034Motorsport - Introducing B7 2.0T FSI Lightweight Flywheel & Clutch Packages

[034Motorsport]

034Motorsport is proud to present new lightweight flywheel and clutch packages for the B7 2.0T FSI Quattro!

Our new aluminum flywheel was designed for enthusiasts looking to replace the failure-prone dual-mass flywheel with a lightweight unit for superior throttle response, and more precise clutch engagement.

The 034Motorsport LWFW for the B7 2.0T FSI Quattro is designed to accept Sachs, Southbend, or Spec 240mm clutch kits for the Audi Coupe Quattro, which provide excellent holding power and driveability at an affordable price.

• CAD engineered and CNC machined in-house from billet aluminum.
• Features replaceable steel friction surface.
• Weighs 12.2 lbs. - Over 11 lbs. lighter than stock!
• Compatible with all 240mm clutch kits for Audi Coupe Quattro.
• Flyhweel & clutch packages supplied with OEM quality throwout bearing, clutch alignment tool, and all necessary hardware.

FAQs about the 034Motorsport B7 2.0T FSI Quattro Lightweight Aluminum Flyhweel:

- Can I use this flywheel with stock clutch kit?

No. However, it is compatible with all 240mm Audi Coupe Quattro clutch kits from Sachs, Southbend, and Spec. These clutches are very affordable, and offer excellent holding power and driveability.

- Will I gain many horsepowers with this flywheel?

No. However, you will have a much faster revving motor and experience superior clutch engagement.

- Dear 034Motorsport, I get nervous in social situations, will this flywheel help?

Yes. Just purchase a platinum chain along with our flywheel, and wear them around your neck, Flavor Flav style. You'll be the life of the party wherever you go!

We are now organizing a pre-order special. Production flywheels will be machined, assembled, and ready to ship in approximately 2 weeks. Send me an email or PM to get on the list.

Please take a look at the different clutch options below.

Sachs

This package is ideal for stock turbo or S3 K04 cars, and maintains butter-smooth engagement while providing increased holding capacity over stock.

ETKA shows the same part numbers for the FWD and Quattro flywheels and pressure plates, with different part numbers for the clutch discs.

Fitment should be the same for both FWD and Quattro cars, just like it was for the previous generation Audis. However, we haven't had a FWD car in here yet to confirm 100%.

Is there any chatter with the lwfw?

I don't get any chatter in my car.

[AWDTURBO]

WOW, i was actually thinking about a clutch upgrade when i leave this tiny little K03. :)

[p1nk50ck]

this is awesome. the clutch/lightweight flywheel upgrade was one of the best mods i did to my IS300. i'll definitely have to consider this mod in the future.

SOLD!!

[034Motorsport]

WOW, i was actually thinking about a clutch upgrade when i leave this tiny little K03. :)

It's actually a really nice improvement in pedal feel even on a stock turbo. Not to mention how much quicker the motor revs!

You won't regret it!

[034Motorsport]

Thank you for the orders!

[audimeister]

Laszlo,

I think 034 needs to come up with a turbo kit for the B7 that generates enough power that a stock clutch can't hold it;-)

Then, you will sell a lot more of these...

[TheRealtor]

bump for great guys, issam are you still on vwsport? any activity there?

[Wizard-of-OD]

bump for great guys, issam are you still on vwsport? any activity there?

Ye I still am but it is pretty dead there.Most of the guys have either sold there platforms and moved onto to another make or grew up and have a family.You very seldom find people modifying there cars between the ages of 30 & 45....life just takes over.
Whats up with the red bar? Ill help

[chrislane31]

I just noticed my clutch starting to slip today at 102k so I need to start looking and all of these look real good.

[034Motorsport]

Thanks again for all of the positive feedback!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the flywheels are getting done this week, and the products are now live on our website:

034Motorsport B7 2.0T FSI LWFW & Southbend Clutch Package

034Motorsport B7 2.0T FSI LWFW & Spec Clutch Package

Introductory pricing will be available through February 12th, 2010!

Here is some feedback from a local customer who we did an install for last week:

... I've put about 300 miles on the car since picking it up, and it seems to have broken in nicely! Sorry for hassling you about that; this is my first experience with an aftermarket clutch. The pedal is a bit stiffer than stock, but it feels great. There is no more lurching when I engage the clutch, and the "shuddering" I was experiencing at low speeds with the factory clutch/flywheel is completely gone.

... The engine feels a lot snappier and more responsive. There isn't even a hint of the gear "chatter" that I was dreading so much.

... I wish Audi had delivered my car like this to begin with.

