Hey guys!
I have 210mm Act stage three race spec clutch kit but i dont have the 210mm flywheel. Would it be possible to use the 200mm flywheel? like geting it machined or sumthing?
Will i have to get it balanced?
Appreciate the help.
-
theoretically if you remove the same amount all the way around, it should stay balanced...
-
What do you have done to the motor? We need more info.
-
IIRC the ACT clutch disks are 200mm. Measure it. If its 200mm then you will have no problem.
-
Been awhile since I did a clutch,..
The 210mm flywheels have 9 bolts right?
It seems like the 200mm flywheel uses 6 bolts to hold it to the pressure plate.
It also seems like the 200mm disc fit pretty tight in the flywheel,... close to the bolts,... a 210 clutch disc might cut the bolts.
-
could you use a 210mm flywheel on our engines?
-
yes. you will need a 210mm pressure plate too though. dont do it unless you are applying some serious power though.
-
The timing marks on some of the gasser flywheels might not be in the right place for diesels.

This is true...
Yes you can use a 210mm flywheel/pressure plate combo on our engines. Several people including myself are running the 210mm combo.
I'm running a Clutchnet 8 puck ceramic disk with a SACHS Super Clutch pressure plate and a lightened flywheel.
I can slip it @ freeway speeds under heavy boost so I'll be changing it to a 6 puck set up like 53 willys is running.
-
How does the Sachs Super pressure plate compare to the clutchnet red pressure plate?
-
I don't think it's as good and I'll be getting The Red when its time for a replacement.
For all I know it's just paint :x
-
Hopefully the clutchnet cover has a relocated pivot for the heat treated diaphragm. :?:
Usually that is all that is done to improve clamp force.
Have you tried a 4 puck? not as traffic friendly as the 6 tho.

No I wont be trying the 4 puck, I don't believe they make it with a sprung hub.
The 6 puck will hold more then we can produce I'm betting. The 8 puck I have now does pretty dang good once it's warmed up.

There is a 3-4 puck sprung hub....maybe not clutchnet though. I have run so many different types of clutches over the years.....
Tried double diaphrams with stock discs, stock pressure plates with 3 pucks even was a dealer for Competition clutch and clutchmaster....I hate the stiff PPlates, they tear up thrust bearings...and my L knee

It looks as if clutchnet has both 3 and 4 puck sprung discs.

What sort of pressure plates do you prefer? I know the 16v PP is supposed to be stiffer than the 8v but most people claim there's virtually no difference in pedal stiffness.

I plan to do alot and i am just collecting stuff for it. I plan on having an AAZ in an MK-2 with giles pump, ported and polished head, K-24 turbo with 20 psi boost, arp studs, straight through exhaust and other usual stuff. I have an act 210mm stage three 4 puch clutch kit but i dont have the 210mm flywheel.
So would it be possible to get my flywheel turned and use with my setup?
Regards.
