Lightened gti6 flywheel on hdi engine, yay or nay?
#12
End of the day, these engines have an amount of hysteresis (delay between what your foot does to when the engine revs up) to protect the drivetrain when you're going over a cobbled road and your foot moves about on the pedal so you don't end up eating the steering wheel, also to make it driveable for your grandma and also not smoke under fast transient changes - there's a lot of compromise going on to make the car good for everyone to drive.

To get any real sort of improvement in terms of throttle response, the calibration of this would need to be changed... However it's not a case saying "response +1 y0!!" it would probably take a significant amount of playing with to make it responsive, but not hunt or have a mind of it's own.

The flywheel plays a very small part in how fast the engine will rev up in comparison.
