A review of a lightweight flywheel and clutch kit from UUC Motorwerks. This flywheel changed how my car shifts through the gears and added a noticeable power advantage.

Bear in mind that the noise and vibration at idle will be quite low on this car because it's a nicely balanced straight 6 engine. On a 4 cylinder car the vibrations are going to be a lot worse. But it's a nice review, you have a good style of presentation.

Thanks for the video! I did a single-mass flywheel conversion on my first BMW, a 1991 318i cabrio, and it was absolutely worth doing. For that conversion I used factory parts, specifically a single-mass unit from a 325i of similar vintage (E30 chassis). The power increase was immediately noticeable and I suppose I lucked out as there was nary an increase in noise or vibration. I'm looking forward to upgrading my flywheel to a lightweight unit when the clutch in my 2002 325i finally gives up the ghost.

Great way to explain it. When you said sometimes you mess up and you jerk the car at startup - I have a solution for you! Get rid of your CDV (clutch delay valve) and put in a stainless steel braided slave cylinder hose. I am an experienced clutch driver but on the bmws that have those stupid delay valves I always felt like wtf is wrong with me. Why is this happening. Well now it never happens and I’ve had it mine like I explained for about three years now! EDIT: I heard at the end you already did this so never-mind HAHA!

Flywheels have a purpose and a specific design range bases on the engine, configuration and number of cylinders. If you step out of the design range the gains are completely erased by the losses. Many times the seemingly faster reving is offsett by undesirable rev drop. The reduced momentum of a light weight makes the drive harsh, increases harmonic vibrations and impact spikes, resulting on reduced life of the drive line.

Great video. It had direct impact on events with my car. As soon as DMF in my Octavia VRS 2.0 TSI 6M (APR1 with 235kW & 516Nm) started to slip in 5th gear from 2.000rpm then in 4th then in 3rd, mostly at the torque peak, I knew it has to be replaced. Now there is light SMF in it. Difference? Huge & positive. It is like I have totally different car: engine is more responsive, acceleration is better, throttle reaction inertia, which existed with DMF, disappeared, shifting is faster... It fells as if the car should have been fitted with SMF from the beginning, unveiling its full performance potential. Would I do it again with 40.000km on SMF? Definitely.

Otherwise i loved it. Im looking at this again for my current car to possibly help with the ridiculous rev hange between shifts. Especially one to two. But I'm worried because this car is all-wheel drive.

Lovely video! I'm doing a manual conversion in my e39 530i, and this was very helpful. Regarding gear rattle, have you tried the UUC transmission "cocktail" of fluids? Any better? Did you go for the e34 M5 PP/clutch, or the UUC organic?

Thanks for the feedback! I have the organic clutch. I like it so far. I'm still in the break in period though. It really does grab! I would recommend a cdv delete (check out my video) That made it easier to pull away smoothly. Also no I havn't tried the UUC recommended fluids. I might give it a go next fluid change. Subscribe to see more updates on this clutch and flywheel later on.

In my e39 six cylinder with lightweight singlemass flywheel there is very noticeable annoying rattle between 1300-1800rpm in every gear and also when gear oil warms up it rattles in idle too. Lightweight flywheel is nice otherwise but my most daily driving is city driving so in my use I can hear the annoying flywheel chatter in every trafficlights I’m standing on and every time I accelerate or driving uphill, I don’t even want to drive my car anymore because of that noise😃 I need to change dualmass back and see how much power it can handle(my car is with m52 turbo engine, 54/60mm turbo)

Try and find an ordinary E28 535i flywheel.Older 533i/733i flywheels are a little lighter but not really desirable for ur turbo build and often harder to find and a little more expensive.A single mass flywheel also give you better clutch options to handle all that torque.You dont have to spend that much on a aftermarket kit...just do a swap with first oem flywheel you find and put good pressure plate and disc.Plenty threads about it.

