Author Topic: Lightening a 210mm flywheel+16v 2.0 pressure plate questions (Read 8956 times)

I have also been reading that many shops are now selling a generic 8v / 16v pressure plate. I am guessing that this is not as strong as a standard 16v pressure plate. Is there a way to tell the difference? Are there any concern about mating the 210mm and the 16v pp to all 020's?

Here are the pics of my 7 lb. flywheel. I hope this helps.

Wow, nice job! Thanks Rabbit79.
Did you mill the groves into the face of the plate? Thats a nice touch. Probably helps dissapate some heat as well.

The guy(s) at Scooter racing did all the work so I really don't know too much about it. I bought it off eBay about 2 years ago. It's going in with my 1.9 conversion. Should help lighten up the rotating assembly nicely.

Still looking for some recommendations for a strong 16v pressure plate. This will be a daily, but I do not mind a stiff clutch pedal. I am undecided on the exact maker of the clutch I will be going with, but it will be an 8v clutch.
What have you had good and bad luck with?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the stock 210mm Sachs 16v pressure plate w/ 8v disc and the 210mm Sachs Sport Tuned Stock 5 speed, 8V disc with 16V pressure plate. :?:

That was a good read. I had been looking on the vortex, but must have missed it.

I liked this though:
