What is the weight on the standard Esprit Turbo SE flywheel?

[Jacques]

Trying to find out, without taking things apart

So, I'd like to ask if someone knows the specific weight of the standard flywheel on a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE?

Kind regards,

Jacques

What's up?  Are you thinking light weight flywheel? 

I dont know the answer, surely Esprit Changes knows, he has made several custom light weight fly wheels.

I have a spare flywheel B910E2417F ca. 6.3 kg

Thanks gentlemen.

Well, something is in the forge.

Cheers,

Jacques

Happy New Year!

Cheers,

Jacques

The standard fly weighs 7.2 kg with high peripheral loading.

The standard 4 pot clutch assembly weighs in at 7.5 kg.

I was talking about buying the magic game changing part that Jacques was cooking up!  🙂 

[Jacques]

Mnaaaa, nothing is for sale I am afraid. I need it all to make up my new supershifter/superbox.

I've been collecting parts for the project through the last 4-5 years, albeit very slowly, but hey, such is life sometimes. One get held up by "funny" situations, such as loosing the garage and pit, breaking of the daily bicycle aluminium frame, building nice little parts in titanium for my Laverda SFC1000, building a new mountain bike, laying a new roof on a friends house, lots of gardening including my roses, building a new pc, but this time with the aid of an old Mac Pro case with all internals (fun) and looking into the mac wiring and make it all work with pc internals for mac buttons etc, rebuilding my Copland cd-player with a whole different Teac P-70 drive and servo board, measuring lots of tubes for my amplifier and breaking them in until I finally found the ones I need, photography jobs, renovating my Corrado G60, lots and lots of extra work, being on this forum and of course that darn covid crap, just to name a few. And of course, I am also married  

Erik: what do you need?

Kind regards,

Jacques

I thought you might be having a lighter weight fly wheel made up be spoke, I wanted to see about having one made up as well. 

Thinking of buying the fly wheel that QED sell soon.
