witch flywheel to use

[taylorstattoo]

hi i have looked for info on here but am confussed about what to do with my m52b28 convertion,,

im planing on using my exsisting gearbox/ 318i,,
i understand that the duel mass flywheel and clutch is a lot heavier and people seem to go for a m50 skimmed but is there any reason i cant use mystandard one from the 318,? what would the difference be?

thanks steve..

You need an M20 flywheel (machined to clear) clutch and starter

hay dan,, to the rescue again. lol .. thanks,, i take it the m42 one wont do at all then,, im getting there slowly, but deffo more work than i thought getting the donnor apart, theres no bloody room and the cars been stood so all bolts are being a shit,

ill have the bits ready for you real soon,, any leads on who might have one already skimed,, with starter.. thanks again,,

The M42 is a smaller diameter and heavier anyway, if you get a standard one I can have it lightened for you for a reasonable amount
I was buying reconditioned M20 starters for about £60 from ECP a year or two ago, Lucas brand too so they are quality. Give Matt (meatballs) a shout and he might be able to get you a good price through the zone account
