I'm running a standard 2004 S2k with the 2 litre AP1 engine (New Zealand spec), it has the CDV fitted and I'd like to remove it.
Will my car be running the heavier AP2 flywheel or is that only on the 2.2 engines?

 

my guess is that the "ap2" flywheel only comes with the 2.2. if the heavier flywheel was put on the 2.0 engine, it would make revving slower not to mention the less torque already... but like i said it's just a guess

 

From what I know the only difference is the exterior, the engine was left untouch(F20C) for New Zealand, etc.

 

But still with CDV?

 

i want to say yes and that i've read it before somewhere... but it's been a while. have you tried searching already?

 

actually, i take that back. i'm 99% sure you have it. some late model ap1 in 03 here in the USA actually came with cdv, so i'm guessing your 04 has it for sure.

 

Thanks guys, and yes, I've searched. I know I've got the CDV (should have phrased my query a little better) as it slips at high RPM shifts, it's not a dodgy clutch, it's CDV for sure.

Really want to remove it but heard some pressure plate/heavy flywheel issues from AP2 owners and wanted to know for sure if I am running the lighter flywheel/CDV combination.

 

the only "issues" are that the ap2 flywheel is so heavy it carries so much momentum while spinning. our clutch is not the strongest of clutches, and combined with whatever cdv slipping damage they've already created, they see their clutches still slipping.

 

Ok, so does anyone know for sure if the AP2/F20C uses the lighter flywheel?
