oilyhands Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 TTV make excellent flywheels, I have fitted 20 or more with zero issues. 3.2kg in weight. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22daz Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I fitted a TTV to my 1.6k and at the time was £300 including delivery. Straightforward job to do yourself. Once the engine is out if you’re anything like me, you’ll be cleaning and changing other parts too whilst it’s easy. The difference was 7000g vs 3083g for the TTV. It was much more enjoyable to drive and loved to rev. I refitted the standard clutch as it still looked new but it did need some different size bolts for that. Worth taking the engine out just for this upgrade. 22daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 TTV are good, I'd look at them for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin_T Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 TTV. Great family company. brilliant product. I have dealt with them for years. I have sold their products worldwide. Used them personally in all my own fast road and race cars. Make their own clutches and hydraulic slave cylinders now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtBuddha Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I have fitted a TTV lightweight flywheel to my 1.6 K over the winter, along with ARP flywheel bolts and paddle clutch. looking forward to assessing the difference in a couple of weeks time once it’s back on the road.

D Jones Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Another vote for TTV , fitted to my 1.8 by Rob at Ratrace last year and weighed at 3.18kg (I love his precision) big difference in the feel of the engine and its ability to spin up/ respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandpiper Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 SLR gurus does anyone know much the stock flywheel weighs on the VHPD? Which TTV product would be an improvement.? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_h Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) The vhpd lightweight flywheel was in the region of 3.7kg. The r500 was a little lighter, possibly 3.3kg. This is from a few scribbled notes from years ago but if the ttv one is in that ballpark it’ll be similar to one of those. QED do one at 3.2kg. Much lighter and it’ll have no idle strength and stall a fair bit I expect. Edited March 5 by simon_h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TTV (pictured above) weighed 3.14 kg on my digital scales - and the one in the post below mine shows 3.18 kg, so I'd say that's a pretty accurate measure of what they weigh.

Sandpiper Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Thanks DB - it's a shame the moment of inertia isn't ever specified, it would give a more realistic quantification of the likely effectiveness of swapping them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Most of the weight saving is in the outer reaches of the flywheel (as the picture shows) so the rotating moment will be much lower. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
