    I know my Monster stage 3 clutch is heavy as hell compared to the e36 stuff.
    i have the lightweight flywheel and it's ~18lbs. But the pplate is crazy heavy. I bet the ctsv dmf is every bit of 45 or 50 lbs. heavy flywheels make cars so much easier to drive. And it's a bigger engine in a much bigger car. Makes sense to me.
    always trying to make it lighter and faster

    I love how quick my s50 revs, so that's why I'm trying to make this one as light as that one. Basically I want the car to drive as similar to the m3 as possible, just with more sounds of freedom and torque

    I wish you were closer. I'd love to drive yours and mine back to back.

    Good read and food for thought for sure, however I'm not super worried about daily driveablity, and my thought process behind the weight of what I'm building is that if I make the flywheel around the same weight as my current f1 flywheel (14 lbs) and use the same pressure plate and flywheel (f1 stage 4 unsprung 6 puck with hd pressure plate) then the pedal and driveablity should be the same as the m3, just with a motor that makes more power and torque. I've had 0 issues with my current setup even after beating it up for 2 years and some street driving

    Thanks! Clutch has been ordered and should be here early next week, ordered another fx racing unsprung 6 puck with hd pressure plate, identical to the one in my m3 so should be good. Then next weekend I can do all the final machining on the flywheel and bolt it together for the last time!

    So, motor mounts are done, trans mount is done, headers and Y pipe are done, 325 diff and axles are in, and now it's on to making the new chassis harness. Got to drop it on the ground today and I'm so happy with how it sits. Unfortunately I'm still fighting with the company i ordered my clutch from, so no progress on the flywheel just yet.

    Wow, that is crazy how much room there is in front of the engine! Are those front end accessories sitting at the F-body depth? Or is that a truck pulley??

    Truck depth, stock truck balancer, truck water pump, truck alternator, and a stock e36 p/s pump. Just made my own brackets and spacers to make it all sit right

    That's one of the coolest setups then, in that it definitely helps keep the costs down. Nice work!!

    Is that truck alternator one of the self-exciting ones that are easy to deal with, or don't you even care because you're using a truck ECU or something?

    Truck ecu, will be tuning with hp tuners because easy, whole harness is basically wired exactly like stock, just turned it around so the ecu can sit under the dash instead of in the engine bay

    Few more engine bay pics, got bored so I slapped together a front end. Starting on chassis wiring tomorrow, cutting out almost all the factory harness, going to leave lights, signals, and windows, because street car.

    That looks GREAT! Are you surprised by how roomy and easy to work on it feels in there around the engine, or isn't it as good to work on as it looks like it would be?

    Thanks! Yeah, I didn't think it would be as roomy as it is, but now that it's in there it looks like it will be way easier to get to everything then it would be on a stock 6cyl car. The only thing that's going to be a pain is the rear header bolt on the drivers side, mainly because it's tucked right behind the booster, but even then I think I'll be able to get it from under the car.

    With my CXR mounts and headers, all of the header bolts are easy to get to. And my engine is placed in basically the same spot.

    Made an intake



    And now the long overdue post. The flywheel is DONE.










    Had to make custom bolts to thread into the crank since Chevy decided to use m11x1.5 pitch bolts and they're impossible to find. But it's done now. Finally. Now gotta pull the motor, paint the bay, install everything and start on wiring.

    Love me some piecuts, so of course I'm a big fan of your intake. That adapter flywheel is pretty awesome. A hell of a piece of machining work for sure, beautiful!

    I don't know if there'd be any way to fit the intake without pushing the rad foreword more without pie cuts haha, looking at other people's pictures and standing there with my 4" mandrel bent 90 had me scratching my head for a while..

    And thanks! I'm super happy with it and stoked to get the car running that much more. Go back a page or two for reference of what that chunk of steel started out as haha

    awesome update!

    did you get a final weight on the flywheel and clutch assembly?
    i don't recall. did you have a local machine shop balance the flywheel? makes me want to have mine lightened when it's out next. (hopefully never)
