215mm Flywheel - Stock vs. Lightened Comparison

[MattL]

Stock on the left, lightened from TEP on the right.

What’s the weight difference

[MattL]

Don’t know, sorry. No scale. But it is significant, and the reduction looks to be concentrated toward the outside diameter. So, I’m hoping it will be pretty impactful.

You don't want impactfullness with a flywheel!

 

The lightened 215 with stock clutch runs right around 30 lbs-

and the weight's off the perimeter, so it's a nice improvement.

15 in the pressure plate, 15 in the flywheel.

Lots of sharp edges... It's a shame the machinist didn't take the extra 30 seconds to radius them.  You may never have a problem, but sharp edges can lead to stress fractures. Looks like the balanced it, anyways.

 

I had my FW lightened when we put the 5 speed in years ago. I think you will enjoy yours.

"Impactful" was a poor choice, I guess. What I meant was "noticeable."

Clever.

 

When lightening, I like the idea of more ‘rounded’ transitions rather than sharp edges. You can see it on this one, which - admittedly - is probably lightened to the point of sketchy. Maybe. -KB
