Rotating assembly component weight thread! Clutches, flywheels, pistons, rods, etc...

[J. Fast]

Lets build a database for this stuff and locate it all in one place... Please post up your individual component weights for clutches/pressure plates, flywheels, pistons, wrist pins, crankshafts, crank pulleys, clutch/crankshaft/crank dampener bolts... basically anything/everything attached to the crankshaft (including your crankshaft). Please make sure to note your manufacture specific piston diameter and compression ratings.

I will do my best to update the thread and create a table for everything that's out there.

Fidanza TT Fllywheel: 10.5 lbs
3SX Stock Sized Pulley 1.7 lbs

Didn't get the weight of my clutch/pp..

Edit: If we're doing G's (Respectively)

4762.72g
&
771.11g

John Monnin started a list of 3/S component weights here a while ago:

Is that a 1G or 2G crank pulley?

[mb3000]

IIRC they don't give a different number for the 91 or 92+ models.

you cant get too hung up on the weights though.. i can make my engine parts as light as i want. its a balance act between material, weight and strength. i could definitely make my pistons and rods the lightest on the market by far but i wouldnt be able to sleep at night lol. it took me a few years to come up with parts that dont show bushing damage, bean stress, skirt distortion, ringland flex and pin boss flex while keeping a thick deck that doesnt distort. my point is, id hate to see people chase after the ligtest stuff.. then have inferior parts

[Ray Pampena]

also, flywheels and dampers.. the heavier the better on those

Yes, but not everyone has the same goals. There are some people who would rather have a lighter piston ect that is stockish strength. Personally I think the people who are either building a light engine or a heavy engine should know what they are looking for, so having the information available is helpful. No such thing as too much information.

I'd really like a sub 8 lb flywheel and a 5.5" diameter clutch.

Yes but isnt the goal to make HP?? High hp engines require the things I said in my post. If you are building a low hp engine.. what is the purpose of doing the light weight parts? To free up HP? Thats where it starts to not make sense to me

[R/T93]

Some guys dont want a 500 hp engine.
