FishWick 21 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Probably worth doing if you do a clutch but not worth dropping the box just for that. My local machinists will reface, lighten and balance a VR flywheel for £57. It's a good idea to get the refacing done as a minimum to ensure a judder free replacement clutch.Advantages of weight reduction are increased engine responsiveness and better enginer braking. Disadvantages are the engine slows down much quicker, so pulling away and gearchanges will feel different.K Link to post Share on other sites
zerocool 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 am putting my vr6 syncro box back in soon,and thought of getting a lightened flywheel at the same time,just wondered if anyone has any first hand experience of one in a vr6 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olly_K Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 basically, they let the engine rev more freely....although you can actually loose power uphills. also, idle will be lumpy, so best to get the whole bottom end balanced. Link to post Share on other sites
Hiten 0 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 i've had my flywheel lightened and balanced. 7-9lb was taken off. you can feel the difference as the revs up quicker.i've also got a lightened crankshaft pulley whjich ways nothing compared to my original one.

six appeal 53 Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hiten I have one of these alloy crankshaft pulleys and waiting to fit it, did you notice much difference with just the pulley? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 so where did we all get these from? Link to post Share on other sites
Hiten 0 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 i had the flywheel done by a local engineer shop who also refaced where the clutch sits.the pulleys i bought from the u.s. and are made by unorthodox racing. you get a alternator pulley, larger power steering pulley as the crankshaft one is smaller making it underdriven.all together they made a difference as it revs up much quicker.
