Default Clutch swap Turbo to S?

It's time for a clutch in my 87 S, I see there are 3 different clutch's
available for a 87. 8 valve, S and Turbo. What is the difference
between the 3, if I swap the flywheel can I use a Turbo clutch in this car
(found a good deal on one) or the same goes for a 8 valve found a deal
on one of these as well.

IIRC the flywheel is different on the 16v cars so you would need to keep what you have for everything to work correctly (mainly the speed/ref sensor I think). The disc is the same between the 8v and 16 S/S2, so no flywheel swap should be needed. The pressure plate is different by the looks of it between the 8v and the 16v.


I'm not super familiar with it but those are the things that come to mind.

All the Turbo parts are different, flywheel, bell housing, disc, PP, TOB, Fork, etc. Would need to change everything for the turbo clutch to work on an S.

Right the reference sensors, the 16 valve just use's a single sensor so
no flywheel swap..

The disc can swap between a 8 valve and a 16 valve then good that might
be a help.

The pressure plate is special for the S then, seems at least part of the
problem I'm having relates to the pp. If you look into the inspection hole
you can see the TOB wobbling while running, makes noise as well..

Somebody had put a Turbo clutch on my S2. It worked but when it heated up it would start to shutter.
