A lightweight aluminum flywheel is a great way to increase throttle response and free up horsepower by reducing drivetrain loss. Factory flywheels are built to minimize engine and transmission vibrations, making them heavier and requiring more energy to make them spin. An aluminum flywheel can save lots of weight over the stock steel unit - sometimes over 50%. While the dampening effect of the stock flywheel is reduced, most enthusiasts would agree that the increase in performance is well worth it. In addition, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, improving throttle response. This JB Racing lightweight aluminum flywheel kit and is designed to be used with the included factory clutch, making replacement and service easy and inexpensive, especially compared to specialized racing clutches. It also preserves the driveability of your car on the street, and enthusiasts tolerant of a mild to moderate NVH increase will be especially taken with this setup. In addition, the JB Racing flywheel can be easily rebuilt with a new clutch contact surface, allowing you to enjoy faster revs and superior response for many years to come. Stock Flywheel Weight: 27 lbs. JB Racing Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel: 9 lbs.

Aluminum flywheels are much lighter than the stock steel flywheel and that produces better throttle response and more available horsepower to the wheels for faster acceleration. The JB Racing aluminum flywheels are a direct replacement for the stock flywheel and work with stock clutch components for an easy upgrade with very little downside.

Modern flywheels are built with additional components and features that are designed to dampen and minimize vibrations from the engine and transmission. As a result they have become bloated in weight and that means more energy is used up just making the flywheel spin. The weight difference between an aluminum and steel flywheel is huge - sometimes more than 50% less. Without the additional mass, more energy can be diverted to where it counts most - moving the car. The flywheel and clutch is one of the first areas that engine builders address when making the rotating assembly lighter for race engines. The dampening effect is just not needed on cars that are focused on performance.

In addition to releasing more power to the wheels, the lighter flywheel allows the engine to spin more freely, which improves throttle response. Again, the difference is huge as you watch the revs build faster than before. With the engine spinning easier the power band comes up much sooner. The stock steel flywheel feels lazy in comparison. There is a driving adjustment required to get used to how much faster the engine revs but that's not really a downside.

The JB lightweight flywheel is designed to be used with a factory organic clutch - the same clutch kit that you would get from any BMW dealer. This makes replacement clutch components easy to source and inexpensive when compared to specialized racing clutches. By using the factory BMW clutch, JB has also made the whole assembly easy to live with when used on the street. The clutch behaves the same as it originally did - just with better throttle response and more power! The JB flywheel can also be rebuilt with a new clutch contact surface - you don't have to buy a new flywheel.

Aluminum flywheels are considered 'single-mass' flywheels because they do not have the same dampening designs as an original 'dual-mass' flywheel. With a single-mass design more noise and vibration may be noticeable. There are steps you can take to minimize the noise - heavier weight transmission oil and clutch discs with anti-rattle springs (sprung-hub clutch).

The JB flywheel includes ignition trigger wheel.

This flywheel replaces the stock original single-mass flywheel and should only be used with the corresponding 'single-mass' clutch kit. According to BMW the single mass flywheel was installed in all 325e up to 5/86 production date but we have seen some later cars with a single-mass flywheel. The age of the car almost guarantees one or more clutch replacements and possibly a change to the original flywheel as well. You may not know which flywheel is currently installed until the flywheel cover or the transmission is removed.

Stock Flywheel Weight = 24.0lbs
JB Flywheel Weight = 8.5lbs

This item fits the following BMWs:
1984-1988 E30 BMW 325e 325es (with single mass flywheel)

The Clutch Masters FX725 is a high-performance 7.25" (184mm) Twin Disc clutch, specifically designed for drag racing applications with compact bell housings. Developed from decades of drag racing expertise, the FX725 offers outstanding performance with minimal rotational mass. Though primarily built for track use, advancements in friction materials now allow for occasional street driving. This clutch is engineered to withstand extreme horsepower and torque while maintaining a manageable pedal effort for race conditions. The cover assembly is precisely machined from billet aluminum and treated with a Type 3 hard anodizing process. Our billet covers provide approximately 25% more tensile strength than traditional cast units. By crafting an exceptionally strong yet lightweight cover, we eliminate flex, ensuring consistent clutch operation. While cast or stamped covers may flex up to .030", our billet cover flexes only .003", allowing the throwout bearing’s movement to be fully utilized for clutch engagement and disengagement. This enhanced strength results in greater clamping force across the same surface area compared to cast or stamped alternatives. The outcome is a twin-disc system that delivers superior power transfer, exceptional drivability, and maximum efficiency for high-performance applications.
