FLYWHEEL

[thaijedi]

I would like a lightend and balanced flywheel for my Williams. I spotted a Willy 1 for sale on Piston Heads saying that he had a billet steel flywheel from K-Tec Racing from a Clio 172..

Would this work on a Williams..? Dose any1 no if they are the same.

Thanks

what does a balanced and lightened flywheel actually do over standard?

faster engine response, its easier to rev a engine with a lightened fly if you compare with a heavy one..

But also the revs drop off quicker.

Only if you take your foot off the gas!

And you have always the left foot to brake :wink:

the clutch wont fit but this is good as the 172 clutch is bigger and stronger. so get 172 fly and clutch and your laughing.

now lightened fly
less weight = less inertia = better acceleration. as the engine internials take alot of power to spin up. the faster it tries to spin the greater the effect i.e. super light internals will have a massive effect in first, a lesser effect in second and hardly any in 5th. as a rolly road only measures power in a big gear with massive load the improovement is not easy to measure. there is a calculation in a visard book which i will put up if anyone is interested.
put simply less rotrational mass means faster acceleration. but no difference at all to top speed much the same as lightening the car
