What does upgrading your flywheel do?

Installing a lightweight flywheel doesn’t decrease torque, but it does decrease inertia, meaning more torque will be needed to break traction with a clutch-kick (drifting or burning out), or to accelerate a vehicle off the line during a launch (drag racing, daily driving).

How many times can a flywheel be resurfaced?

Registered. yeah if u have like gashes and cracks just scrap it and get a new one if its just like slipping or something then u can go 4-6 times….

How many times can you resurface a flywheel?

What does resurfacing a flywheel mean?

During a resurface, the part is fixed to a machine that cuts a very thin layer of metal off the surface. This process exposes fresh metal to the disk, and provides a slight roughening of the surface. This will improve grip over the previously polished surface.

Should I lighten my flywheel?

On a lighter flywheel engine revs will rise and fall more quickly but you will lose momentum on a hill and experience bogging down. If you heel and toe gear change with braking and rev match a lighter flywheel can greatly improve your driving style.

Can you resurface a flywheel twice?

if its for damage, liek scarring or whatnot, Id say only once or twice. the pressure plate is able to work with a bit of tolerance. it depends on the pressure plate jsut how much it can work with.

Do you need to resurface your flywheel?

Every flywheel needs resurfacing at some point in time. Generally, people prefer it when replacing the clutch or pressure plate. The mass of the flywheel absorbs the heat produced due to the general clutch operation. Clutch generates more heat when it starts to slip or abused.

What is the purpose of the flywheel on a car?

Generally, people prefer it when replacing the clutch or pressure plate. The mass of the flywheel absorbs the heat produced due to the general clutch operation. Clutch generates more heat when it starts to slip or abused.

Do you have to index the flywheel when replacing a flywheel?

No indexing of the flywheel’s position on the crank is mandatory when replacing a flywheel on an internally balanced engine. However, the index positioning becomes preeminent in the case of the externally balanced engine. The technique here is to mark the position before removing and reinstalling the flywheel back on the crank.

What happens if you have a crack in your flywheel?

If a flywheel is found to be damaged (cracks that are more than surface deep, or cracks around the crankshaft bolt holes), replacement is required. A cracked flywheel can explode with tremendous force, so under no circumstances should you take a chance on a flywheel that is questionable.
