Turner Motorsport Lightweight N54 Flywheel & Upgraded Clutch Kit

Unlock the full potential of your N54-powered BMW with our performance-driven clutch and flywheel kit. Designed to enhance daily drivability while delivering increased power handling and improved throttle response, this kit is the ultimate upgrade for enthusiasts seeking more from their vehicle.

Why Choose This Kit?
This setup features the Turner Lightweight N54 Flywheel, precision-engineered for quicker acceleration, faster rev-matching, and a more responsive driving experience. Paired with an upgraded OE clutch from the high-performance 335is and F10 550i(V8 Bi-Turbo), this combo is capable of handling over 500 ft-lbs of torque while maintaining smooth, factory-like engagement and durability.

The factory dual-mass flywheel may prioritize smoothness and efficiency, but it comes at the cost of responsiveness and is prone to failure in high-performance applications. The Turner Lightweight Flywheel solves these issues with a single-mass design that strikes the perfect balance between comfort, performance, and reliability making it ideal for both daily driving and spirited track use.

Upgrade for 135i/335i/535i models from the 335is! Featuring a heavy-duty clutch with more holding power and a stock-like pedal feel. Excellent solution for If your clutch is slipping, or the engagement isn't what it used to be, it's time for a replacement. Slipping clutches won't allow your BMW to accelerate properly and can pose problems under a load such as going up large inclines. Also, a worn clutch can cause less precise and engaging shifts. By replacing your clutch you will restore performance and driving pleasure.

This clutch is an excellent upgrade for non 335is/550i/650i models. It features a more heavy-duty clutch disc and more holding power with stock-like pedal effort.

Transform your driving experience with this Turner Motorsport clutch and flywheel kit - engineered for power, performance, and everyday reliability.

A lightweight aluminum flywheel is a great way to increase throttle response and free up horsepower by reducing drivetrain loss. Factory flywheels are built to minimize engine and transmission vibrations, making them heavier and requiring more energy to make them spin. An aluminum flywheel can save lots of weight over the stock steel unit - sometimes over 50%. While the dampening effect of the stock flywheel is reduced, most enthusiasts would agree that the increase in performance is well worth it. In addition, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, improving throttle response.

This JB Racing lightweight aluminum flywheel kit and is designed to be used with the included factory clutch, making replacement and service easy and inexpensive, especially compared to specialized racing clutches. It also preserves the driveability of your car on the street, and enthusiasts tolerant of a mild to moderate NVH increase will be especially taken with this setup. In addition, the JB Racing flywheel can be easily rebuilt with a new clutch contact surface, allowing you to enjoy faster revs and superior response for many years to come.

Stock Flywheel Weight: 24-31 lbs.

Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.

ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.

This clutch kit features an Xtreme pressure plate, a Performance Street sprung clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

Their Xtreme pressure plate offers a 50-120% clamp load increase, moderate to heavy pedal feel, and is recommended for high performance street and racing applications. All diaphragms went through a four stage heating process for increased strength and unparalleled performance.

Next in this kit is the Performance Street clutch disc. This is the most popular sprung clutch disc and features high quality organic friction material with a high copper content for improved heat transfer and a steel backed lining for increased strength in burst load circumstances. This organic clutch disc has a significantly higher torque capacity than a stock disc but still retains a long life span and operates quietly and reliably.

Clutch Kit Specs:

• Torque Rating: 520 ft/lbs
• 68% torque capacity increase over stock!
• Type of Disc: Street
• 26-count spline
• Spline Size: 1-3/8" inch
• Disc Weight: 3.5 lbs
• Pressure Plate Weight: 10.7 lbs

This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate, a Performance Street sprung clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate  pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.

Next in this kit is the R6 racing clutch disc. This disc is an unsprung, rigid disc with 6 pads that is best suited for drag and road racing and handles heat better thanks to its increased surface contact area versus the 4 pad version of this disc, the R4. The R6 pads are composed of ceramic friction materials and the disc has a chome-moly hub that is heat treated for additional strength under high load engagements. Over stock, this disc is much better for faster shifting and significantly higher torque loads. Unlike the stock disc, this racing disk has a slightly shortened life span due to its rigid design and pad composition. This in turn is offset thanks to its fast, aggressive engagement for track use.

The final main component is the XACT Streetlite Flywheel. This option is the most popular thanks to it versatility for street driving and drag/track style racing, its lighter weight for increased throttle response, and its single mass design.

Clutch Kit Specs:

• Torque Rating: 505 ft/lbs
• 83% torque capacity increase over stock!
• Type of Disc: Racing
