Mazda Wagon Rotary Flywheel Explosion

piece of shit

[TheScientist0000000]

I've heard that before installing a new, different weight flywheel you need to get the engine balanced, but how does one go about doing this? What are the most important factors, the harmonic balancer and the crank journal bearings?

[Cordtus]

@TheScientist0000000 if you get a custom flywheel on a rotary you need to have a counter-balance from an automatic installed. the factory flywheel has a counterbalance built in and without it your engine will vibrate to pieces

[slickstrings]

This is an occurance particularly when you lighten a factory flywheel. Its not a safe practice. They are designed for a specific load which means the material needs a minimum mass. A friend of mine had his flywheel lightened then put in his rotor and the thing came apart, cut through the exaust, his fuel lines and into the footwell, (people have lost their feet from this) the fuel lines sprayed fuel onto the exhaust and flames were shooting into the cabin through the vents. DONT BE CHEAP.

u did know metal grind create more heat must damage to engine, flywheel, diff, and more

[driddax]

i have a nissian skyline turbo that blew the flywhell jus like that on the main rd went through a house an 3 walls will part ov the flywheel did and just misd a guys head buy about 300mm luckey man he is i hav now replaced it with a racing 1n defintly went off with a bang tho made a bit ov a mess 2

@driddax A license should be required to use a keyboard. This would prevent YOU from happening.

aji, Got your ASS kicked by Mr. WANKEL to many times hahaha!!!!

[cydrift]

What a bunch of assholes, start picking bits off the track instead of going to see if the driver was ok, good one!

[energymc22]

I guess thats why its called a "flywheel" lol :)

[MrCuntPunch]

yes the are.

[timoklap]

must have been the flywheel of this car what nasa saw in space?...

[medoseedo11]

Instant Wire tuck

[medoseedo11]

Thats what happens when you have a motor that can rev to 12 grand lol. I'm glad he didn't get hurt. Go Rotors. and make sure to always get a ballistics shield when reving over 8.5 to 12

[isamike]

fuckin spewin!

[subeefan]

damn this car sounds sexy

[duanedragon2]

And this is why you either buy a flywheel from Racing Beat or a (more expensive) transbrake blanket. Also route all fuel and brake line to the outside of the frame rails; this is experience speaking. We had a clutch explosion in our RX-2 that would have taken my brothers feet off had we not anticipated a catastrophic uncontained flywheel failure.

Always build your car for the worst possible scenario. Never weld in rollcage tubing stronger than the Jaws of Life can cut.

[Rich606]

And why you buy wipe-clean seats...

[stevensmashesSOULS]

good stuff. you know what your talking about. +1

[killarota7]

when i seen this the 1st thing i thort was did he keep his feet then saw him get out

[quaxk]

@duanedragon2 sorry, but no, and no, the flywheel explode because you run past its tensile strength, this is not a manufacturing weakness, it's not suppose to run that fast, period, don't blame the manufacturer when you hicks do stupid stunts and don't understand the physics involved

[tyrondeetlefs]

that gona hurt the money pocket hahaha unlucky dude.

[bnz500]

jyhtfjyu

[cornflakes002]

A new meaning to the word flywheel.

[rmachinesuk]

remeber, always use lock tight and the correct torque setting HAHA

[1skiinIan]

and remember to shift!!! lmao

[Paxmax]

WOW! look at the altitude!

Well, that could've ended much worse, had it been flippin towards the crowd!

[smartestinUSA]

Why did you shake the camera?

[maireeka]

hahaha i love how people are clapping and stuff, shouldn't they be concerned for the driver?

[R26BYESPLZ]

lol how bogan is this vid, from bak in the days of the short shorts lol

[bigbirdpete]

rotary are cool even ones that go bang

[Coachramsies]

if it aint a rotor it aint a motor!

[laserturbo90]

Hahaha at the guy(s) with the mullete(s)

[Rotard12a]

Guy's lucky to have his legs

[Soob4ME]

wow, I bet that flywheel picked up some speed. did anybody see it going back across the strip??

[sh3lbot]

gotta love rotary :D
