Group Buy - Aluminium Flywheels - Expression of Interest

[(B1) MR_fanny]

cheers...thanks for clearin that ups s13...im still shoppin around too

Mr Fanny,

No probs. Just to clear things up a little:

Locally made super light aluminium 3.5-4.0kg (inc ring gear), $900 inc gst (ring gear fitted + balanced with your pressure plate.) plus frieght say $20 = $920

Locally made light aluminium 4.5kg (inc ring gear), $750 inc gst (ring gear fitted + balanced with your pressure plate). PLus frieght say $20 = $770

Inasnt's Taki Flywheel 4.5kg (inc ring gear), $680 + ring gear fitting and balancing with your pressure plate, say $100 = approx $780

Brodys Ogura Flywheel 4.8kg (including ring gear), $490 plus freight (from Japan maybe $50?), plus ring gear fitting and balancing ($100)= $640

So Inasn't and the local light one are very close, with the super light one being a fair bit lighter and more expensive and the Ogura one being good value but heavier. Are there any other options out there or maybe we can go for a group buy on the Taki one and try to get it cheaper?

my flywheel is ogura and 4.5 kg, it says it on the box

[Guest s13]

Did you weigh it yourself to see?

Taki told me that it was 4.2kg without flywheel. Maybe the stock ring gear weighs only 0.3kg?

[Guest INASNT]

rb25det is actually 4.8 with ring gear, dont know where u r getting 4.2 from, it clearly shows it on the site!

[Guest s13]

oh sorry. You're right. So which one is it 4.5kg or 4.8kg?

Where on the site does it say that weight is with ring gear?

When I emailed them they said it was without ring gear.?

the ogura is 'chrome molly' and at 4.8kgs (less than 1/2 stock weight) is light enough for a streeter. It's also 100% stronger than the original and if you like can be machined down further to reduce the weight.

The ogura has a ring gear on it. I fitted my own BTW. It weighs approx 4.8kgs as I weighed it myself AND on the Ogura website it rates it at 4.8kgs

These aluminium units will offer a good 'circuit race' alternative to the ogura if you don't want to further machine the flywheel (most places will charge about $100 to do this including a balance).

[Guest s13]

Thanks rev210.

Where did you get your flywheel and how much was it?
