Unorthodox Lightened Aluminum Fly Wheel
Implementation cannot take place
without research and development. Our Ultra Light aluminum flywheels are
no exception. Ultra Light flywheels are CNC-machined from lightweight
6061-T6 billet aluminum. Tolerances, as in our pulleys and sprockets, are
held to within .001". These flywheels can be used with any stock or
aftermarket clutch setup.
Our Ultra Light aluminum flywheels have some key advantages over stock and
other aftermarket units. Machining tolerances are extremely important when
making a flywheel. Parallelism on our units are kept to within .001", the
most accurate in the industry. Dowel pins are hardened steel units and all
hardware is grade 8 (grade 10.9 metric equivalent), the highest grade of
fastener available today. Torque plates are also included in applications
where required and flywheels are checked for zero-balance before shipping.
Our friction insert (heat shield) is a specially treated alloy steel with
a surface that is much stronger than the stock flywheel. All inserts are
CNC-machined instead of being quickly ground like most aftermarket units,
and are replaceable on all the models we make if ever damaged.
All ring gears are heated before they are placed on the flywheel and then
cooled to shrink them in place. In addition they are bolted to ensure the
ring gear will never slip or come off the flywheel under any
circumstances.
Our flywheel weights are chosen very carefully. They are the perfect
balance of strength and light weight. Because of their light weight,
energy normally used to turn the heavy stock steel flywheel is now used to
turn your drive wheels! In addition, the reduced mass allows the engine to
rev faster and get you into your power band more quickly. For turbo cars
this is an even greater advantage, allowing the turbos to kick in faster
since the engine is revving more quickly! Our flywheels are the perfect
choice for street use, drag racing, autocross, and road race events.
Horsepower gains for aluminum flywheels can average from 10 to 30
horsepower over stock levels at the drive wheels.
