Lighter flywheel – more agile engine
The installation of a lighter flywheel is an effective and inexpensive tuning measure. Due to the lower flywheel mass, the engine needs less energy to accelerate and thus reaches a higher rpm faster. As a result, gear changes are quicker because the engine speed can increase more rapidly. Since the mass of the engine is reduced by a lighter flywheel, fuel consumption can decrease - because the engine has to provide less drag power. Be sure to fine balance the flywheel. However, you should not lighten the flywheel too much so that idling remains stable.
Flywheels for various engine models
In our product range, we have flywheels for various VW and Audi models - for example for 1.8T engines. No matter which flywheel you choose: We recommend ARP flywheel bolts for optimum stability.
