Hey all,

Anyone got preferences on flywheel weight? Whats stock? Whats a good weight for an offroad racecar that needs tq more than hp, but still needs good throttle response?
 
I could see a heaver flywheel working in an offroad application, would help the smooth out the constant no grip, lots of grip, no grip, lots of grip, on a rought road or lack there of a road i should say.

other then that heavy flywheels are good for launching a car, the whole momentem thing, outside of that i think lighter is better.
 
In a lighter car it helps out of corner speed..
Don't know actual weights though....
As most are auto...
 
Gearbox is being separated next week, I'll pull the flywheel (alloy aftermarket custom jobbie) and weigh it. I may need to skim it to get a bit more room for the throwout bearing... but hopefully not!
 
For reference, the CRS flywheel they sell with their manual conversion kits weighs 8-10Kgs.
 
Ill be using a 4kg alloy flywheel with my manual 1UZ conversion.

You mind sharing what flywheel you're talking about. I've been looking for a lighter weight flywheel and if someone already makes one that would save me a lot of trouble.

Off subject.. But every time I see a flywheel it reminds me when I was around 12 giving my Dad a hand to fix a Fordson Dexter's clutch, we separated engine from rear axle.. He was undoing flywheel and I was supposed to holding it... Faaarrrr out they are bloody heavy when they full on your foot !!! From 3 1/2 ft...It was a long time ago too.....The ring gear can do alot of damage !!!!
