    What's a good m20 track clutch?

    I've been successfully using an oem m20 flywheel/clutch on my S50 track car for nearly 4 years. Today I started feeling some slippage. I'm curious if there's a better m20 clutch suited for the track. I'm not looking for anything with silly drag-racing bite. I just want longevity.

    the Sachs Sport clutch and HD PP should work well. it holds significantly more torque than the stock M20 clutch - I've beat the hell out of mine without any issues.

      I've been impressed with the Spec Stage 2 clutch in my car. Heavier pedal than stock for sure, but still reasonable take-up.

        Why don't you do the s50/52 flywheel/clutch/starter with your g260? Someone correct me if something is or isn't needed.

        My f1 clutch is slipping underload with s50 swap. Lasted about 15track days, 10 with m20 and bout 5 with s50.

          Mostly for cost reasons when I initially did the swap. It's worked great for 4 years and probably 40 track days. I don't plan to change the whole setup. I'd rather just find another (beefier) m20 clutch

            Just to be clear, I don't need anything that bites harder, just looking for a disc that will last. The oem disc was actually fairly impressive but if there's a better option, I'd like to find it.

              I like this. Do you have any part numbers/links to this? Thanks!

              Edit: I'm having some trouble finding someone who carries these. I sent Blunt a quote request. Hopefully he can dig em up.

                    Thank you. Honestly can't remember what the place was called, wasn't any of the major places though.

                      Well the Sachs sport and HD pressure plate are over a $700 combo. That's more than I want to spend. Does the e30 m3 setup fit on the m20 flywheel?

                        Doesn't the e30 m3 have the same or less torque than the m20?

                          Good point. Blunt says the Sachs sport disk is the same part # as the e30 m3.

                            I think ie makes a similar part to the sachs hd pp for a lot less money.

                              For what it's worth, you can run the 618 with a stock m20 disc. I think you still need the "revised" throw-out bearing, but I'm honestly not sure the difference. Comparing it side-by-side with my stock one, it looked exactly the same.
