I ran a 6-lb aluminum flywheel with a plasma-sprayed facing for a couple of
years when I was autocrossing. It was great for racing but hell on the hills in
Seattle. It wore out in 2 years. Now it hangs on my garage wall as a
conversation piece.
Tilton makes an 11-lb aluminum unit for the roadster, but they only run the
batch once a year and sell them all to Nissan Comp. When they run out, you have
to wait for the next batch. Or at least that's what they told me.

Subject: Lightened Flywheel
In all my excitement about these new parts I forgot to ask if anyone has either
lightened
the stock U20 flywheel or used an aluminum flywheel. Ive heard that there are
a couple
of aluminum flywheels available but they are expensive. The Comp. Prep Manual
only show a
diagram for lightening the 1600 flywheel. If youve done this on a 2L, what did
you do?
