Slonez Clutched November 21, 2004 Share November 21, 2004 Hi, Good performance workshop should be able to lighten & balance your existing one for you. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear November 22, 2004 Share November 22, 2004 Cost you couple of hundred bucks. Its located behind Mcwell Ventures. I think its 51 Paya Ubi.. Go look for my old friend Albert aka Ah Or. Say Colin recommend, you will get cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzylogic 2nd Gear November 22, 2004 Author Share November 22, 2004 Any side effects of a lightened flywheel dat will be detrimental to the car in the long run? If my car is still under warranty, will the mechanics be able to spot the lightened flywheel when I go for servicing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapience Clutched November 22, 2004 Share November 22, 2004 don't waste time on these silly mods... read somewhere a lightened flywheel will damage your car in the long run... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched November 22, 2004 Share November 22, 2004 Hey Fuzzy, Your mechanic will not be able to spot the lighten flywheel unless you do clutch change. I've lighten a few of my flywheel on a few of the cars I had previously, no problem. Take note that the flywheel should not be over-lighten or you will loose your top end. Better still, if you can afford go for after market ones. Key here is Lighten & Balance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzylogic 2nd Gear November 23, 2004 Author Share November 23, 2004 Slonez, Any reliable workshops to recommend and how much does it cost roughly? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 After market ones like Excedy etc may cost you $500 & above if I can remember correct. But don't know if they are available for your car? Suggest you do your flywheel when you change your clutch so no need to pay for labour twice. Lightening of existing flywheel should cost no more than $150-$200. Stop chionging for a long time liao so cannot comment on workshop. Maybe the bros & sisters of the forum can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal_aspirated Clutched November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 hv read articles on light-weight flywheel, only help in initial acceleration but doesn't increase horsies....... Lup a TC even better ah, got caught the most fined for exhaust mod. but lightweight flywheel is consider engine-mod, more serious.... . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzylogic 2nd Gear November 23, 2004 Author Share November 23, 2004 When you say lightening the existing flywheel, wat do they do to the existing flywheel? Lathe it to become lighter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeost220 Neutral Newbie November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 with lightened flywheel..the revs will build up faster and also loses rev faster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normal_aspirated Clutched November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 I think fuzzy is bent on getting better acceleration the cheaper way at expense of the engine long term performance and reliablity. Maybe after 3 years changed car, liao..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 Yes. Can your stock clutch hold is another question? Usually, we change flywheel/lightened flywheel together with upgraded clutch. No use if your engine spin faster but clutch cannot hold, right? What other mods are you planning to do? Think carefully cos if you're going for extensive job then I suggest you change to a more powerful car. Mods are not cheap & they also affect your car's durability.

Fuzzylogic 2nd Gear November 23, 2004 Author Share November 23, 2004 Actually just weighing the options in modding. Not really going for extensive surgery but actually contemplating doing dis or an exhaust mod. However, read that doing an exhaust mod the authorities might be on your back after dat. Anyway, one of the workshops quoted me 450 for extractor, 2'piping, free flow cat and muffler. Is that roughly the cost of doing an exhaust mod?

Slonez Clutched November 23, 2004 Share November 23, 2004 Exhaust mod not recommended. Heard first time kena caught $500, 2nd time $1000 (maybe now higher). Which workshop recommended 2" pipe for your car? I can guaranteed your car cannot move, don't talk about chiong. Your stock engine will not be able to build enough pressure to utilize the bigger dia pipe. End up losing instead of gaining. You will be surprise that after doing a bit of mods here & there, you add all up & it is enough to down for a Rex. Know a guy who end up spending $20k to do up his Accent. Go figure! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
