KL vs BP flywheel

[therieldeal]

Can someone do me a favor?

Anyone have both a KL V6 flywheel and a BP flywheel lying around? I was wondering if you could check and see how well the flywheel teeth mesh. I'm looking at possibly using a KL starter on a BP (odd, I know) and I need to know if the teeth are the same.

If you're feeling really devoted and/or bored, a tooth count on the Kl flywheel would also be helpful. I can count the BP teeth myself. If you could measure the circumference of the ring gear with a cloth tape that would help too.

BP: FW has 112 teeth, Weight 20lbs? Disc outside diameter 7 7/8", spline inside diameter 7/8", spline count 20

(probe, mx6 v6) KLDE- FW has 112 teeth, weight 23lbs Disc outside diameter 8 7/8", spline inside diameter 15/16", spline count 22.

(Mx3 v6) K8- FW has 114 teeth, Weight 17lbs. Disc outside diameter 8 1/2", spline inside diameter 15/16", spline count 22

Even thought the K8 and KL have diffrent # teeth they both use the same starter. Also the K8 and KL flywheel and clutch can be used on the BP. It will bolt on.

thats not true, the KL flywheels are 8 bolt and the BP is 6 bolt.

the clutches do interchange, however.

thank you for checking out the tooth count! the last thing i need to do is check the actual circumfrence, that way i'll know if the number of teeth per inch is the same.

sorry, I ment that you can interchange with the diffrent disks lol

But speaking of which even though there six bolt, I wonder if a KL fw will still bolt up to a Bp crank?

Also the 88-90 Rx7 non turbo use the same Disc outside diameter 8 7/8", spline inside diameter 15/16", spline count 22. So it will be easier to find a disk then a KL

Damn. I thought there might have been a new trick on board. 3lb lighter fly with no real cost difference

the probe/mx6 guys use the mx3 flywheel all the time. supposed to be a nice little swap.

i can't use a mazda disc at all, since its not going to be riding on a mazda input shaft... =o

i think i'm going a different route, but if anyone has a KL flywheel to measure the circumfrence of i would still appreciate it.
