Wanted - Steel (not cast iron) flywheel for 1.5 Diesel crank.

[CRSMP5]

all i know is b3 with 1.6td, 020, will slip a 200mm clutch vs a 210mm, 8v disk, 16v pp... and 16v pp clamps more then 8v..

Good info here.  I need a steel flywheel because the sanctioning body (SCTA -Southern California Timing Association) requires it, as does the ECTA.  They are the main sanctioning bodies in the USA for land speed racing.

I already have a 210 mm clutch and pressure plate setup that I bought from a forum member a while back.  I don't know the clamping force of this particular pressure plate.  I can check the part# when I get home to see if anything can be learned from the P/N.

I'm sending an email to Black Forest Industries to find out how their flywheels are marked with respect to timing marks.

W/e clutch kit/flywheel is on my mk2 I'm guessing 190mm thats stock for diesel right? It slips I think sometimes and its all brand new except flywheel wich was resurfaced 2k before I replaced cluch kit with engine swap. No oil leaks either. It's Sachs. So 200mm 8v disc with 210 flywheel and pressure plate way to go then in future? And for this guy as well?

If your gonna replace it all, you might as well buy one of the stage 2 kits (maybe??) for not much more money. I think they claim to have a stronger PP than the 16v one, and the disk is made of better elements.

I know, I know. It's another case of the might-as-well's.  It's only money.

There alot of it out there to just have to make a net that big enough to catch the most

Ahh, No disrespect meant. I was commenting on Bbob203's post of what go buy for optimal holding power in the future as he put it.

I mean.. you going for a land speed record with a 1.5D, is there really any necessity of any ones hobby?

I hate myself every time I spend money on my '67 or my atvs.. but I enjoy it in the end lol

[Jetmugg]

None taken.  I'm all to familiar with the might-as-wells.  They crop up in every project.

bbob 200 on diesel stock...

clamping force.. really... ROFLAO... 1.5td looking for 105mph... LOL..

210mm flywheel the tdc is beside a flywheel bolt.. there is a nice pic in some help me flywheel thread.. easy to mark.. the bigger queston for them is how many dowels... different pp for the 1 vs 2

When you have more area, more force is not needed.

That's a better way of putting it for sure.  Larger swept area.  I still don't agree with the above statements that a 190 vs 210 mm clutch will hold TQ the same.  But whatever.   

my 190mm setup held roughly the same amount of tq as my 210mm setup did..

once i went with the 16 pressure plate tho, i would just blow the tires off, rather than slip the clutch..
