XSNRG Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I weighed four flywheels, I think the three non XT-6 are all off turbo cars but I'm not sure. I would be interested to know for sure if N/A and turbo flywheels are the same weight. 24 4.2 EA82 24 3.6 EA82 23 12.6 EA82 (machined) 21 13.8 ER27 Not as much difference as I was hoping for. Roughly 2.4 lbs...I may need to machine one for weight reduction. I'm going to use this on a Rally Cross/Club Rally car. Anybody with experience with lightend flywheels, please give me your opinion on ideal weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Maybe ask Sean at http://www.rallitek.com He lightened a flywheel for my friends 98 RS (not sure how much, thats why I say to ask Sean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I have an EA82 flywheel that was lightened to 17lbs. The weight was removed from the engine side of the flywheel. I can shoot you a pic or you can come check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I'm curious about why you want a lightened flywheel. If it is a road car I can see why, because the lightened flywheel allows you to rev the engine quicker. But if you are off roading the car, then you would want a heavier flywheel to keep the rotating engery higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
