Yeti 0 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hi chaps first post here thanks in advance Just wondering if anyone has a lightened flywheel for a 2.8 AAA engine ? I have heard very good things about them just looking at a round about price for one second hand and how easy/hard they are to get hold of. Or if anyone has any info on where I can get one new from would be much helpful =] Thanks Rob Link to post Share on other sites
Michael 1 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Do u want to switch it plug´n´play or is the engine not built in yet?If it´s not built in you can lighten your flywheel as well. But choose a good "engine builder" because the have to be rebalanced correct.There are lightened flywheels on ebay as well. I got one in my VR and it works great. But it was not built together correctly. Had to take off the sprocket and set it on in another direction.Price for them on ebay is about 150 €. I´ve got best experiences with a new weight of about 4,0 to 5,5 kg.I apologize for my english mistakes. :-) Edited May 21, 2015 by Michael Link to post Share on other sites

Yeti 0 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks guys I have been In touch with someone through eBay. They are available £200 posted. I'm unsure of spec weight etc I'll find out and let folks know what the crack is . Any idea for weight 4-5kg seems to be popular is that about right ? Thanks Rob Link to post Share on other sites
IbizaPartyBoy 34 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I payed 50 quid for a second hand one on here a while ago 5kg. Love it, loads of people said too light would make it harder to drive, its nade it smoother if anything. few will tell u to get it balanced WITH crank.. thats crap, cranks are balanced already, as long as the flywheel is balanced, then it will be fine. For the life of me I cant remember the name of rhe guy who does then for loads of people on the forums, 90 quid, u post to him and he posts back in that price.I mught have a message still on here will check.