Dont forget 550.00 for flywheel plus clutch 150.00. 700.00 in parts. Thats if you have a flywheel that takes stock clutch pressure plate. ECS uses the stock pressure plate. No custom clutch required. The one I purchased was for my Z4 2004. Freed up power in having to move less mass to the wheels. Like gaining 75 more hp.

I used to use a lightweight flywheel for a while, at low speed( 0-100 kph), yes it's faster than standard flywheel and more fun to drive but.....at high speed it become a really slower than a standard flywheel, and fuel comsumption is higher from standard flywheel because you have to hit more throttle for get a car to run at the same speed as standard flywheel and top speed, when i using standard flywheel, my car hits 205 KPH with no problem but after repleced a lightweight flywheel, it became a dead at 180 KPH >_> (with acceleration from 140-180 KPH like eternity) now, i stick with a standard flywheel. just sharing my experience, good video by the way :) p.s/ sorry for my english.

Thing is everyone focuses so much on the flywheel, but you have to consider mass of entire rotating assembly too. Someone will install let's say 18lb flywheel instead ("still lighter than stock by 6lb yo!") but then install heavy E34 M5 clutch so now entire rotating assembly is heavier than stock E46 DMF and self adjusting clutch.

My E36 M3 shifts as fast as what you showed on your screen and is crazy fast. While you covered the pluses of the lightweight but ignored all the negatives. No longer enjoy the vibration free BMW famous silky smoothness at park state and first gear take off. The dual mass also cancels out frequencies to add to the quiet feel. My car is obscene fast as is, but if I wanted to add horsepower, I would not do it at the expense of what I listed. There are other ways, M50 intake, bolt on Turbo etc. The diesel sound would also completely turn me off.

I bought my NC2 Miata used, and it sounds just like this on idle. It does remind me of a "diesel" engine sound for a second, but it is not as loud. This is the fastest revving NC I have ever driven, and now I wonder if the only previous owner installed a lightened flywheel. I was wondering if he had tuned it or something. I will get a lightened fly wheel when the clutch goes. Then i will know if the previous owner did this mod or not. In the meantime, a set of light wheels will make things better.

People ask why I would want to switch to the lightweight flywheel. Honestly the main reason is that the lightweight flywheel with a new clutch and complete install kit for cheaper than the price of a new dual mass flywheel(dmf). Also because the dmf cant be resurfaced, but the aftermarket flywheel has a replaceable friction plate.

Raksasok Heng you do not have a clutch and flywheel in an automatic. Totally different system.

i've read on the forums people talk about cars with lightweight flywheels struggle up heel... whats your experience?
@ThrottleHouse

The car itself Does not struggle at all uphill. In fact it has more power available so it's easier. If you mean "starting" on a hill then yes. It is more challenging to slip the clutch and get rolling up a hill as it requires more revs.

Yea I could see how it might get annoying. It's all a matter of whether or not you are serious about performance mods. There are usually some sacrifices that need to be made for that smile factor when it counts.

I used to use a lightweight flywheel for a while, at low speed( 0-100 kph), yes it's faster than standard flywheel and more fun to drive but.....at high speed it become a really slower than a standard flywheel, and fuel comsumption is higher from standard flywheel because you have to hit more throttle for get a car to run at the same speed as standard flywheel and top speed, when i using standard flywheel, my car hits 205 KPH with no problem but after repleced a lightweight flywheel, it became a dead at 180 KPH >_> (with acceleration from 140-180 KPH like eternity) now, i stick with a standard flywheel. just sharing my experience, good video by the way :) p.s/ sorry for my english.

i have the JB racing lightweight flywheel on my car and it weighs about 8lbs..........i notice that sometimes i would come to a casual stop and press the clutch in maybe a tad bit late the motor would just wind all the way down the rpm range to zero. is this a normal thing.........

As in the car stalls? I have heard of this yea. There isn't enough rotational inertia to keep the car from stalling out. The UUC flywheel is 11 pounds. Ive never had an issue with this.
