Upgrade your Mini Cooper S R53 (and R52, JCW, GP models) with the high-performance MiniTorque Lightened Single Mass Flywheel. This essential engine modification replaces the heavy, factory dual-mass flywheel, offering a significant performance boost for your Manual Mini Cooper S.

Dramatically Reduced Rotational Mass: The standard R53 flywheel weighs approximately 12kg. The MiniTorque upgrade weighs a mere 5.6kg, a reduction of 6.4kg (over 50%).
Faster Engine Response: By reducing the mass the engine has to spin, this flywheel allows your Mini R53 to rev much faster, delivering sharper throttle response and quicker acceleration across the entire rev range.
Instant Performance Upgrade: Achieve a noticeably quicker and more responsive driving feel without requiring any other engine performance parts.

Material: Precision-machined from lightweight billet steel for superior strength and durability.
Balance: Dynamically balanced to guarantee smooth, vibration-free operation at high RPMs.
Compatibility: Designed to fit Mini Cooper S manual gearboxes (R53, R52) and is compatible with the standard clutch diameter. Features integral starter teeth.

To ensure optimal performance and proper fitment:
Clutch Requirement: When installing the MiniTorque Lightened Flywheel, you must upgrade the clutch drive plate to a sprung version. Please browse our performance clutch kits for compatible solutions.
Flywheel Bolt Specification: For Mini R53 installation, you must use Mini R50 flywheel bolts. The original R53 flywheel bolts are not compatible with this single mass design.
