How much did your 210mm flywheel from 92 Golf weigh? I am thinking of doing the same with a 1.6TD going into Caddy but have heard that with diesel motors need at least 11lbs and up to work well - is there a minumum of sorts weight that a flywheel should be for using with diesel motors? Was there a noticable difference in how the motor performed and do you consider this a practicul worthwhile conversion?
I had pulled the .71 5th for use in the ACN correct . I didn't end up using it as it would literally drop the RPM like 300.. and it wasn't worth it to me. I do not have the 80% kit, although I am thinking I am going to want it before winter gets here! LOL I get one wheel spin on corners on dry pavement! lolI use this site for all my gear ratio calculations. At 100km/h in 5th with the ACN and 185/60/14's I do 2600rpm's. The k03 turbo is what makes it fun to drive around town, that and the ample torque for the weight of the car. If this transmission were on anything less than 130ft. lbs it would be the grossest thing I could think of. Those gears are way far apart. Apparently it originally came off the lower HP 1.8 gas engines? disgusting! LOLI did nothing with the trans before I put it in to service! lol I bought it used, dropped the fluid, changed the flange seals and installed it. I shoulda had the kit ready to swap in to it! I had the trans on the ground and flanges off! haha, but I am using the 90mm axles and the guy advises against it.
nah, its a 40 rpm difference in 5th gear @ 60mph.. from a .71 to a .75
