TTV's S54 Supalite Flywheel

[Casa de Mesa]

It’s pretty darn quiet on my DCT - but it doesn’t have a throwout bearing and the TCU manages the clutch operations.

I’ll definitely reach out, otherwise I can organize a tester discount with TTV I’m pretty sure.

I’m thinking about it for mine in the Spring.

Awesome. We're probably on the same timeline. Appreciate the quick reply!

I'm curious about this. Can you pressure the member to install it already?!?

When I pull my motor later this month, I'll need to figure what exactly is wrong with my clutch/pressure plate/flywheel. I'm usually not bothered by minor NVH issues, but if the chatter in this SMF is horrible on the backside of an S54, I'm out.

There's a member who recently got one as well, hasn't installed it yet.

Anybody used this with SMG? If so, which clutch?

This is made to fit with OE clutch. I have this on my E92 M3 DCT, not the E46 though. There's a member who recently got one as well, hasn't installed it yet.

The clutch/gear rattle will be almost silent while the gearbox oil is cold. Once it warms up (20+ min of driving), it will be quite loud. If you're running way too thick of a fluid, you might be able to mask some of the noise but will have a hell of a time shifting these transmissions smoothly. Still, in for video

video made after 30 min of spirited driving and then 5-10 min of idling.

guys, i've made this kit for my car firstly, to get quiet result, which i want. for about 6 years i've made about 10 kits for our local cars, so this is not such business (i'm about lightweight flywheels for s54), like i made on some other of our products. and i don't have any plans to sell it to abroad. so i don't understand what we are talking about.

and as i said previously, sound on smf depends on transmission condition a LOT. cause even on fully the same kit we had results like on video on most cars, and also some rattling on pair other cars.

what's the bullshit?
do i need to post some video? i have an m3 right now in our workshop on our aluminum flywheel and it works silent

had too much work these days guys, sorry. really forgot about this topic.
i'll make video in the next few days. this e46m3 still in our workshop so no problem.

the BS is the word silent used in the context of a SMF, and you expecting people to take your word for you when you sell/make them....

Go ahead. Nothing's stopping you.

A video will be great.

If chatter is a concern to you, then a single mass and lightweight flywheel are not for you. End of story. Don't even peak your interest. Ever. For any brand. There is no magical shape that stops chatter. They ALL chatter.

That being said, I get some chatter below 2k rpm and after it's fine. I use MT90 which I think alleviates it a decent amount. My chatter doesn't really occur until the clutch is starting to engage. My flywheel is 11.5lbs. The vibrations are from like 1,100 to 1,600 mostly. It really caught me off guard because everyone says the chatter at idle. Mine doesn't really.

The advantage of a single mass over a dual mass is more clutch predictability and response times. The E46 M3 has a power response that is almost unmatched. Even a 991 GT3 has a slower throttle response. Eliminating the dual mass, which has a spring in it to dampen, will further improve that response. Mix this with a few other mods and it'll really tighten the car up more. The biggest advantage, in my opinion, is single mass flywheel don't separate. They're one piece, not two. When a dual mass breaks, it chatters horribly. Dual mass flywheels can't be resurfaced meaning they shouldn't be reused. That's more $$$. They're inherently more expensive.

Advantage of a dual mass, it helps dampen torsional vibrations, which the S54 has the most of. A torsional vibration is uneven twisting of the crank. The longer the crank, the more torsional vibrations. The other is comfort.

Can you inquire about a good street/track solution clutch to be paired with this flywheel? Your site information is extremely informative. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a bunch! Copywriting is something I enjoy and I know how much product descriptions are thin and low quality most of the time.

I will shoot Ben an email for you

Good to hear. I believe TTV has a clutch offering as well. Might be available with the kit. I’ll ask.

Dual mass flywheels can definitely be resurfaced.

Jed Pineda who owns Einhorn Industries makes lightened dual mass flywheels for the E39 M5 using stock flywheels.

I've been in talks with him to make a set of the M3 but he doesn't see the point since the M3 naturally revs much faster than an M5.

Well the factory one can't be and this guy doesn't make one for our car.
