Lightweight Flywheel

[Asi]

i am thinking to get a lightweight flywheel while the engine is being changed. i was wondering what difference would it make

thanks

[Mr Mole]

[Asi]

Also make your wallet much lighter not much really, i had one fitted once, didn't make much difference really :duh:

Well I did ask for one on my conversion, but the answer was, it is not needed as the IS200 is a heavy car and needs a decent weight to the fly wheel for going up hills without revving the nuts off it etc.

right i see. dont think i wil go for it then as fife is a hilly area.

I don't understand, but I'm probably missing something :duh: :iraqi-info-minister:

Why would a lighter flywheel affect going up hills ? If it's lighter then doesn't that mean there is less inertia to overcome to get things going, which if anything would make it easier to do a hill start ? (I presume we're talking about hill starts here, I can't see why it would be worse when already going along, up a hill).

As I say, I'm probably missing something though.

Well I dont know either are you gonna feel any difference, but there is a theory that heavier flywheel stores more energy for compression stroke.

I am going to fit lightweight flywheel because my clutch is on its way out, and I wanna get rid off the dual-mass stock one.

I'd just like a flywheel that doesn't give the juddering problem

I still had the juddering with the light flywheel fitted :o

[Asi]

i dont have much juddering problems when i had the charger and the helix clutch fitted? i dont think its worth the £300 would giv couple of bhp if that.

[Dan_Harris]

it's strange before my clutch died and took the flywheel with it, i never got this juddering problem. Then once all was repaired and a lexus flywheel was put in I get it :(

[Asi]

strange.

Was it a brand new Lexus flywheel or a used one ?

[ormi]

he bought a use one of the bay matey.a lightened flywheel is ment to help the car rev quicker mateys but after having them fitted to a few of my cars i didnt notice a thing!!prob depends on your cars state of tune, the only thing thats good about them is it will do away with lex's dues mass poop.

[Steviewevie]

Yeah I had a feeling it was a used Lexus one that Dan used, thanks Ormi, I just couldn't remember for sure. I wonder if a brand new Lexus one would have been fine. But then of course that would have been *very* expensive (I wouldn't have gone down that route either).

It's funny as I don't seem to have experienced this "flywheel judder"

Doesn't seem to happen anywhere near as much now i have the charger - not sure if its the decreased torque right at the bottom or the increased torque further up.

edit: - think i've missed a joke here

[Asi]

i dont get the judderr much after installing the charger.

You've got a new clutch though, haven't you Asi ? Did you notice any/much difference when you put that in, before you installed the charger ?
