M52 with e30 flywheel help!

[bradydrift]

Hey guys and girls I've bought a lightned e30 325i flywheel for my 328i conversion and I've heated it just blots on with shorter bolts and others say you have to machine the back of the flywheel if so how much has to come off ect? Thanks in advance

[rich318i]

buy the bolts for the fly M20 and take the fly to the ring gear line. The lip on the fly

[jmc330i]

If the M20 flywheel has been lightened properly, I believe it should fit fine. It's the back face that can catch/rub on the engine and it's this face that gets machined to lighten the flywheel.
You don't use shorter flywheel bolts, you need standard M20 flywheel bolts and don't forget the spreader plate that goes between the bolts and flywheel.

Ok thanks guys I've ordered the flywheel of turner Motorsport in America, do you know if that needs skimming and also this is my first engine conversion so I'm an uber novice haha what's the spreader plate look like haha?

[jmc330i]

Ah, thought you had a lightened M20 flywheel. Sorry, I don't know anything about the Turner Motorsport stuff so I don't know what bolts you'll need or if you'll need the spreader plate.

Its probably worth an email to Turner Motorsport...

Ok will do, thanks

[rich318i]

Ok will do, thanks

you bought it from turners fook me. they well give you the bolts the lot

[bradydrift]

Haha god know it's coming tomorrow

[rich318i]

hope you got an extra 100 to hand for import tax cost

[bradydrift]

Yeah haha its sucks, just have to find out if it will need skimming now and I've emailed them about the spacer plate thing

[rich318i]

Not sure if it fits with a m20 fly from tuners on a M52 . the spacer comes with it. my mate bought one and came with it should of just got the normal m52/m54 fly from them thats fitted for the single mass fly wheel.

Sorry to say mate you wasted a few quid

Ok cool and I wanted an e30 one to rum my e30 box and running gear, how was your friends car when he fitted it? Much difference?

if your running the M20 box you be cool.

[bradydrift]

Ok cool, will be nice to get it done

Just use the newer/stronger ZF box from the 328i, saves doing it twice when you get fed up of the rattly old E30 box

[bradydrift]

Ok thanks for the help guys
