Light Flywheel V6
« on: 12 March 2012, 21:06:38 »
Hey  :)

Wondering if anyone has replace flywheel on a x30xe, one from a different engine (xe / let / xev) to get one that is lighter than the original V6 flywheel (15kg)
  If so, what have you taken and what clutch did you spend?

I think i'm getting on this one...
Does anybody know the length of the spacer?
I can make it and the dia's are easy, just need the length...
Also, What's the bolt pattern on our x30xe's? Looks like the c20xe has 8 bolt holes....

I would get the parts listed above and tell them to compare them to the old ones....
Or do the job yourself??? Not that hard....

Is it a straight swap then? It was the outer that I was referring to....
I need to do something as my DM is buggered! Clank, clank....

Also, I'm guessing the point of this mod is faster engine response, better engine braking and maybe impoved fuel economy???

Just faster engine response, really. You might find slightly quicker acceleration in the lower gears, but the main reason to do it is to allow the engine revs to fall faster from the red line as you change up the gears, and for quicker response when "blipping" the throttle to match the revs on downshifts.

It won't affect engine braking or economy.
