OEM Clutch Disc & Pressure Plate 10.1 LBS
Total Weight 32.8 LBS

Total Overall Weight Reduction 5.7 LBS W/ Steel

By using a heavier Clutch Disc & Pressure Plate this will add 3 more
pounds to the Alloy flywheel (as compared to the OEM 2.5 Clutch Disc &
Pressure Plate ) making it feel like a 13 pound flywheel. This overall
weight reduction is 9.7 pounds. A steel version could be made if the
alloy one ends up being too light and or a heavier version is wanted.

Here are some examples of other weights of OEM Flywheels (Engines of
similar power)
All OEM Single Mass Cast VR6 12V flywheels are 17.75 pounds w/ ring gear.
Many users have switched to a L/W Steel Billet Flywheel that weighs in at 11.75 w/ ring gear fitted.
Also available are slightly heavier Cast steel Single Mass w/ ring gear at 13.80 pounds ( still lighter than stock).

MK4 1.8T W/ 5 speed users are changing the OEM DM 22 pound flywheel
and converting to A Single Mass as well.
Again using the same weight as a 12V VR6 single mass steel billet
flywheel that weighs in at 11.75 w/ ring gear fitted.Also available
are slightly heavier Cast steel Single Mass w/ ring gear at 14
pounds.Both of the these flywheels were created in the aftermarket as a
performance part designed for the Corrado G60 and are using the very
proven Sachs VR6 clutch kit ( this Sachs kit is rated to 250-275
Torque and takes more)

1.8T & 2.8 24V VR6 W/ 6 speed 02M 6 speed users are changing the OEM DM
26.5 pound flywheel to A Single Mass type as well. 16.5 single mass
steel billet w/ ring gear this takes 10 pounds off and does not chatter.

for reals? Cuz the one thing I despise about the 2.5 is the effin clutch. It has zero feedback and I stall it more often than my 96 GTI or 92 Golf (which is like never) and there is like no in between on the 2.5, in or out. I hate it and anything I can do to change that is worth it in my book.

Re: FV-QR (5_Cent)

I got 600 miles on mine. I'm gonna wait till I hit 1,000 miles and do an oil change before I really start hammering on it. I've laid into it a couple times in the past few days and it feels great. The clutch pedal feels like something is actually there and the shifts feel so much better.

RE: TeamZleep

Rebleed the system. The purchasers on page 1 had no issues. NGP used this flywheel on their turbo 2.5 rabbit.

The overall stack height on this kit and the oem kit are the same as measured mounted on crank flange.

Re: FV-QR (vw93to85)

How much gearbox chatter (if any) is present with either the steel or alloy flywheel? I'm looking into this for the future, but I would like to avoid chatter if at all possible, even if that means going with the slightly heavier flywheel.
Anything's better than the OEM DM flywheel that's in there right now.

Re: FV-QR (Wally Gorbash)

I can find the sound clips with the alloy one. We have not recorded any with the steel yet. The steel material and extra weight will dampen the idler gear rattle somewhat better than the alloy. There will always be some extra noise when going from a DMF to a single mass conversion.

With the steel flywheel and VR6 clutch in the 2.5 engine, has the engagement point changed at all? Any issues with slipping or not releasing? Also, there is no noise on the VR engines so how could there be noise on a 2.5 with single mass flywheel and a SPRUNG hub clutch?

okay so i have no experience whatsoever on what flywheels fit my car or what clutches work the best regarding six puck, full disk, steel or alloy flywheels etc. I have an 09 rabbit, ive been autocrossing for the past 2 years and my question is what is the best combination of stage 1 clutches n flywheel that is the cheapest for me to upgrade. i have no issues with the amount of noise or chatter it makes. i just want the lowest price possible on upgrading the flywheel n which clutch kit would be the best? sorry for the noobish question but lately my clutch is feeling really mushy or the pedal at least, and i want to upgrade eventually as the clutch will start slipping at any moment.

so if i wanted to be closest to stock dm flywheel the billet steel would be the best way to go? and for the clutch my car is geting a big turbo treatment so if i get stage 3 clutch now will it be undrivable n/a or should i get stage 2 to drive on till then and use that with my built motor since my buddy has a 700hp vrt and has southbend clutch but its rated at 375tq and is holding up... so i should add ill be around 5-600hp when done.:confused:

Re: kevin FaKiN spLits

The steel FW will be the closest overall weight to stock. A six puck disc will not last as long as a full face version.

Because you are building a engine that is going to exceed 400 TQ consider A kit that uses a Sachs Sport pressure plate instead of a modified oem sachs one. South Bend/DXD uses these in the stage 3 and 4 kits.

The Max torque that South Bend rates their stage 4 kit at is 525 and these sell for about $600 w/o a flywheel.

Next step up is a Tilton twin disc with a pressure plate rated for 700 TQ
