RicoW Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Yesterday we started breaking my Glanza I bought for parts besides some nice other goodies, I was already wondering what kind of flywheel there was in it because the car revved extremely quick. Now I have seen some light flywheels for sale but around 6/7 kgs and not 3.6kg's like this one. are there only pro's on having this flywheel or is it maybe too light? Quote
jakeep82 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 i think its crap ill give you £5 posted ? send paypal details ;) haha only joking bud i think ive seen some 3.6kg ones for sale before , wouldnt know how much its worth though Quote
RicoW Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 ah oke so not really a big deal... thought the lightest I've seen was 4.9 kg'sbut are they any good? or a bit too light? Quote
jakeep82 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 just looking through a few things they seem to make it rev slightly quicker and give a small power increase to the wheels as of price from what i can see anything from £200 to around £250 bud Quote
mattyD Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 A fidanza fly is the lightest you can get for a glanza and weighs 3.6 kg's compared to the standard 9kg one so is a nice saving but you don't really notice much from it if I'm honest Quote
PaulStarletSR Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 would be good if some1 were to go to the hassle of dyno'n there starlet with a standard flywheel then again with a 3.6kgs effort Quote
lukEp Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) It won't make any difference on paper, it's feel like gain. It's like removing weight from the car by removing rotational weight. So on a dyno you won't see an actual gain but it will rev faster and you will feel like you have gained power. It does effect other things like crushing fuel consumption. You will have to use more of the gogo pedal to cruse increasing fuel consumption, you'll get less gear braking to. Edited March 17, 2013 by lukEp Quote
steve-gers Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Will be slightly slower up hills as the fly won't have the same momentum. Quote
RicoW Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 thnx guys I think I'm going to install it when I replace the clutch Quote
lukEp Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Will be a drop in torque as well.No it doesn't. Quote
Browner Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Are the fidanza flywheels stamped? I broke a car this morning and the flywheel was only 3.6kg but can't see a stamp on it? Quote
mattyD Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I dont think mine was mate, throw up a picture of it Quote
RicoW Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 mine doesn't have a stamp on it too.... Quote
Browner Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 MattyD this is what came out of it... It's 3.6kg on the button Quote
mattyD Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, That doesnt look like a fidanza......... I wouldnt be able to check it against mine until it comes back in a couple of weeks either Quote
Sheehy StarletGT Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like my one Conor, This is a zep anyway and pretty light, I must weigh it! Quote
RicoW Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) dirty pic of mine... Edited March 20, 2013 by RicoW Quote
Chris Green Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 I got mine done by Smiths engineering and they got mine down to 4, I though it was epic, I notice a real difference in the revs. Quote
