Light flywheel modification

Flywheel is not even a pie-shaped object in the engine crankshaft, its role is as an interface, the kinetic energy of the engine to drive the car reached the clutch. As the engine when accelerating first thing is to promote the flywheel, while closing the throttle when the engine speed is also the rate of decline (Miata MX 5 Coilovers) is subject to the rotational inertia of the flywheel, so the weight of the flywheel on the engine acceleration and deceleration are have a certain impact. Original flywheel mostly with steel casting, in addition to low-cost, easy to produce, but it was a lot of money in the weight (and consequent rotational inertia) also gave the car at idle, put / deceleration and steady sense start , so that drivers and passengers in general easier to accept.
Flywheel modification is relatively simple to convert a lighter flywheel is this part of the conversion of the most common way, because there is less light flywheel mass and rotational inertia, the engine can mention / deceleration more responsive car acceleration considerable help. Although this "help" does not and other power conversion (such as replacement of the camshaft and even the exhaust pipe) compared but you can obviously put a light flywheel feel the throttle becomes sensitive to light and bring more fun to drive. When selecting a light flywheel to meet actual needs, if it is not ready to run, then do not choose too light models. Too light flywheel will cause the car to idle instability, starting difficulties (especially uphill) and reduced engine braking (engine braking) the effect of increasing the load on the brake system.
In addition to buying ready-made lightweight flywheel, but some modification shop for fans for weight loss can also be processed on the original flywheel. But pay attention not because of excessive weight loss and weakened rigid flywheel, flywheel processed balancing must be treated like the new tires put on the whole tire / wheel combination for the balance to be treated in the same balancing machine. Flywheel speed up 6000-7000rpm (and the same engine speed), if the result of an imbalance produced a huge shock to the flywheel shattered, will lead to serious consequences for reimbursement of the engine and gearbox together.MX5 Adjustable Coilovers Therefore, the safest way is to buy name brand produced with a light metal, the price may be slightly more expensive. But it will make you sit back and relax.
