Flywheel

[seatibizagti]

hi there. does anybody know where to get a lightened and balanced flywheel from for my 16v cupra. Been looking around but cant find one any where. Was thinkin bout getting a standard flywheel done but dont want to have my car off the road so was also wondering if anyone had one for sale? thanks

most i have heard of have had their original done in various ways but not seen one for sale for a while

bear in mind to do it you'll need the gearbox out

ye im a tec mate and clutch needs replacing so want to do both at the same time. Been looking for one for ages now.

 

[Fl@pper]

got a local machine shop ? anywhere that does head skimming etc with a lather would proabbly do it for ya to ya own spec

my old man does em for the local grass racers all the time does clean up skims for the breakers yard too

as for the weight and spec it's worth a search as i'm sure a few opinions to what's got pro's and con's etc has been mentioned before, i can imagine light is good to rev but crap for engine braking i would say ???

got a place next to my work with a lave but want it balanced as i have heard horrific storys bout unbalanced flywheels. Found a place that will lighten and balance my flywheel but want to get a spare one so i can use my car while i get it done. Just need to find one

saw a mk2 golf one go on ebay a few weeks back for £50, i'd have a good look on ebay mate.

id be thinking is a G60 flywheel the same, mk3 golf 16v, Vr6 of course they may not be but get in touch with a few traders on here or ED38 i reckon they will sort it.

VR6 as a different PCD on the flywheel but the 16v is the same as a G60 so get on Club GTi or E38 and have a look on the for sale section for either of them.

Otherwise go onto Club GTi and search for Hot Golf, he did mine for me and usually sells them on Club GTi already lighten and balanced.... don't know if he's still doing them now tho but have a look.

was it very pricey dave? i was looking at g60 flywheels (as i think my clutch might need replacing soon too)

 

[seatibizagti]

so is my flywheel the same as the g60? been looking on ebay but they are the 8v flywheels which are different aint they?

 

[Dolly_Gti]

a 16v and a G60 have the same flywheel, 8v will be different, cant remember the sizes.

yeah like dolly said, same sizes, but different weights

 

[Dave_R]

i know the bloke so won't say prices. The 8v flywheel is smaller and lighter than the 16v.... think the weight of the 16v is something like 12kgs and its taken down to 6kgs.

 

[Dolly_Gti]

are there any other mods on this motor? i cant see a lightend flywheel doing much on its own, an abf revs pretty well as it is?

it has kent cams ss exhaust with sports cat and has also been superchipped.
