lightened flywheel?

[dannyb1986]

does anyone do lightened flywheels for the 16v? i had one on my 200sx and it made loads of differnece!

[stew]

nick @ hillpower does!
:twisted:

Think it helps on my car :)

[Lunner]

Stan does

[dannyt]

yer but is it worth just having a lightened flywheel on its own without crank, rods and pistons as a few people have told me not to bother wasting my money unless i do the lot and apparently renault have done pretty well with matching the weight of the pistons rods crank etc?

Just a thought, im sure someone will let us know!

Stan will be doing me a balenced crank and lightened flywheel

[stan]

there is little point in lightening pistons/rod assembly unless you are counter-balancing the crank (lightening the cranks counter sections to suit the recip. mass). balancing the piston/rod mass is an entirley different exercise....little point IMO.

lightening the flywheel is a different story...this is as independent rotary mass, and so CAN be lightened as an individual mass. it will improve throttle response. it should be dynamically balnsed also.

i can offer a complete dynamic balance of the whole cranktrain inc lightening the fly....crank/pulleys/flywheel/clutch cover/all bolts. this is £200.

how much would be took off a flywheel for this price? could the flywheel be slotted as well?

[dannyt]

sounds good stan but as above how much if i sent u my flywheel?

[stan]

for just lighten and balance of the fly would be around £60.

i wouldnt slot a cast one.....

as for reduction, i got mine down to 5kg from 7.5kg, but i also removed the trigger pattern.

Does this include removal and refitting? :wink:

Stan, slotting is fine on a 120 deg triangulation, and so long as you dont go right through the flywheel. Not a had a problem.

i enquired about this when i rebuilt mine.

but after weighing mine, and finding it to be 5.5 kgs with bolts i decided not to bother lol


was quoted some very very silly prices for the work doin too.most were in the £400 bracket......one joker wanted £600+ lmao

btw thats for full lighten/balance

[BenR]

WHAT!!!!

of just the components?

[2 live]

i sent him the block, with pistons/crank/rods fitted, and a cheque for £600.hed cash the cheque and b/l the btm end.



obviously i pissed meself n told him to fuk off....lol

So if you just had the flywheel lightened and balanced on a valver how noticable a difference would it make?

[clowo16v]

It should make a fair bit of difference as all the power is above 4000rpm so it should get there quicker.

I weighed my flywheel last night and it weighs 5kg, so what can be done with this or is it light enough already?

[McPikie]

I'd say that's light enough.

Go too light and you run the risk of stalling when the revs drop due to hardly any inertia weight to keep it turning

[summeh]

make sure u get it done properly tho, as u wouldnt want the flywheel coming apart at 7000rpm and slicing through you/your passenger.
