In other words LTW fly= less torque. Does this make any sense to anyone else? I have driven another Ti with lightweight fly but it was also DASC stage 3 and had some torque to lose prolly. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 07-19-2008, 02:49 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: new york Posts: 14 | if you go to understeer.com i pretty sure they show 318ti with a fidanza flywheel on it. for a e36 m3. im guessing that could work | | | 07-19-2008, 03:30 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: CT Posts: 27 | Quote: Originally Posted by 96cali In speaking to my mech, while the flywheel is heavy it does provide some of the torque.

Does this make any sense to anyone else? | yes this is true, the flywheel provide some of the rotating mass of the engine therefore it is easier to accelerate from a stop. however this extra mass also slows down the speed at which the engine rotates. so though a lighter flywheel may impede daily driveability, it improves acceleration on a performance oriented car. __________________ 97 Boston Green 318ti Active | | | 07-19-2008, 04:19 AM | #5 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | A lightweight flywheel will free up the extra horsepower it takes for your engine to spin the heavier flywheel. The stock flywheel is good because it holds the RPMs for a few moments between shifts and whatnot, but a LTW flywheel will allow the engine to reach those RPMs faster. While a LTW flywheel won't increase horsepower, it will free up lost horsepower. On the 4 banger, I'd say it's a waste because our cars tend to show more power around 4000 RPM. On a 6cyl, LTW flywheels make a huge difference. I just bought an 8.5lb flywheel for my s52 and I'm a little worried about the driveability around town or in stop and go traffic. It's not a deal breaker by any means, I'll just have to learn to deal with it. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 07-19-2008, 04:23 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | 8.5 lbs? wow jess, that little baby is going to be a handful on the street... you'll have to drive it like you stole it It seemed to help the 4bangar a LITTLE bit with my LTW flywheel, but probably just on the ass-dyno. Did feel like a little lose of low-end on the uphills though... but it definitly felt abit quicker. FWIW, Fidanza makes a 13lbs one for M3 clutch, which is what I have... I believe Ireland Engineering makes one thats around 8lbs... UUC makes a couple different ones too.... I think the 13 is a nice balance. Probably not worth it though unless you go for the M3 clutch, imho. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 07-19-2008, 06:00 AM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: CT Posts: 27 | so an m3 clutch and flywheel will work on my m44 with stock gearbox? __________________ 97 Boston Green 318ti Active | | | 07-19-2008, 01:00 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | The one on understeer.com is 11.5 pounds and it's paired with the M3 clutch too. | | | 07-19-2008, 09:01 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: maritimes Posts: 1,433 | Quote: Originally Posted by the tech so an m3 clutch and flywheel will work on my m44 with stock gearbox? | Yeah dude, flywheel bolts right up to the motor. Bellhousing fits right over, and gearbox works fine. Although you may want to consider getting a M3 clutch slave cyl as well if you go this route. My kit was $700 or so on Ebay... kit included a heavyduty M3 clutch and pressure plate, release bearing, and 13lbs fidanza flywheel.... I think they still offer the kit, seller to look for is "Gripforce" __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 07-21-2008, 01:02 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 | Contact Metric Mechanic - they have a light flywheel + M3 clutch package for $780 (or was it 870 - not sure, but disleksia sure sux LOL)... good company - decent price.

Felt awesome but like I said it was stage 3 Dasc, so a little different hp than stock. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 07-21-2008, 08:01 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | Oh yea you drove the Understeer.com car?
