flywheel ring gear
Turbo Mini Forums

I have just replaced the ring gear on my ultralight flywheel.

The ring gear was possible to push on with just my hands/my weight with both parts the same temperature. This can not be right?

At the time I just thought, okay, its a slight pressfit, and its going to be welded. I welded it up on the end of all the 6 "spokes" on the ultralight flywheel.

Then I started thinking, will it be alright, even if its not a proper pressfit like they should be?

Maybe you should add that your weight is not average

I can't see why not, its not going anywhere if its welded? How easy did the old one come off?

I guess the only reason they are a tighter fit on the cast flywheel is to avoid the need of welding?

I always thought it had to be heated and clamped up as it cooled?

I stand corrected. You should know

okay then Vegard, I am 94 kg's, but I don't think that matters much....

Anyone? will it be safe?

i wouldn't worry too much, if youv'e tack welded it it'll go nowhere,

My very forst Ti flywheel ended up like this and i just held it in place with 12 m3 capscrews, job done,

Thanks Carl.

I am ready for balancing then Vegard, are we going to use my crank for it? As I have to balance the pulley and all

I've got an unbalanced crank to do...

okay, I would like to put mine on aswell, to make sure mine is in balance.
