new 16lb flywheel from a member here. shit looks fresh

now all i need is a clutch that can take my boostagee. clutch ideas?

[e30guydownunder]

pretty sure the problem is you used a ghey dualmass flywheel and standard clutch.

almost positive that the 240mm clutch that suits that S50 flywheel won't fit in a G240 bellhousing. The PO of one of my M42's suitable took to the bellhousing with an angle grinder :/

That would have been acceptable if they'd gone the next step and welded reinforcing material around the outside, but they didn't....

[Dj Buttchug]

weird. this one fits perfectly. its exactly the same size as my dual mass... now that i think of it this is an m20 flywheel that the po was going to use on his s50 so yea i am retardation.

Holy backwards friction disk batman!

[e30guydownunder]

haha was the disc backwards? i was going to mention the marks but anyhow. The clutch disc in my roady was also installed backwards by the PO. I removed the "worn" clutch to find about 50% of the material at that hub had been worn away. Would have made a little mess!

The flywheel goes in fine but when you are running a 240mm clutch setup the pressure plate contacts the bellhousing. I was going to use a G260 on my M42 to use the 240mm clutch setup I had.

There are plenty of HD 225mm clutches anyway so it should just be a case of pick your budget and clutch to match that. There are a heap of people using eBay things with success but they also seem to be a bit hit and miss in the success stakes. I would just go to your local preferred clutch shop (reputable) and pay for what ever they recommend.

The power we are talking isn't hard to manage, just a matter of decided how driveable you want it.

Looks fun but kinda a PITA going through the drive through. I like the more clutch but more 10k Limiter!

I dont know... my ksports go really low so i never had to cut the strut. Im almost maxed out in the front tho so i will prolly cut em eventually

[bloodshot-e30]

i dont see oil under your car :(

[Dj Buttchug]

actually there is Ps fluid. my rack is shot. engine is tight tho :)

[Good & Tight]

Check this site out they make good clutches for reasonable prices. http://www.clutchnet.com/

I used the 3 puck solid hub disc with a Centerforce pressure plate on my M10, held 360rwhp/333rwtq.

For your mickey mouse turbo I would suggest a 4 puck, it's less aggressive and will work with your pressure plate.

[Dj Buttchug]

this will be in my hands in the near future.
