Rotor Lightening
All lightening processes are carried out on CNC equipment and is a very safe and accurate method used to reduce the overall weight of the rotating assembly. Although different types of rotors are subject to different amounts of material removed, one quarter of a pound all the way to a full pound of weight can be accurately removed. Further weight reductions can be achieved when we also perform our Combustion Chamber Modifications
Some advantages to lightening include:
Smoother power band
Quicker turbo spool up time
Less chance of vibration
Achieve higher RPMs more reliably
Less wear on bearings
Better heat dissipation into motor oil
A more accurately balanced rotating assembly
Any rotor which is lightened will require the rotor to be rebalanced on its own axis.
Cost range: $155.00-$350.00 per rotor
Cost to dynamically rebalance rotor: $80.00 each
