NA6 Flywheel weight

Postby Si.G » Sat Jan 15, 2011 3:30 pm

Does anyone have an NA6 flywheel lying around that they can weigh?

I have just taken one of an engine and it only weighs 4.3kg - seems very light?

I'd say you've got a lightweight flywheel, from memory they're around 8kg standard. I've got one ay home but I'm no where near for for a couple of weeks.

Checked the weight of my old flywheel and its 8kg.
Replaced it with a Fidanza alloy one.
Seems to be ok.
Motor spins up quicker.
Not on a road car though.

Flywheel diameter is 264mm.
Or 289mm over the ring gear.

Thanks guys, kind of bought a new flywheel for nothing, but I think I will put the new one on the new engine anyway.
