I'm from the UK, have done an m52 swap before, this time should be alot better and tidier. The car:
The donor car:
Day 1 of the swap:
The cars a completely standard 316i compact sport manual and the donor cars a 328 se auto. Plans: M50 manifold conversion M3 3.0 spec cams viscous fan delete full stainless system including decat custom intake custom remap to suit mods M3 3.23 LSD Lightened flywheel/M5 clutch Coilovers Toying with the idea of a set of Z3 M wheels the 9j staggered rears, will fit with rolled arches & tyre stretch & negative camber Couple questions i've gotta ask, I'm using my getrag 5 speed manual trans, i know the m43 clutch and flywheel will bolt onto the M52, but i will get clutch slip. Can i put a 328 clutch onto the m43 flywheel? or is the friction surface on the m43 flywheel not big enough? what clutch/flywheel would you reccomend? Not looking at spending a fortune on clutch/flywheel setup, i've heard about the e30 325 flywheel setup.. I do want a lighter flywheel, upto now my idea is to use the m43 flywheel that been lightened and balanced and get the m52 sachs clutch to bolt on. Will the m43 clutch slave cylinder work on a 328 clutch?
