Horsepower to the flywheel is usually what you see manufacturers stating about their cars. This means an engine without the transmission, wheels, etc.. is strapped to an engine dyno and the flywheel horsepower is measured. In the case of a 2000 Honda Civic Si, the motor is a D16Y8. The motor is rated at 127HP. This is the horsepower rating at the flywheel.

At the flywheel horsepower is always higher than the wheel horsepower. When the power is being transferred from the engine to the wheels, so of the power gets wasted in the drivetrain moving parts, such as the transmission and differentials. So, the wheel horsepower is the power that actually made it to the wheels. Remember, AWD cars have a higher horsepower loss in the drivetrain than the FWD or RWD car. See similar questions...

Flywheels are like money in the bank; you can't take out what your haven't put in! A flywheel is essentially a storage device. On larger displacement engines, lighter flywheels (10-14 lbs.) tend to work well mostly because they are easier on the long stroke cranks. Less stress is introduced to the end of the crank when less mass needs to be "brought up to speed." In stock classes a heavier wheel (18-22 lbs. See similar questions...

Tubular and clincher are the types of rims that use different kinds of tires / tubes combination. Tubular rims are lighter and require the tire (a sew-up with the tube inside) to be glued to the rim. Clincher rims have a "lip" onto which the tires are attached (no glue required) to the rim. Tubular tires have the tube already inside, while clincher tires use a tube and tire that can be easily separated. See similar questions...

There are many methods to removing an engine flywheel. The easiest method that will not damage the engine's piston is the "hydro lock" or "hydraulic" method. With the engine out off the chassis, glow plug install and the exhaust header removed, turn the engine upside-down. Use a non-silicone after run oil to fill the cylinder. Turn the flywheel until the piston compresses the after run oil against the top of the cylinder. See similar questions...

Horsepower is a measure of an engine's work-producing ability, combining both an engine's twisting force and its ability to rev. See similar questions...

Hub-piloted wheels have a center hole machined to a close tolerance and are intended to mate with a hub having a properly sized pilot diameter. The bolt holes will be bored or stamped straight through the center disc which is designed to be fastened with either flanged nuts or a clamp ring using cone nuts. Stud-piloted wheels have a center hole which provides clearance to the hub nose. The bolt holes feature a tapered seat designed for clamping with properly matched cone nuts. See similar questions...

There are no discernable differences in the quality of our replica wheels when compared to the originals. We were skeptics at first, but upon inspection of the wheels, we have determined that they are very high quality, and are virtually indistinguishable from the factory originals. They are as durable as the originals, and will not bend, dent, or deform any differently than the original style wheels. See similar questions...

only if you don't mind the noise. every mkiv with a lightweight flywheel will exhibit transmission rattle with the clutch out. this is noisiest on hot days where the tranny is warm and the a/c is on. it's only noticeable when engine braking, idling and accelerating at low rpms. make no mistake, it can get VERY loud.

This is a very good idea as the engine will rev much easier. Take it to a professional though as they will be able to advise on how much to lighten it by. Too much and not only will you weaken the flywheel but the engine will not idle very well. Getting to the flywheel requires the removal of the gearbox which is a time consuming task. Therefore it only makes economic sense to lighten the flywheel at the same time as the clutch is being replaced. See similar questions...

The replica wheels are near-exact copies of the same OEM BMW wheels that are sold at your local BMW dealer (also available on this website). The primary difference is price, as the replica wheels are not sold with the BMW label on them. The factory can charge a premium for their wheels because they carry that BMW label.

Most of the two and four person motorcars commonly operated on our excursions have a 20 horsepower Onan 4 cycle engine. Some restored older motorcars use the original 2 cycle 5 horsepower engine. Since we travel at low speeds, more power is not required or even desirable. See similar questions...

A.The flywheel should be resurfaced when the clutch disc is replaced. This process provides a machined surface for the clutch disc and eliminates any "runout", extending the clutch life. All 5 Winchester Auto Stores have a complete machined flywheel inventory. You can purchased them on exchange basis saving time and money. See similar questions...

No, in fact, we would recommend against plating aluminum wheels. At any time, a rock pit, scrape or deicing/harsh chemicals can break the seal between the plating and the alloy, allowing corrosion to start, resulting In bubbling under the chrome surface, then ultimately peeling. Solution, those wheels can be polished to as good or better of a finish than chrome, and with a little bit of maintenance, they can be kept that way. See similar questions...