I'm assuming that the torque holding capacity stated is at the crank.
What if you don't know what holding capacity you need, and you end up over what the clutch can hold? Will it just wear out quicker?

[034Motorsport]

What if you don't know what holding capacity you need, and you end up over what the clutch can hold? Will it just wear out quicker?

Yes, the torque capacities are all stated at the crank.

If you get a clutch kit that isn't rated to hold the torque you plan on making, it will wear out quicker, or never break in properly and continue to slip.

That being said, all of these clutch kits require a 250 mile break-in at the least, depending on the friction materials used on the disc. Some of the more aggressive discs can require up to 1,000 miles of break-in.

If need help figuring out torque capacity, just shoot me a PM. If you know what turbo you plan on running, and what kind of driving/racing you plan on doing, I'll have a pretty good idea of what clutch you'll need.

[034Motorsport]

We are now offering a flat-rate $400 installation service for any of these kits! This is for a limited time only, please send me a PM for more info.

[Wizard-of-OD]

Right up to the top.

[agkellyboy]

With an off the shelf AWE BT, would you guys recommend the HD Stage 3?

Yup, the Stage 3 is perfect for that.

[034Motorsport]

Thanks for the orders! 1 week left on the introductory discount.

Bump!

The first production run of the flywheels has already shipped out to customers worldwide.
We just machined up 10 more, here they are with ring gears attached, waiting to be fully assembled.

In case you're wondering how we make these...

Our flywheels are developed and validated utilizing state-of-the-art CAD software, then transferred to complete assemblies with ring gear, friction surface, and hardware. This method allows us to know how much the flywheels will weigh, and what they will look like, without wasting materials and machine time.

The assemblies are once again reviewed and validated, and the machining process begins.

Each flywheel starts its life as a chunk of billet aluminum, which we mercilessly feed to one of our in-house Haas CNC machining centers. All of the fixtures we use for our CNC machined products are designed to ensure consistent fit and allow our parts to be machined to precise tolerances with every production run. Here is our Time Attack VR6T B5 A4 making friends with the larger Haas:

Once machining is completed, the flywheel is weighed, hand-assembled by our employees, and then weighed again.

For all new designs, the prototype flywheel is test fitted, and rigorously tested on 034Motorsport employee and/or shop cars before final release.

Production flywheels are neatly placed into 034Motorsport packaging, and put on the shelf ready to ship.

[Sal_B7]

^^pretty awesome stuff man!

[Wizard-of-OD]

Lets bump this up!

[Vorsprung]

What CAD software you guys using? Just wondering what the pros use. Im learning with NX at the moment.

[Wizard-of-OD]

What CAD software you guys using? Just wondering what the pros use. Im learning with NX at the moment.

Solidworks.

[034Motorsport]

We use Solidworks for all of our design and evaluation needs, and SolidCAM to define machining operations. Solidworks is widely used in the industry, and very intuitive and easy to use. It is enough for the overwhelming majority of CAD software users.

That being said, ProE does have some more functionality, and many government/DoD contractors use ProE exclusively. It's also somewhat more complicated to use.

Inventor and Catia are two other mainstream CAD programs.

Most of the features and operations are very similar, which is why a lot of schools start out teaching ProE. I started out learning in ProE, and the switch to Solidworks was a breeze.

Some fields prefer one software to another, which is why I'd recommend researching the field that you intend to join.

Hi,

I couldn't find SACHS for B7 TFSI Quattro on your website?

Will this kit be just as smooth as a daily driver with stock clutch?
http://www.034motorsport.com/product...ducts_id=16425

I have heard that in order to ride smoothly with an aftermarket performance clutch it has to be organic??

I am by no means a clutch expert, but I wanna make sure I can drive smoothly when getting a new clutch. I will be installing an APR/ATP turbo kit in the car in the near future.

Morten

Organic facing are the best compromise between heat tolerance and smooth engagement. Typically, if you can find a clutch with organic, it is the choice for a daily driven vehicle.

Hello Morten,

Organic will offer the smoothest engagement, but kevlar and feramic discs aren't difficult to drive at all as long as the disc is full-faced.

The kit you linked is actually just for a Spec clutch for use with your stock flywheel.

Our LWFW with Spec clutch can be found here at a much better price: http://www.034motorsport.com/product...ducts_id=19874

Our LWFW with Southbend clutch is here: http://www.034motorsport.com/product...ducts_id=19871

If you're very concerned about driveability, I'd stick with a Stage 1 kit. Both the Spec and Southbend Stage 1 kits use an organic friction material.

However, the Southbend Stage 3 setup is a great deal, and most people love the feel of that clutch.

[oc-drop]

is there a different option for the 3.2?
