Hey all.
Because of my dreams of a high reving NA engine, i had to either buy og build a new and ligther flywheel.
Also i had to find a stronger clutch so here is what happend.

I made some drawing of the flywheel, and using the solidworks 2008 program i also could calculate the weight of it :).

The flywheel is made of steel 52, strong steel that is used for that kind of things.
And then the cnc machine was started :).
The clutch is a tilton racing clutch with to cinter metallic plates, and it can handle up to 950nm.....so i think it will do :)

Here is some pic

The flywheel incl the clutch is heavy standard.....17kg
This new one incl all.. 8.6kg :)
I think it will rev fast :)

Of course i will loose some of my tourque.....but i build for high rpm so f.ck that :)

What size Tilton is that ?

The reason I ask, is that I have a QuarterMaster 8.5" twin disk assembly that looks very close to it.
I have an Ogawa Eng. (Japan) 7M flywheel set aside to modify to accept the QM clutch assy..

So I would be interrested in one of your flywheels, providing you decide to duplicate yours, and the clutches interchange.
Or hell, even if they don't, I can sell this QM to a chevy owner,
and buy the Tilton.

Hey again.
It is balanced on a machine that can do it to extreme precission.
The ring gear is the original that is mounted again.
Best regards Jens Pedersen

So jens, are you selling these? i'm sure there are a few people on here that would pay for the quality and the time spent designing and researching such a project.
The tiltons are the ones found on ebay from ex nascars right?
