I'm planning an M20 2.8, fairly high spec but N/A (Megasquirt/cam/port and polish/valves/flywheel and a full balance job) and will be adding a fair hit of nitrous (75-100bhp).
Would a standard 325i clutch take this kind of power/torque ?
If not what is recommended ?
Cheers,
Iain T
Clutch capability ?

I'm sure Ant is running a black diamond clutch on his Red car.
standard clutches are ok in higher powered 2.7's if they aren't ragged severly all the time

Mines putting out 225 ftlb and its been fine on the standard clutch for over 2 years of daily driving.

that sounds like a good spec for the build iain, nice touch with the nitrous too 
should make that touring a fair weapon.
keep having mad impulses to build a two door touring but itd have to be lachs to go with the sport so watch your keys, lol
