M20 2.5l - best clutch for Drifting / abuse?

[mattsmith]

Hi all,

I have done a search but didnt realy find what i was after. I has a 2.5 M20 lump in my e30. The car is used for driftng and the clutch that is in it is starting to slip.

I dont want to spend the earth, but what is a decent clutch that will take the abuse? paddle clutch preffered. the engine is relativly stock. (filter, exhaust, cam, P/P)

Any help appreicated.. any links to clutch's for sale even more apprecaited!

Even a new stock clutch should be fine, they are over spec as standard and should take hundreds of miles of abuse.
If there slipping then an updated pressure plate can hold a turbo m20 just fine so a stock one won't even trouble it.

If they are wearing out due to being used/slipped to much then a paddle clutch won't help, most are not designed to be slipped in use and will wear fast if slipped.

thank you for the info. good to know.

when you say updated.. do you mean upgraded?

618 pressure plate from Sachs and a stock disc will be the BEST option for non torque M20´s.

[HairyScreech]

Yes, that should have been upgraded (sachs 618 as mentioned by Gunni).

How much power/torque can these 618's handle?

From past discussions 350hp has been bandied about, now assuming that's turbo then 350lb/ft possibility.

certainly quite a bit more than stock which is fine for ~250.
