Flywheel weight?
What weight flywheel should I use?
My car’s total weight should easily be under 1100kg (2400lb)
Gearbox is a Toploader (WR)
Differential ratio is 2.92:1 (my choice)
Engine is a Tickford 302W with 220kW / 300bhp and 435Nm / 320 ft lb
My question…. What weight flywheel should I be using?
A friend who knows his stuff is suggesting a standard weight (28lb) flywheel.
My engine man is suggesting a light weight flywheel, reason being that with the car’s light weight, I'll benefit from a lighter flywheel.
He says that with a light flywheel, the engine will rev “like a Japanese engine”.
Bearing in mind my choice of a high diff. ratio, should I go standard weight flywheel, or light weight? 22lb and 14lb are available.
Cheers!
Glen
