Sounds like a plan. When I got my parts from Martin he didn't have a starter from what I remember...been two years now (where has the time gone)

Anyway, With my engine size and projected power output Jake didn't want to trust a cast 228 flywheel thats over twenty years old. I know lots of people use them, but we felt it would be the weak link in this setup. If you want a new forged billet 228...Kennedy can make one. For the past two years Jake and I have tried to find a factory forged 228, but never found one. The ones people said were forged that Jake bought were cast. And the companies we talked to that specialize in WBX motors said they never seen one either.

My 228mm that now runs 350 hp/6500 rpm is cast too and obviously holds fine, but I'd rather have the Kennedy 228mm steel one as well tbh. Its not forged billet BTW, I asked specifically and they say its just a very good steel item, which is a sort of chr-mo if your not picky ;-). Pity it costs so much to ship these have items to europe.

Jake doesn't want to risk the stock cast ones on this build. (I don't either) Many people use these stock flywheel's with good success...but there is always that one (which would be mine ) Brett told me forged billet, but I didn't question him about it...I'm just happy to finally get a "new" flywheel for my project. I was also happy to hear (for others on here ) they can make a "new" 228 flywheel.

Oh yeah, I hope to build this 2.9 beast in January, and dyno it! Then, I might be able to tell you some details of what's in it...I'm under strict orders right now. I've only seen a few parts of it myself

Sandeep, and Wally run the 228 PP. The disc is a 228 with a different center hub, Kennedy can make these no problem. (making one for me right now)

I did! but back when I still had the 915 (using a KEP adapter 915->type 4 flywheel). That adapter flywheel (doesn't have a ring gear like all 915 fw's) costed about $250,-- too back then BTW.

NOW (with the G50) I use a stock cast 228mm type 4 flywheel and HD 228mm Sachs pp like Wrench described perfectly .

All clear?
