Any recommendations? Aftermarket as good as NOS Porsche? Any disadvantages with going with a lightened flywheel. Thanks!

Kennedy Engineering, Lancaster, CA will modify your type 4 flywheel for use on a six engine. They will also sell you their stage 2 clutch assembly .... $$$$
or Get an early 901 flywheel and have it resurfaced if necessary. Then buy a clutch package from Pelican or ??? . Used flywheel ... up to $125.00. Resurface by machine shop ... $100 ??. Clutch package complete about $450. Clutch is esentially the same as used on the 2L four cylinder car. |

I have a lightenened flywheel and it is very different to drive around town with. or hold a steady speed on the freeway.
it's 10 pounds. I love it for Autocross etc. but for a daily driver I would stick with around 12 to 14 pounds. |

Joe- Pelican Parts lists a 6.4lb flywheel for 914's that "increase performance without effecting driveability"...? If it was that easy than why wouldn't it have come with a lighter flywheel anyway? How is it different driving around town with a lighter flywheel? I can kind of see how it differs on the highway by being harder to hold a steady speed. Thanks Joe |

You pretty much have to drive it like a sports car ALL the time.
Until my wife gets a few miles on it she will either stall it or rev it to the moon and slip the clutch like crazy. nothing like her RX-8 or old 928. I would think nearly anybody can do a clutch in a 914. it's really not hard at all. there is a step by step on Pelican parts tech articles and also I would imagine one somewhere here or on the club. No need to drop the motor. If I were you I would get the kit and it has all the parts and seals you need. |
