zetec e flywheel options
Hi,
thinking about lighter flywheel options for a 2.0 zetec e blacktop. i've read that the 1.8 zetec flywheel is about a 1kg lighter,
i've got a 1.6 zetec se flywheel (which obviously doesn't fit) but the cut outs for the position sensor look suspiciously like this
1800 zetec flywheel with ESC cutouts | eBay
whilst a 1.8 like this one Ford Focus MK1 Flywheel (1.8 Zetec) 98-05 | eBay
looks to be the same, but i'm worried it might be the same as the one that came off the motor.
any thoughts?
any other options i should consider?
thanks in advance.
Ed.

Cheap and very light would be the sierra 1.8 cvh but you would need to run a crank pulley trigger wheel set up.
Standard 1.6/1.8 zetec E will be much easier.

I bought a steel one when I converted, place I got it from no longer does Zetec stuff but it looks very similar to a Raceline or Burton one. It was
not the cheapest alternative but it had several advantages. 1) It was lighter than a 1.8 or lightenend 2 litre one, 2) it will not disintegrate and
amputate your feet like a badly lightened cast one can, 3) it uses a pinto type clutch - I used a DOHC Sierra one - £50 for the kit and 10 years on
its still perfect even after a few sprints, trackdays and 20,000 miles, 4) a cheap Pinto starter fits and works great with no spacers, 5) standard
release bearing works perfectly. No regrets at all, would use the same type if I was doing it again.
