Kent AST2 imo, or maybe a 300 duration piper depending on the rest of your setup and how you want it do drive.

know how much u can remove from the fly wheel and the head for skimming anyone?

[Stuart]

can take about 1.75mm off the had max, but i wouldnt advise going that far lol

I think around the 6-7kg mark is a good amount to take off the flywheel-anymore than that and you start waving goodbye to your torque.

mmmm, pre-ignition. :lol:

only the manliest of people go for diesel petrol engines :P


6-7Kg... i cant remember the flywheel that well but id have sworn it only weighs about 10KG tops... wouldnt want to take that much off it

Agreed, not too much off a small engine or the poor thing will struggle to tick over :lol: Although if your Dan you could use a plastic flywheel with no problems :lol:

I was thinking that when i wrote it actually, last time i looked into it was about 2 years ago though, so maybe i'm getting confused and it should be take the wheel down to around 7-6kg (e.g. take 3-4kg's off).

The dual mass omega flywheel weighs around 13kilos iirc, so i guess the nova one will be 10kg's tops........

my xe flywheel only weighs 7kg standard, i would imagine a 1.4 one to be a bit less. When i had mine lightened it went down to 5.5kg, any more an you run the risk ot it flying through your roof at 6k lmao
