lightening flywheel?

[spikie]

is it safe to lighten your oem flywheel.. and if so by how much is it safe to shave off...

i know it's possible and can get it done cheap.. Jed has it on his pony but wanted some more opinions....

and if u say it's not good to do it them why???

I beleive you should be asking your local flywheel machining shop. They will be able to tell you how much they can shave off if any.

it is safe.. but the question is how safe ,, i dunno. But i know many ppl that have done it and have no problems.. too know how much to shave should be judged by a mechanic or someone whos familiar with it.. i think you should be able to shave enough off to get to about 11 lbs to be safe..

is your flywheel dual mass?

if it is, you can not machine them, have to get one from Fidanza probably

why not just buy a lightened flywheel? The trouble woth lightening a stock flywheel is that if you a machinest that is not familier with the weaknesses of the stock hyundai flywheel.. he may take material off in the wrong place. Unfortunatly, there are few machinests that knowledgable about hyundai's and especially their flywheels.

I have seen a flywheel shatter. Friend of my father's used to race a rotary powered Frog eyed sprite (Austine healy sprite mk1) And when the flywheel went (at about ten grand on the tach) it destroyed the end of the crank, shattered the bellhousing, and put a nice hole in the underside of the car.

one of my friends saw a flywheel shatter.. shoot out of the car and hit a guy in the leg. Just get a fidanza they are stronger anyway

reallly.....:hmmm: i heard lightened flywheels can be more harmful than worth it.

it depends on what you do with the car. you WILL stall the car more often.. that flywheel adds momentium when you engage the clutch... the engine will definatly rev a lot faster and conversly, drop back to idle almost as fast.. the key is in the balance. If everything is done right, you will be putting no more stress on the engine than the stock heavy flywheel.. you might feel the engine more.. as that heavy rotational weight does a good job of masking vibrations.
