[Mk2] [Turbo]HELP!! What does a standard flywheel weigh?

[-:[KM]:-]

Help needed urgently peeps..

Recently bought a 'lightweight' flywheel... problem is it doesn't feel very light weight.

So, what do they weigh?

Even better, does anyone have any photo's of a standard one. The best I can find is this ST165 fly that was for sale recently...

Apologies to poster for pinching.

Is that the same as a Rev2 Turbo flywheel..?

All help MOST appreciated.. I don't like getting ripped off...

[Greddy-Matt]

I have a rev 3 stock one at home will get it weighed and a pic up, it IS heavy as heck tho!

Thanks Matt..!

[Race Idiot]

What one did you get? My jun one was about 4.7 and felt about that when holding.

My rev2 stocker...

I don't like the way this is going....

Opinions on this please..




Standard OR Lightweight??

It's looking VERY similar to the above pictures..

It weighs 7.1kg too.. Not exactly lightweight (I think). I need a definate answer to cement this, then I'll probably need to put a claim against the seller.


xxxxxx ebay again...

Does look like a near mirror image of the stock one from the pics

Cheers Steve... doesn't it just..

All I need is someone to confirm a weight and off I'll go...

[Steve-O 2007]

a light weight flywheel is about 4.5 - 5.5KG (Fidanza is 4.5kg I think)

If thats 7.1kg then its like carrying 2 extra bags of sugar around compaired to the usual lightweight flywheel weight

But wait for others to confirm as well, maybe PM some of the specialists with the pics to see what they think it is.

[TUBBY-DEUCE]

Fidanza is 45 percent lighter so with the figures above id say someone has sold you a standard jobbie and tryed his/her luck

my lightened fly is 11lb (5kg) , the standard one was 18lb (8~kg?) IIRC

A topic I started many moons ago about flywheel weights. It would still appear that yours is light weight compared to stock, just not as light as it could be. I would definately wait till someone else has weighed theirs though before jumping to conclusions.

Thanks chaps..

In that link of Ant's it states 18kg... A standard fly is never THAT heavy?!?!

Someone, somewhere must know the exact weight.

the standard fly is 18lb(8kg) dude ( NOT KG) , I weighed it when I bought my lightened fly

Is that from a turbo? I doubt the N/A & Turbo fly wheels are that different but would be good to get all the figures together. This is where we need a breaker or someone who's got engines apart to do a bit of investigation. Would help the masses.

the stock one I weighed was a rev2 NA but i have had a rev3 turbo fly and there is not much difference except the bolt holes for the cover plate, so I doubt there will be anything much between the weight

the lightened fly I have on my NA now is a 3SGTE flywheel with a 2.2 5SFE clutch

[jon_st205]

Stock rev3 turbo is 7.4KG, so accounting for slight differences in scales and in the factory balancing process, I'd say that flywheel is bone stock.

Cheers,

Thanks guys...

Unfortunately, it looks like I've been sold a stocker. I'll see what response I get from the seller..

[cantfindausername]

Good luck with it. Hope you get a good resolution.

[jaffa]

Lightened one i fitted was 4.4Kg a Fidanza one
