping.
              weird how it slips because you can hear the clutch start to chatter sorta skips like the PP isn't strong enough.

              did you find anything good out there op?
