Few lightened flywheel questions - FITTED

[Paul86S2]

Origional flywheel in the mk3 16v weighs in around 9-10 kilos. Im not sure on the exact weight. What flywheel you been looking at?

9.65 kg on my scales.
You can go down to approx 6kg with no issues - any more and you really have to know what you are doing.

I have one in now at about 6.5kg...but a very special one waiting to go in - at 5.1kg.

The one I put in mine weighs a tad over 5kgs and runs fine.

Why not change the 3.68 final drive for a 3.94 and then you can at least match your friends VR?  Glen will confirm as I've yet to finish my box... almost there....

Mines a few grams over 6kilo. no problems for me just my mates vr who im slowly catching
Just have to do some mega research into cams now, think ill leave the exhaust cam as there known not to work well with the inlet cam?

Is it a difficult job to get out the flywheel with the engine still in, or is it an engine out job. This sounds like a mod i want to do, but ill never have a reason to take out the engine, unless just for the sake of it and to learn etc. What type of flywheel will i have 020 or 02a? i have an 88 gti 16v, but with a 9a bottem end.?

Its not an engine out job, but it is a gearbox off job. Should be the 020 rod change box.

What's the traffic light issue?

I can kind of guess what Kangarooing is.

[leigh_harty]

apparently it was sposed to be jerky in traffic or at lights.. but i had not 1 running issue only a good outcome

So... does a lightened flywheel reduce torque?

[emery1990]

Ok that's maybe something i can do myself then, reading through hotgolf's thread no one had any drop in torque.
