does anyone have pics on which parts of the flywheel a machine shop would lighten. im not doing it just curious for an illustration.

 

 

 

no pictures,but my cousin had his done,they shave material off from the back of the flywheel.

 

back meaning driver side, not passenger side correct?

anyone know about how much it costs and how much they can normally tak off?

 

would also like to know

sonny driver side right? how much was lightened?

 

???

 

yes,its the driver side that is machined off,sonny's looks like they machined a minimal amount of material.

 

pounds reduced?

 

Comparing a stock B16A flywheel to ITR flywheel, the difference is machined off material on the drivers side. Where there are ridges on the B16A flywheel, the ITR flywheel is a flat surface. The difference in weight was approximately 1-1.5lbs.

 

im asking say on an LS fly. how many pounds can they take off?

 

On an LS flywheel, its not recomended to go lower than 15lbs. Ive heard some people go down as low as 13lbs, but it seems like thats getting awefully thin.

 

whats stock weight?

 

18.8lbs

 

cool how about other flywheels now. anymore pics, and how much do machine shops charge normally?

 

?

I would also like to know, i have a gsr flywheel lying around that i planned on getting resurfaced and lightened. One of my friends told me that lightening a stock flywheel is dangerous. Is there any truth to this?

 

just some pics i have, forgot where i got the pics from and have no information on em. this is NOT my flywheel. so dont bother asking me for anything.

 

I can get a picture of my flywheel sometime tonight probably. I just had it faced so it was even and balanced. Its really easy to see where it was machined.

 

I was gonna get my stock H22 flywheel lightened when I got it resurface, but the guy said it would cost way too much to lighten it and i'd be better off just buying an aftermarket one. He said it could easily cost over $300 b/c it's a long process.
