24V Conversion - Flywheel Adapter Options
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2024 12:02 am
Hi Guys,
I’m working through the last of the engine mods for dropping a 3.0 litre 24V V6 into my GTV6 - donor engine is from a 1998 166 (automatic).
It seems that there are options available now to use a CNC billet adapter plate on the 166 flywheel rather than rebalancing the original transaxle flywheel to match the 24V spec. I’m interested in more info….
First question is what flywheel does the adapter work with? Because my 166 was an auto it has a lightweight flex plate (not a dual mass or solid flywheel). Identical to the one in this ad:

Second question is whether the adapter is a “bolt on” or is some machining needed?
(Kevin: promise I’ll start up a thread on my build soon!!)
Cheers,
Keith
