Title: Lightened flywheel
Post by: runningmonkey on September 17, 2020, 13:48:43 pm
Hi all

My motor has span a bearing so Iv got to take it out and rebuild.

I was thinking of possible upgrades to the engine once it out,

The motor is 2276 running CB performance EFI turbo kit, best iv done is 12.3 @ 109 mph, running 249 BHP at the wheels.

I had a few upgrades in mind, One being a possible lighter lightened flywheel, at present am running a standard lightened flywheel (which I believe is 5.7kg / 12.5 lbs) I have heard recently a lot of talk about more modern even lighter lightened flywheels, some weighing as little as 4 kg / 8 lbs

Was wondering if anyone knew who makes these and would it be a worth well upgrade to my engine.

Cheers John

if you have planned to drive on the strip Then it will go slower with a lightweight flywheel 
(here in Sweden we put more weight type steel pulley Because it will be faster 60 feet
