E90 330D manual clutch upgrade

E36Jacob · 03-24-2022, 05:19 PM

Hi folks, anyone know of any clutches that would be able to handle around 400-450 horsepower and 1000nm of torque in a pre lci M57 manual. Thanks

Even if you find one, the gearbox isn't capable.

Do they not have the same gearbox as the 335i? (gs6-53dz) people run crazy numbers on those. Or is it just the diesel torque that it can't handle?

600nm is ZF's figure for GS6-53DZ as I understand it.

Power and torque are totally different - yes people run big power numbers on the 335i but the torque of a heavily modified 335i is much closer to the 600nm that Andy has quoted, rather than the 1000nm that you're looking at.

Yeah, thought so. I guess I'll have to see what my tuner says and how far we can push it. Will probably sell as it's not a very tidy car and buy an f30 or something of the sort. Cheers

Auto box will take more, much more.

Not sure if the n54 335is clutch would work for you.
