My 2.5 TDi project

a few lbs should be ok, after all flywheel only needed to start the thing really. i see a defender with everything lightened n balanced. prob do an m3 from the lights!

It's a good idea alright as it takes a while to spin up the revs and theres plenty available to machine off.
I'm gonna run a standard block for the moment because this is my R&D block and then the parts will be swapped on to the engine that's in the van when its ready

I packed mine with shims to allow 1mm travel in the spring. This was the most I could shim it so I could get the clip back on.
I did not touch the idle and intermediate springs

i alwasy thought you need the flywheel to balance out the momentum of the engine and help it run smooth

[robbie.cee]

yes and no. enough crank weight once started. just really to get momentum and help build compression. after the things running, its merely a hinderance. think motorbike 16500 rpm....

think the di has a balancer on the front pulley too so that must act towards helping it run smoooth ,try starting a lawnmower without the blade attached i tryed this once and it tugged back and near took the arm off me cus the blade on a mower is the flywheel

did it start?

[alexgrfc]

nope it fired but in the wrong direction i think lol ,so if you reduce the weight on the flywheel doesnt the engine crank slower just a thought ?

fly wheel helps to govern acceleration...
