V6 Flywheel On Xu Engine?

[bobdylan_55 1]

Hi all

 

does anybody know if I would hit any problems when installing a v6 flywheel to an xu block?

 

I have noticed that the xu uses m9 bolts in comparison to the v6 m10 bolts but im not sure this is such an issue.

also the timing location is different but I think this could be altered in my megasquirt ecu base timing?

 

I have an ml5t gearbox so physical size is not an issue.

 

thanks

would be much simpler to use the turbo flywheel.

I already am, but I need to fit a helix clutch as its slipping and they dont do a 24/21t clutch kit other than the 242mm v6 one.

 

I attempted to remachine the turbo flywheel to suit the v6 clutch but the pcd for the clutch cover holes was a larger diameter and is extremely close to the outer diameter of the flywheel and looked dodgy at best.

 

Any other ideas? Ive thought a twin plate setup but then I need a custom flywheel plus the twin plate kit and then make it fit the release bearing in the box which sounds ££££

 

My only other option is black diamond do a paddle kit that fits straight on the turbo flywheel but only takes "upto 40% increase in torque" which I dont think is enough for my setup.

Your best solution would be to forget PSA flywheels and fit an aftermarket 184mm flywheel, which would open up a wide range of high torque possibilities.

How much torque?

 

Maybe the solid flywheel conversion kit for 2.0 HDI engines could be used?

If you decide not to use a XU flywheel with trigger wheel, the 2.0 HDi (RHR 136bhp) engine has a quite slim trigger wheel mechanism on the cambelt side.

I actually wondered to use that myself once as thing look a bit more modern

What you need is the 306 TTV 184mm race flywheel with 60-2 trigger. Then look on the AP Racing website for a 184mm clutch solution which is greater than your expected Nm output. For example,

 

AP Racing

184mm single plate clutch assembly

CP7381-OE80-SF

 

Driven Plate

8400-A019 4 paddle

 

54mm CP3457 release bearing

 

However, that's probably on the limit and you might be better off with a twin plate setup.

So I went ahead and got a helix twin plate setup. Only issue now Is the flywheel is too big on the inside diameter. So I can replace it for a 184mm ttv one but im not sure then how to setup the crank sensor.

Buy the TTV 60-2 184mm flywheel. The TDC sensor bolts into the original location. There is nothing else to do.
