is there a solid fly wheel conversion kit for a Leon mk1 cupra?

[nat85]

Hi, my clutch has gone today and wanted to buy a solid fly wheel conversion kit but apparently there isn't one for a Leon mk1? Would an octovia one fit mine? As they are both auq engines? But would it make a difference as my Leon is a 6 speed box?

There are solid flywheel kits out there http://www.performanceclutch.co.uk/18ltr-turbo-20v-cupra-180bhp-2000/30-4229hf-2036103-233074-607748.php

This is the Helix full kit, it's what I run (and have done for the last 5 years without issue)

*other single mass flywheels are available*

 

[nat85]

thanks alot ,thats exactly what i need but its very expensve lol is there one you know of cheaper?

Why change the fly wheel?

 

[nat85]

errrr cos the dual mass fly wheel are prone to failing and for something that isnt realiable id rather buy the solid one and have it lightened and balanced.

That solid one is already lighter than stock

Can't remember who else does the kits, I liked the look of the Helix and it included a new uprated clutch hence why I went for it at the time. UK manufacturer too with plenty of experience to draw on

Yeah sounds like a good one csd 19, only prob is its way out my budget

Yep kinda figured that nat, surprised not more people have replied with their options.

Iirc Southbend and SPEC do single mass flywheels, couldn't tell you the prices etc though

 

[nat85]

ok thanks for your help

just to stick my oar in, what do you guys think of your SMF kit? do you get any "chatter" (i think thats the word im looking for?)

I have seen a few videos where they sound like diesels on idle, but sound find when moving..

 

[csd_19]

I do get chatter yes, its not the actual flywheel its the shafts turning in the gearbox. Nothing wrong with it but you can add an extra 0.5 litre of gearbox oil (through the speedo sensor hole) which will help to quieten things down.

Ahh right... im still not 100%sure on it tbh... i do fancy saving money in the long run...

What power will the helix kit take?

You can do it with OEM parts from a VW dealer.

Get a G60 flywheel and a vr6 clutch kit.

That's for a 228mm clutch setup, the 6-speed Cupra is a 240mm as standard.

It'll fit in the bellhousing, just be a smaller diameter flywheel and clutch.

 

[rk696]

Doh!

Never noticed he had a 6 spd box.

Just saw leon cupra and presumed it was a 5 speed.

got all excited then until i read 5 speed haha
