If you don't want to go the at speed forged item, companies like qep machine down the stock flywheel.

[blackie_2k5]

ebay sell them aswell seen a few ppl buy them recently not heard anything bad about them

quite a saving

[atspeedracing]

we used to machine down stock flywheels too, but the billet steel items are far superior...

much stronger, better heat dissipation, therefore can run much less material. they are also all dynamically balanced.

sold loads for all sorts of cars. used in excess of 9000rpm and 500+ bhp.

Im pretty sure you can get one from Hi-Flow Heads website for around £80ish.

I was going to get mine milled out by a local company, but heard horror stories of them exploding and pieces coming through the firewall, when I saw a atspeed one for sale privately brand new in the box i went for that for peace of mind.

They arent cheap but quality is top notch, almost a shame to fit such a smart looking thing

[wolf_gsxr]

If your running low power then a milled down one will be fine but a top end bodies or turbo engine the at speed one all the way. And If you have a 200bhp saxo engine your not short of a few quid so te price won't be an issue.

My engine uses a modified original item.

The reason some fall apart is when idiots machine too much metal off/domt do it properly.

[wicked-vtr]

Agreed it would probably be alright, but I saw this one at a reasonable price so paid up the difference for peace of mind

Edit: plus the guy I found to machine it seemed a bit dodgy to me

[kennym1987]

i have a machined down origional. think its about a kilo lighter or something

[mlawlan69]

is this just for weight saving!? or is there another reason people do this?

[ed-bradley]

Less load on the crank, allowing the Rev's to build up quicker.

rotational mass. so the 2 odd kg saving is actually far higher in low gears. Also means more power going to the wheels.
