4340 is perhaps the highest grade high tensile steel that most machine shops can machine!!! THe japanese ones that are below 5 kgs are a totally different kettle of fish they are billet cast then machined (very expensive)... Also all you guys wanting to go below 5 kg have you thought of the effect on MAIN bearingS when doing this and not haveing the crank balanced; as you would in a rebuild.... Word of warning!! Going to light would be detramentle...

free bump!!!they sound good pity i have a tripple plate!!

nice price on the flywheel.

The comment about going below 5kg on a balanced flywheel causing any kind of damage to bearings is rubbish however. You should retract the statement for fear of scare mongering for business, a tactic I'm sure you are not advocating.

I'd like to point out that 6kg odd is still alot lighter than factory stock and for those who don't have $500+ to spend on a lighter unit it offers a cheap but, very significant performance increase.

the flywheels are CNC machined but are they also balanced at a significant rpm?

If you can't get 10 people, are we still able to get them even if its a bit more?

Ok

We can buy 6 now for $375 each at the same price as before

The group buy will remain open to try and sell the other 4.

The company is getting 20 made at the moment and they will be ready in 2 weeks

I will PM all people who wanted one and arrange payment once they are ready to ship.

Sky30: It depends on who you listen to. From my understanding, after fitting the flywheel the following is true:

- Torque will decrease, thanks to less inertia , due to less mass on the moving flywheel.

- The engine will rev faster, thus generating exhaust gas more quickly, thus spooling up the turbo faster. (This is faster in time, not faster as in lower rpm point) Unknown exactly how faster it'll rev... depends on load and enviroment, etc.

Ive been Reading abit about these, apparently its like dropping the weight by about 100kg in first gear, so you could imagine the accelaration. It takes less effort to run. The motor will spin freer, but noticeably idle a little rougher if you go too light.

Theres a couple of good reads on the net on these. Do a search!!

They're a wee bit of a trade off... lose a bit of torque down low, but who the hell cares because you're into the meaty power/torque zones faster, so it's all good. :)

If you really care about torque (as we all really should), do a 3L conversion or put some cams in.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
