someone with aftermarket flywheel ?

[zorlac7]

someone here have an aftermarket flywheel for ur BP DOHC Motor ¿¿

Indigo Speed, Fidanza, Flyin' Miata and Clutch Masters have flywheels for BP Motor.

some experiences and results ?

i had my flywheel shaved. which engine miata are you talking about?? the 1.6L or the 1.8?? i would assume that the flywheels are similiar between the pro and mx5, concidering that they share a similiar block.

i was just told that lighter flywheels arent a good idea for the proteges because it puts added stress on the tranny. I dont see how that would be a big factor unless you were running like 200hp or something.

there is a person in australia with that red familia gtx that did a write up on his car, included in the write up was how he and several others blew trannies due to the added stress of a lightened flywheel...and ive blown a g series tranny...no mess, its not fun, its expensive, and its not worth it for a weight savings of around 10 lbs

[TheLastMarauder]

Some of the transmissions in cars with the older versions of the BP can't handle as much stress... I'm pretty sure the Canadian Protege from 90-91 fall in this category but don't hold me to that.

i shaved 8 thou off of my flywheel. it needed resufacing. 8 thou is not a lot of weight. But yeah we need the momentum of our heavier flywheels

[Protoss]

a "thou" is 1/1000 of an inch

so you guys are saying leave the stock flywheel along.
i was planning on getting the flying miata after i get the lx-t out of the shop.

[Protoss]

dont bother, just leave the stock flywheel. if you want have the crank, blueprinted and ballanced.
