what did you say:boggle:


lol, the dreaded wireless keyboard strikes again! I was saying that you CANNOT gain or lose power/torque or anything thru flywheel weight.

you gain throttle response and reduce in gear acceleration times fractionally, but it can telnd to bog down off the line a little more if you cant drive.

I wouldnt bother going much lighter than an early xe flat fly with a let (6.7kg ish rather than 9.something)

becuase high tuned NA engines rev so high, and the lighter the flywheel, the more freely it will rev. I don't have a counter arguement to suggest why it wouldnt' be suited on a turbo car though...

I don't know why they should be more suited to na cars. I know my Impreza is crap to drive around town because it though!

to do this I would have to buy an xe clutch kit for the pressure plate and a let clutch kit for the clutch as running an F28. Already got two flat type flywheels which I presume are in good condition. This be the best thing to do?

Anyone recommend a place to get a lightened flywheel for a C20let engine? Pot type. Current one has loads of little cracks in it
