BMW E36 328is - E28 M5 Lightweight Flywheel Test

[muumikuu]

How is the handling now? if u let gas pedal up, does it start slow down more faster?

[gripracer]

@muumikuu engine braking characteristics are not changed. the only things that can change that are compression ratio or engine displacement relative to the weight of the car and gear ratios.

[muumikuu]

@gripracer Oh, good to know, thank you for your answer, and nice work uv done!

[gripracer]

@muumikuu thanks man :)

[Cornalmullin]

wtf kind on answer is this, you never changed displacement or compression you just changed the rotating mass

[gripracer]

@Cornalmullin apparently you didn't actually read my answer. or possibly what the question even was. either way, read them again.

[jM2meT]

do you have FI?

[ermir6]

How did you get the metal trim around the gauges?

[gripracer]

@ermir6 ebay and a bit of gauge-cluster dis-assembly. its a great little project that i highly recommend for anyone who wants to subtly improve the interior of their e36.

[niematojak]

Is the driver James May?

[gripracer]

@niematojak LOL yes. this is back when I had James May hair.

[VQ35DER]

you think i could use a e30 m20 flywheel on a e34 m30

[pater429]

you can see it is a happy bmw, his tail was wiggling.

[countanes]

Is this the original exhaust?

[radovane36]

bad sound broo

[ILoveSummerParadise]

Nice BMW ;)

[polska1993PL]

WOW it looks Very responsive as soon as you press the gas rpm gauge follows there is no delay.

[Shadowpillar]

also does this affect engine smoothness at all?

[gripracer]

@Shadowpillar good question, and not at all. it still runs like stock. it's not a super-light racing flywheel, it still has a bit of mass to it.

[Shadowpillar]

@gripracer

what all did you have to get to make it work?

[Shadowpillar]

any guides on how to do this?

any special parts?

do you need the whole clutch, or will just the flywheel work?

[ivantnt26]

so this flywheel fits with no modifications at all ?

[gripracer]

@ivantnt26 for this to work i think you need the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate. better get some new flywheel bolts just for safety too. there are a few flywheel options and a bunch of guides online.

[cCcKaan52cCc]

Think mine is lighter.. I got none.. ahahahhaa

318i 2.5 24v

[bonjovi54321]

sick rims! where did you get them from?

[gripracer]

@bonjovi54321 hah, thanks. they're just E46 M-Sport wheels. Cheap and easy 17s.

[ivantnt26]

@gripracer just got those for my e36 coupe other day, they look even better on e36 than e46 !

[gripracer]

@ivantnt26 haha, i totally agree. for some reason, they look really bangin' on the e36 and just average on the e46. i think the e36 is better suited to 17s whereas the e46 needs 18"+

[MetalicB0x]

just got a stage 3 clutch flywheel for my well tuned NA m52 powered 328is.. jesus christ she pulls like an M3 now due to the extra torque. ty

[TheFamousLoser]

I thought you were going to drive it. haha

[BMWpower4me]

I love my E36 328i. Only mod is a Signature Motoring performance intake kit. They run around $170 and add up to 9HP in the E46 323/325/328 and up to 9.4HP in the 328i. That's about $17/per extra HP... A good value for the extra oomph. General HP increases are shown:

E30 series: 6.0-13.4hp gain

E36 series: 5.5-12hp gain

E46 series: 6.0-13.9hp gain

E92 series: 8.5+ hp gain

Z3/Z4 (all): 5.5-13.9hp gain

See my channel videos for action!

[ivbeenshot]

that this is zippy in the rev range lord o

[iflifedied]

Wow that needle just shoots up like nothing

[paavo10]

Can you explain your modification of engine?THX

[paavo10]

super video buddy,I want lighter flywheel than you for my 325i e36 coupe.Increasing of rev is like a motorcycle.CAn you make a video by drive,changing gears and breaknig "by engine"

[gripracer]

@paavo10 thanks.

I will if I get some time.

[williamjamesfrost]

@gripracer do it :) thanks

[williamjamesfrost]

@gripracer yes that video would be great if you get chance :)

[Reverie100]

cool yea ill swing by one of these weekends im a blacked out e36 328i...

[Reverie100]

where in cobb are you? do u ever attend any local meets.

[gripracer]

@Reverie100 in marrietta

I usually go to the starbucks on barrett fridays and saturdays, and the V when its warm

[merajj]

also, what camera did you use to shoot this ?

[gripracer]

@merajj

canon HV30. you can pick one up used for about $450.

[merajj]

"does that say brospeed ? omg it does" were my first thoughts clicking this video. great stuff :] i hope to upgrade to a lw flywheel in the future
