Flywheel Weight

Recommended Posts

Guest ben19gti

If i was to get my flywheel lightened alone what would i gain would it just rev up faster or would it make it run more lumpy than before because iv took away the weight leaving it wiv not as much momentum ??

Rev quicker. Stall more as there is less inertia, but only noticeable when cold and just setting off.

 

Worthwhile mod, i have one on my 306 :)

Mine only stalls when pulling out of a parking space for example and only when it's cold. The rest of the time it's a ok.

 

I bought mine from Q-E-P, can't remember how much was removed.

it will sound the same regardless of the rotating mass. it would/may be similar to having different gear ratios, i.e. it may accelerate slightly quicker. the car will only stall if you let it stall, alter your driving style slightly and you'll be fine. it's not from experiance (yet) just general knowledge. xu9 one is 7kg standard, 5kg from QEP.

Mine will only not stall if i physically hold the revs when moving out of a parking space in the cold. Otherwise the revs just fall all the way and the engine stalls. Sometimes it manages to pick up again just in time.
