F7p flywheel change query

[James5]

As per title I am after some advice, I am currently running the std valver flywheel which cannot be used for wasted spark, I believe the 172 flywheel fit's but do I need to modify the 172 flywheel in anyway for this?? anyone got any pic's of what's needed to be done?

I have just done this to my car had a spare megane engine f7r so used that flywheel no modification need apart from new clutch clio 172 flywheel is the same

:agree: Is that on Std ecu or standalone? I only ask as I am wanting to do this so I can upgrade to wasted spark setup:agree:

[r5turbo2]

Yes I am running standalone ecu and wasted spark

Wow nice conversion :agree:

Many thanks for info

[turbo ted]

Yes James 172 fylwheel and clutch and 172 plug leads to fit wasted coil pack;)

I'm confused? I was under the impression from seeing in a previous thread that A tooth on the flywheel needs to be modified ?

[turbo ted]

The f7p and f7r engines flywheels will not work with wasted spark a flywheel from f4r engine will work, simples:D

thx for clearing this up rob we were looking at mikes f7r which russ did but we wasnt sure what hes done, we read the project thread but its no conclusive :disagree:

mikes must be f4 them jim unless the modded flywheel is still in it ill check tom

:agree: Must be not sure what Steer from the rear done as his thread shows modifying the teeth, maybe he just stuck a f4r jobbie in

The 172 flywheel is 59-2-2, to make it a true 60-2 you would have to remove a bit like steer from the rear did. Wetjer or not it's neccesary for the management to recognise is is debatable, only one way to find out;)

The reason they made a long tooth just before the gap has something to do with signal noise, or to be more precise the dampening of it.

Megane and 172 flywheel are the same, and as Robbie said: the f7p and pre megane f7r flywheel won't work as they're identical on both sides so the management wouldn't know which piston is up....

[James5]

Cheers Robbie & Arthur I should have thought just to whatsapp you guys but then at least this may help others being on here now :D:agree::agree:

[turbo ted]

Westy is using my old setup 172 flywheel vw wasted coil pack and 172 ignition leads:)

[Tutuur]

Does the standalone recognise the flywheel as 60-2 Rob?

[turbo ted]

Yea-up had up to 500hp with that setup and blu three jc5 gearboxes in a couple of days:D

[Tutuur]

Guess it'll be fine then. I just used a file on the 02M flywheel as i couldn't risk having to pull everything out again!
