Thinking of getting these two items on my car as i feel these are the only things I could do to make it more responsive. Anyone recommend what cam I should go for, and is L&B the flywheel worth it, as in will i feel much of a difference with my setup?
I have a flywheel. I'm unsure of how much it's been lightened, I'll have to look in to it. I have heard you loose some torque with a Lighter Flywheel but I'm sure someone will know for sure.
Ive got the ctm/msm 9 slot flywheel, makes the engine rev a lot better, a worthy mod to do.
Its one of those jobs you combine with changing the clutch etc as its engine out. I didn't notice any loss of torque/idle probs.
cam choice will depend on your turbo

285 worked well with my .49, don't forget the springs as well that need fitting
Difficult to fit?

machine shop lightnened my flywheel by about 25%/30%
Definately feels more responsive, you need a few more revs to pull off with any weight in the car but to be fair like with the old mini's these engines are fairly torquey anyway.
285 cam and a 9 slot MSM/CTM/Whoeverthephuk flywheel were two of the best mods I ever did.
When it comes on boost,
Anywhere i can go to get flywheel and cam fitted? Or any members wana earn some dosh
I've fitted a flywheel with the engine and box still in the bay.

Thats how I always do it. Saves fecking around with driveshatfts etc.
Someone on the site *cough, Sparkie* cough* did an article on the old site on removing the cam with the engine in-situ.. never done it myself though till the other day, worked well, although i had the head removed & i think he did it with the head on, since you'll have to remove to fit the springs it's nay problemo
