The RPS Flywheel


RPS SEGMENTED FLYWHEELS

The World's First of its Kind!!
Where better engineering produces better products.

RPS announces a new line of superior billet flywheels. These flywheels utilize RPS's patent pending "segmented" heat shield system. Traditional heat shields warp because of the uneven heat produced by a slipping clutch. Just like a car going around in a circle, the outside tires go faster than the inside tires, the clutch disc slides faster around the outside of the flywheel than it does around the inside. The faster moving outside gets hotter than the inside. Because metal expands more the hotter it gets, the outside of the heat shield expands more than the inside. Traditional heat shields are made of one piece metal rings, so when the outside expands more than the inside, the only thing the shield can do is warp. The RPS Segmented heat shields are not connected so they can expand and contract without warping. A warped heat shield causes the clutch to slip, which causes more heat and more warpage.

RPS Billet Flywheels are dynamically balanced after CNC machining. Other flywheel manufactures assume that since they CNC their flywheels it comes off the machine fully balanced. This would be true assuming the density of the aluminum is constant throughout the part. Unfortunately even the best billet material is not evenly dense throughout and the starter ring gears are never perfect.

RPS Billet Flywheels are also fully rebuildable for the life of the car.

Warpage! Hell No!
Our flywheels have been tested like no other.  Try dumping & launching from 7K RPM drops!  Yeah, they're that good!  Unlike ordinary single disc flywheels our metal pucks will not warp.  Here's what the competition looks like after some good lovin'!


The Competition.....uuggghh!

Install Tips
I recommend using 30 ft lbs. on the pressure plate bolts to the flywheel.  Our flywheels use steel inserts versus raw flywheel aluminums threads.
