The factory BMW S65 dual-mass flywheel is engineered with comfort in mind, catering to the luxury-oriented expectations of the brand’s driving experience. Its design focuses on dampening drivetrain vibrations, smoothing out gear transitions, and minimizing harshness during operation. However, this refinement costs valuable performance. The dual-mass flywheel adds a substantial 27 lbs of rotational mass to the drivetrain, which significantly hinders throttle response and makes rev-matching feel sluggish and disconnected. Moreover, dual-mass flywheels are notorious for being a weak link in modified or high-performance builds and can prove costly to replace when they inevitably fail.
Our Single-Mass Lightweight Flywheel Conversion addresses all of these shortcomings with a purpose-built, lightweight, single-mass design that prioritizes performance. Weighing in at only 19 lbs., this design significantly reduces rotational mass, allowing your S65 to achieve its true motorsport potential!
Features & Benefits:
Precision machined from 4140 HT heat-treated chromoly steel for exceptional toughness, even wear properties, and increased durability.
Material quality promotes even wear across the entire friction surface, prolonging component lifespan.
Heat treated to HRC 28-32, tempered to relieve stress and improve dimensional stability.
Hardness improves component wear characteristics.
Black oxide coated for corrosion resistance on non-friction surfaces.
Precision balanced to exceed OEM specification (G16 spec to 175g-mm).
Specifically designed to work with S65 OE-architecture clutches.
Optimized step height maximizes clutch clamp load and offers a prolonged service life.
Performance:
8 lbs. lighter than the factory BMW flywheel!
OEM Dual-Mass: 27 lbs.
Turner Motorsport Single-Mass: 19 lbs.
Faster revs
Improved throttle response and acceleration
Allows for a more engaging driving experience and delivers a feeling of direct connection
Installation:
Flywheel Hardware: For added peace of mind, apply Blue or Orange Loctite when installing factory flywheel bolts that do not come with pre-applied threadlocker.
Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.
ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.
This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate and a Performance Street Rigid clutch disc.
The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.
Next in this kit is the Performance Street Rigid clutch disc. This disc is an unsprung, rigid disk that is suited for aggressive street and moderate racing applications. The disc pad features high quality organic friction material with a high copper content for improved heat transfer and a steel backed lining for increased strength in burst load circumstances. This organic clutch disc has a significantly higher torque capacity than a stock disc but due to its rigid nature, may suffer from slightly increased spline wear over time.
