Just gauging interest. I am getting prices to make B207 and Z22 flywheels (same dimensions just different bolt pattern).

 

How much interest is there?

Well you know you have at least one customer... From speaking to others, and looking at my project thread I would suspect you'd have over 10 serious buyers pretty easily. .org list; 1. Graeme Lambert 2. 3. 4. 5.

I take it these will be lightweight mentalist badboys?

[fezzasus]

Provisionally interested in a Z22 one depending on price (I assume it will be equal or better to the TTV unit)

I'd be interested in two (though i'd need to understand why these would be better than the CS ones)

From what I understand from Neil the CS items aren't balanced that well because they use a separate starter motor gear ring.

Aren't the CS ones TTV anyway?

 

Would the Z22SE ones be a direct fit (you mention different bolt pattern above or is that Z22 vs B207?)

 

If direct fitment then interested subject to price.

 

Thanks

No, the CS ones are different, they weigh 5.6 kg vs the TTV 4.2 kg.

I think CS now supply TTV not the old style one

 When I was looking to buy mine recently, enquiries to TTV were redirected to CS.

I have a Courtenay/TTV flywheel sat here. It has an integrated ring gear and weighs 4.4kg

[Exmantaa]

Depends on price and design. Personally I find 4.4kg a bit too light, but 5.5-5.8 is fine. Balanced off course...

[AMOSS]

I'll be interested in a Z22 flywheel.

The one I got from CS last week weighs 4.5kg ish on my crappy scales

My 8 hole pattern fly wheel from CS was made at TTV nice piece of work

[Matthew Bentley Racing Ltd]

Ok fantastic. I will get the specs down on paper. They will be comparable or better than the cs/ttv unit. The bolt pattern diff is only z22 vs b207.

Matt if designing some new ones I would agree with the above. My 4.4kg flywheelcan be a bit of a pain in stop star traffic and hill starts. Though this is less of an issue if running std cams and throttle settings.

I've had a CS/TTV flywheel in my car for 5 years and it's a single piece flywheel with integral ring gear. 

 

I'll probably be interested in a B207 8-bolt version as long as it's not stupidly light and not stupidly expensive. If they're going to be a similar weight to the existing Z22SE lightweight flywheel, I'll probably look elsewhere or get this standard beast machined down as the whole bottom end will be balanced anyway.

It's been a long time since mine got bolted onto the engine but that weight sounds familiar and your's looks identical.
