Even if you just replace the surface, its still a moving part. Seems like a lot of extra work and extra variables. I thought the point was to reduce both.

I spoke with jake about this and it's a non-issue. Jake has all the info stored in a computer. If/when in the future the flywheel wear surface has to be replaced he can pull up the data and replicate the balance. It's VERY NICE dealing with someone that is a true expert in his field !

Much easier than it would be with a oem dual-mass flywheel.

A couple of months ago someone who bought an engine from me in 2007 grenade the pressure plate that I had fitted and balanced when I built the engine. I pulled up his file from the balancer and matches the balance in less than an hour.
These are the reasons why we do all work in house, and depend on no outside resources.

I am following this thread with great interest. If going from a 3.2 to a 3.6 were to pick up substantial horsepower and torque, It'd change the personality of the car tremendously, keep up the good work guys!!

Slight setback  The Fidanza flywheel I ordered which was supposed to fit my application did not. Turns out after sending pics to Fidanza they admitted they had a run of flywheels that they mis-labeled and therefore won't fit. The vendor I purchased from has been very diligent in getting Fidanza to issue a RMA and call tag. Jake ordered an Aasco and had it overnighted so we are back on plan. He sent a few teaser pics last night she is coming along nicely . I've got the S up on my lift today I'm going to install the GHL muffler that we are going to use for the 3.6 . I also have a Porsche Motorsport front spoiler lip to add to the 996 GT3 front bumper. Hey she's got to look good right ?

Like normal, the Aasco was 8= grams out of balance. I documented all of this for Aasco, for a complaint.
I'm assembling it now.. There's no other way to achieve 3.6 like this in the world.
Its far from a conventional combination. Thats what happens through 10 generations of development. Its why all the others try to copy us..
Good luck with that this time, copycats!

I installed the GHL muffler today wow does that sound great ! Sounds like a 917 flying down the Mulsanne straight . Unfortunately I had it too close to my new diffuser and it rotated up during a spirited drive and burnt the paint . But it can't be seen but still make me mad. The motorsport splitter went on with few issues and looks good. I'll only post pics whe the car is complete with the new engine.
