1uz fe flywheel

My aluminum flywheel is less then a week away now.

Any chance you'd ever make a steel one Jake for those of us in the US looking to stick to a heavier flywheel in a 4x4?

superrunner is modifying v6 truck steal flywheels. thats your best bet, thats what i have been running in my supra for the last year.

The whole modified cast flywheel thing makes me nervous. Not saying anything would ever happen. It's just that I remember my metal shop teacher from high school even 20 years later telling me to never, ever do that...

2nd this. 30# flywheel would be insane on a uz. cash in hand.:wavey:

if you really think about it, all cast flywheels are machined (modified) even stock ones

The casting isnt perfect and the holes are not cast into them, they have to be machined after the casting. and even then they are mechined down the road to get them smooth again during clutch changes so what super runner is doing isnt anything diffrent then what is done to build a brand new one.

a Steel flywheel could be possable, but let me finish the projects i have started before i jump into another one. aka it will be a wile.

If you keep drilling alternative bolt patterns into a flywheel the centre will eventually fall out!

All flywheel manufacturers say don't redrill flywheels. Is this to protect their market or you?

Rarely will all 8 holes pass through vergin metal as one or two usualy interfere with an existing hole.

If you've ever seen the end result of an exploding flywheel you wouldn't even think about modifying one. I've seen it once and don't want to see or hear of it again.

Legs are something I use to drive me car. I wouldn't like to see one removed by a 10kg piece of metal slicing trough it.

Besides your legs you also have a gearbox and tailshaft no longer attached to your engine and starting to whiz around in circles plus a floor pan that's perforated like a colander.

I'm still a good bit away from really needing it. If push comes to shove I did find one in AU or NZ (don't recall off the top of my head) that I can have shipped.

Zuffen, just what are you trying to say here? J/K, i agree. A NEW steel flywheel is what i am looking for. thankyou for putting it all into a perspective all should get.
