Lightened / balanced flywheel... Done!

[Gray]

Got the work done through Prima racing... They lightened the fly wheel and dynamically balanced it with the clutch assembly

They managed to take a touch over 1kg off the whole assembly


Anybody in the Midlands area I would recommend Prima, although they dont seem to be "mentioned" in the Renault scene any more? they where very busy when I popped over.


Just need to fit it all now...

Always been surprised that this isnt done more tbh.

Wicked When are you doing the clutch you *****.

what does this actualy do? just i have not got a clue about tuning

Less rotational mass... less weight for the engine to spin around, in theory less weight for the engine to turn = engine revving up quicker

will make the engine rev up more freely less rotational mass...

pffrrttt... I need some motivation :boring:

Will be interesting to see if you notice any difference.

Couldnt tell with mine as i had other mods done at the same time

I am not counting on it... just one of the things to do when swapping the clutch

i need this done , was going to get mine done when i have rods and crank lightened and balanced !!! do they do all types of machining , what did they charge for the flywheel

I'd be interested if you do notice a difference.

Are there any negatives of having it done? Like a dodge idle

if your going to effort to have those components balanced you SHOULD do the flywheel aswell

Cost me £100 + vat

I was worried about that.... but should be ok *fingers crossed* we shall see

i am getting that done as well , just waiting till i get the other bits that i have listed , already got the flywheel sat in a box

Gains and loses revs more easily, so makes it more free reving, a bit like a decat does, but also means it maintains momentum less well, so for example going up a steep hill in the wrong gear would be more noticeable and have to change down sooner.

Nah no where near like that. Maybe on some cars but its not that drastic

Couldnt think of a better way of explaining the effects lol.

I shall update what its like after fitment
