Lightened flywheel

[Wellbs]

Morning all,

Have a reconditioned gearbox in the garage ready to go in but was holding back because i’d like to know what everyone’s experiences are with lightened flywheels? To me it makes sense to do it while everything’s out.

Where’s the best place to pick one up? Not overly interested in having the original lightened & balenced.

Thanks in advance

Jack

Pure motor sport / k-tec do them but not sure if they supply the same flywheel!

Would be a well worth mod I’d say!

£260 delivered from me for one. A proper 2.9kg ttv one too.

I had one from northloopcup in my clio hillclimber and he also supplied the one in my micra hillclimber and cheaper than anyone else could supply one at.
great upgrade while it's all apart

Whats the pro's of having a lightened & balanced flywheel in a Clio ?
Whats the weight of the OE one from a 1*2 ?

I know they rev quicker as I had one in my old vectra b super touring but the that made a massive difference going from 9.8kg down to 5.2kg

Here’s a good link I found earlier - https://mechanics.stackexchange.com...eight-flywheel-and-why-arent-they-lightweight

standard is 5.2kg, ttv ones are 2.9 I believe. One of the best changes I made to my car, makes it much much revier, especially when teamed with EPAS.
