Hey I'm in the process of m50 turboing my e30 one question off of my list of many is what clutch would people recomend for 500bhp?im using the m20 flywheel.
Its for road use and I want to be able to drive it normally and it not be a b***h in traffic!
Any help from experience would be good and maybe some links to whats good.
Cheers guys.
500bhp, what clutch?

You would probably be better just going for an uprated cover, I have a paddle centre plate in my track car and its a cooont, even though its sprung, pulling away is not fun even though it works great once your off and thats with a standard cover.
Cant remember the number but the Sachs uprated cover is used a lot with S50 etc conversions

Not sure if just a pressure plate would be enough running 500hp.
Craigieeb is running about 500hp in his M50 conversion maybe worth a pm or search for his thread

ive got a 5 puck paddle made by panther, it takes some getting used to but its not so bad once you get the hang of it,
CG clutches in leeds will make you one, and they are reasonably priced.
