Hillman Imp lightened flywheels

In this case the weight saving was an Impresive 2kgs,thats about a 25% reduction.

Just in stock and about to be sent for dynamic ballancing due to the fact that with removal of so much metal off the standard flywheel,most of the factory balance holes have been removed on the lathe.Lightening a flywheel gives an engine a faster throttle response,it also allows the engine to slow down too,plus it saves weight overall,recomended for any sports engines.

We will use one of these on the 998cc engine build we have on,the other will go into an engine being fitted with Hepolites Powermax pistons to a plus 60 thou,over bore,this is the maximum an Imp engine can go to with out relining,it will raise the cubic capacity from 875cc to 916cc,its only about 4.75% extra but it all helps!
