Gti6 flywheel on a xud. Will it work?

[Logue1996]

Replacing my clutch shortly for something decent like a Helix or Sachs. I also want to run a upgraded flywheel and had the gti6 in mind. Will it work? Are there Any other good upgrades as far as the flywheel is concerned ? I'm running a hdi gearbox. Any help will be appreciated

won't have the correct pickup on the back of the flywheel for rev counter iirc

I thought it would....

Only thing is afaik, there is no locking pin for timing

gti-6 uses gears round geared ring for all effect sensor - xud has two slots cut out on back for inductive sensor

Yeah I know....but I'm 62% sure it has those slots for some reason

ok so heres is a pic you can use 

you want the slots on the flywheel on the right

that being said, prob nothing to stop you running the other sensor and clocks to suit

Dash in the GTI6 is driven from the ECU not the sensor directly, the GTI flywheel will be missing a locking peg hole, and the marks for the tacho. Do you mean you want to upgrade to an aftermarket billet style GTI6 flywheel? As cant see the stock one is much of an upgrade?

I have done various things in the past to make tacho's work from incorrect flywheels, so is possible, but much easier to just keep the system that works....

stock flywheel is 6.5 kg for an xu10, what's an XUD flywheel weigh? a bit more i'd imagine as they have much less taken out between the bolts and less of a dish on the back.

[Piggy]

Xu10 flywheel is 2.5kg lighter

[welshpug]

nice cheap roughly 25%+ lop off the rotating mass then, most of that is around the outside too.

Thanks for the info guys. I just want a lighter flywheel that will add a bit more response and output. Is there any good ones out there that aren't worth a fortune? Nothing over 300.

have an engineering shop skim lighten a stock one for you - shouldn't cost you more than about £20/30

done it twice myself now

Yeah they balance when lightning them. My local one balances them on a carnk though. I have to supply a crank for them to balance them with normally
