Lightened Flywheel And Clutch For 1330?

Mini Technical Sections Problems, Questions and Technical
1

I am building my 1330 up and wondered if it was worth fitting a lightened flywheel? So what are peoples thoughts?

I also want to keep the pre-engaged starter as well - so does this make a difference??

And lastly, would a metro turbo friction plate be man enough for a 1330 with Morpseed PH3 cam?? Also what pressure plate is advised - grey??

Thanks

I have got a lightened flywheel in my 1330 and it is ok can’t advise on the turbo but an orange pressure plate is all you need as that is hard enough to put to
the floor can get abit tedious in heavy traffic.

if you can afford it, look into getting steel billet fly and back plate, nice combo set and can get ring gear attached to suit if you ask

id say that cams a wee bit lairy for a turbo application, i believe thats a fast road cam? longer duration isnt best thing for turbo’s and much better off getting comething with less

pressure plate, depends what friction material your planning on using, mine has rally plate from AP with grey spring plate, didnt seem heavy to me really (before my mechanicle kit anyways)

Sorry I have caused confusion. I was asking about a turbo friction plate, the car itself is NOT going to be turbo’d

Where might i get a steel billet flywheel set mini93??

So would a metro turbo type friction plate and grey pressure plate be the ideal combo??

Sorry to be thick but not all that knowledgable on pressure plate colours

Orange diaphfram, AP rally/race friction plate, steel lightened back plate and a lightened flywheel will be fine for that.

Cheers Jordie - any links to flywheels & back plates?

yea defo worth fitting a lightened flywheel and backplate, the engine will pick up alot quicker.

personally i would go for a AP friction plate and orrange pressure plate, grey is to heavy for road use really and not needed on a 1330 with PH3 cam.

I dont sorry. I had a minisport one, but it came with an engine I bought so I used it.

I think MED do a lightened one with lightened backplate?

I know MED do clutch kits which include a flywheel, backplate friction plate and pressure plates for about the 250mark there are a few options to choose from.

Hmmm may have to rethink…

Anyone else?

Been looking on minispares and they don’t seem to have any lightened flywheels in stock

What are the opinions on this..?

Minispeed list this but it is a reconditioned one

I’d say its deffiantly worth fitting if you have the engine out, does make a noticable diffrence in acceleration and will rev more quicker,

Got a ultralight one from Minisport and was using an orange dia, but if i was going to buy one now i’d probley get the one from MED as it has all been blanced etc.. well worth the money imo.
