There were two types fitted the to C20XE engines, flet type (< 1993) and pot type (> 1993). The pot type was heaver. So you first need to know what year it the engine is.
I don't know if either will fit a V6 block, have never tied. But having said that I know a guy who used a F28 6-speed box on a 3L V6 Calibra (conversion) and he used a C20LET standard clutch for a while. So that must have fitted the pot type flywheel, so yes a C20XE flywhell may fit a V6 block at the end of the day.
Because the engine won't idle. At 3Kg, the engine won't be able to idle around 1000rpm, The flywheel smooths out the rotation of the engine at lower speeds, keeping it smooth between each cylinder fire.

but this is for the junk yard.
i´m machining an aluminuim one.
that and my 'Tilton clutch' copy will be even lighter
this winter i´ll also lighten the crankshaft..
uhauahauha.. 2.1kg!!! nice!!!
yeah, i didn't think in this..in idle need a inertia of flywhell for have continuos spin.. Because this GTE have low idle like 700rpm, because have heavier flywhell..
Maybe with 2.1kg flywhell can improve some horsepower too..
7kg is a good weight anyway, its the first step that most tuners take flywheels to. if you fit a a heavy clutch it will eat a light flywheel for breakfast.
Yeah..i forgot this..in turbo engine, have a lot of torque, and need a harder clutch.. both things that sacrificing the flywhell..
I think the so ligh flywhell is good for N/A engines..
often the flywheels you are talking about fully machined in top quality aluminium like 'T6'
BUT!!!
they mount an friktionsurface made of steel.
that´s the way my new flywheel is designed..
aiming under 8kg complete with clutch.
if i haven´t mentioned it..
YES!! i do work at an machining shop
and for emissionsrules in sweden
under year -88 we got some rules with rather big tolerances
no cat needed.
up to 3.5% co
and up to 3000 hc (some kind of unburnt ****)
