Default Flywheel opinion needed: too fragile??

in my old project i used to have a ITR flywheel shaved to 12.5lbs and then 8lbs Toda/Cusco flywheel
old ITR flywheel no problems


Toda nothing but and strenght



the new setup (12.25lbs - done by a different machine shop) - stock 98 ITR specs shaved





you guys think this is too weak to be used on a 160+whp motor????

all the same flywheel, just sold under different name, also sold as BackYard Special or JAM or Cusco or Toda, all are the same as far desgin/materials and weight....all = 3.5kg and cost 44000-50000yen

as far as the clutch nothing orignal = its also the same as Toda/Cusco/Feel's/Monster Sport/Mugen/Spoon/Exedy cause its all made by Daikin

Dude Toda makes their own flywheel and it weighs 4.1kg. Just because they look the same and cost about the same doesn't mean they're all the same. And Cusco is a big enough company to make their flywheels.

no trying to sell anything just a question....is the last flywheel too thin to be used on a car...???

said who???...honestly because they are a large company doesn't mean that they must produce it....does spoon make anything??? hardly???why do all the clutches from cusco are stamped Daikin/Exedy then ???and all their LSD diff made by ATS???why does Honda use Daikin as well they are big in size ???
does the spoon wheel equal Desmond EVo as far as mold/weight and place of manufacturing??? i know its different cause spoon is a big company right????
