Lightened and balanced fly wheel question

[johnny27]

Does any 1 know if a nova 1300 flywheel will fit my 1.2? As I'm looking to get a spare fly wheel lightened and balanced so I can put it straight onto my nova without having the car off the road for long. Anyone ever had this done, much power gain? Thanks

it wont give you any more power but will allow the engine to rev easier. i cant see why fly wheels wont fit.

you may find the 1.3 sr fly wheel is lighter any way i know i had a vauxhall fly wheel which was lighter than a 1.2 and i put thata on but didn't notice much difference

every kg off the fly is worth 100kgs off the car

[Snowface]

wow!" that much. Mines been lightened but not sure how much. Mike Oxford could probably tell me.

[mikeoxford]

i sure could.

ive dug up a load more paperwork for that engine you bought.

ill bring it along to one of the many shows

its not ste :P

every 1kg removed from the outter 5cm of the flywheel is the same as 30kg off the car :P

my new flywheel is less than 1/2 the weight of the 1 i got on now :D
