Audi S3 8L Clutch and Flywheel conversion

[KENCUTH]

Hello, I have just bought my first audi S3. I need to put a complete new clutch and flywheel on her. Iv been told that the Dual mass is useless and that i need to get a conversion kit. It seems very hard to find 1. I was wondering if there was any other models of cars i.e. TT, A3 Quattro, maybe some VW's that had the same set up of clutch or flywheel that i could purchase which would fit straight onto my S3? I have found a lightened flywheel from america. Would this fit into any clutch tho?

Would appreciate any1's comments

Many thanks

I'm assuming this is the flywheel you mean?

F1 RACING LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL 99-05 AUDI S3 on eBay (end time 11-Jun-11 20:58:09 BST)

Yes thats the one. What are your thoughts?

Yes thats the one. What are your thoughts?

It's hard to say. I know the one you meant as I have had it in my watch list for about 2 months. I was planning to buy one on a just in case basis when I had some spare cash.

They look the part, and I did some digging and couldn't find anything bad.

Same i couldn't find anything bad said about them. Would this fit on any clutch or would i have to buy a speacial 1 for conversion?

F1 stuff is good for the money to be honest. Used a lot in the honda world and never seen any threads about problems with them really. I know of a few people using them in turbo applications (Honda again) and have served them well. One using a stage 3 clutch kit running about 380bhp and almost 300ft-lbs and its never shown signs of failing on him other than obvious mileage wearing.

Andrews running a SMF isnt he, and i think hes running a standard clutch or possibly a sach with the standard clutch cover.

Brilliant sounds good. thanks Look like i will be purchasing 1 shortly. Now just need to find clutch.

Much appreciated for the reply's Welly and Jason.s

 

[KENCUTH]

Ah so i could use pretty much any clutch then?

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Yes i do run a TTV Racing Single mass flywheel, All billet and weighs in at less than 3 kg

It was made to use a standard clutch plate and cover and can be made for Sach if you ask them, I went for the standard as you can still get some good clutches out there for a good price, Not a fan of the sach, think there over priced.

Brilliant really appreciate the comments many thanks all that have posted.

I also purchase this flywheel and have the same problem,but did do some research and found that a stage 3+ clutch is best but just dont no now if to go with a unsprung or a sprung hub,heard its good stuff though!
