lightened flywheel

[cnewcombe]

any ideas where i could find a lightened flywheel and how much plz?

try ebay mate or there are some companies who will lighten your existing one, not my most knowlegable area am afraid but give ebay a go mate.

QEP (www.q-e-p.com) will lighten your flywheel. Or if you want to buy one already lightened, visit Tweaks. (www.demon-tweaks.co.uk)

Do you know what the weight is bud? Also the weight of the stock one... ?

[Toad]

Looks like Tweeks do another type which is all one piece. I wonder which one to go for? Hmmm... :detective:

i got mine from AP racing with my clutch, i know most mr.clutch outlets skim flywheels. im sure the one over my way did them for £25.
but to be honest, i never really noticed any difference is having min fitted, although i did many things in one go lol

does any1 know how much you can skim off of a standard flywheel with out makig it too hard to keep running at junctions etc?

[williamsvts]

if anyone has a spare flywheel i'll skim it a bit.

i can skim aswell but was just wondering what would an ideal amount to take off so that you would notice it but without taking too much off?

hiflowheads.co.uk do a lightened flywheel for £88, apparently ment to be 30% lighter???

[Matty-VTR]

£375 FUCK paying that, take it to a decent engineering place so they can lighten and balance it and i bet you it will be less then half that and near enough the same weight as that demon tweeks flywheel

Not true. The aluminium ones are a lot lighter than you can make the stock iron one. The stock iron ones are very week as well so you can not even take that much off at all if your planning on tuning the engine a lot.

Any one know the difference between the 2 brands Tweaks sell? One seems to be a sinlge piece, whereas the other (shown above) seems to be made of of several.

yet the aluminum flywheel is alot safer being light than a standard one being machined down. If they get a bit excited and do it incorrectly it can make a nice mess of anything in sight.

standard fly wheels are not that heavy really anyway

[Matty-VTR]

Ahh, didnt know the standard ones were iron

[AXracing]

Ya, there made out of toffee really. Though when they pop they tend to rip through the gearbox, bodywork and any people who are unlucky enough to get in the way like there butter. Its something akin to a claymoor going off but were talking much bigger lumps of metal.

Enlighten me please :) theres quite a few machine shops around here, and i'm sure my mate could lighten fly wheels.
