Hey guys, what is the weight of a stock flywheel off a 22re? Tried searching but couldnt find it. Thanks!

I weighed mine using my bathroom scales. 24 lbs.

I weighed mine with fishing scales, 24lbs too.

That was before i shaved 10lbs off....

How did you go about shaving off 10lbs?

Yeah we were looking to go lighter, but dont want to go to light, so that might be perfect.

one of my buddies had a machine shop drill the whole way around the outside edge of his flywheel off the clutch contact surface to lighten it up. Make sure they have the capability to balance it too... lighter does rev quicker!

It wasn't easy,,,,or pretty.

First I turned the backside with a brake lathe. That was about 5lbs

Then I use a drill and a die grinder to cut out the spaces between the clutch mounting holes.

I made an adapter and balanced it on a wheel balancer.

And it is remarkable how much it improved responsiveness. I'ts didn't make it into an instant drag car but it was a very noticeable improvement.
