    F7p flywheel change query

    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?

    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

    Re: F7p flywheel change query

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

    Re: F7p flywheel change query

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

    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

    Re: F7p flywheel change query

    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....

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

    Re: F7p flywheel change query

    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!
