If you are happy with the engine as it is, start playing with the cvt.

shew..    i like that idea. do need some lighter rollers i think

[sidthesloth]

You could always try Shakas idea and drill them.

[thebatman]

could be an idea, but i never knew where, how it was done.. thru the material and metal or just the metal?... sounds techy but easy at the same time..

[art]

  You just want to remove some of the inner metal,wiegh them with your digi scale make them all the same 

[thebatman]

i dont think i have anyway to remove the metal bushing to do that....i know some more pricey ones do come apart somehow.

[sidthesloth]

Find a drill bit that doesnt quite fit through it. And drill it.

[art]

 Should be able to do it with a dremmel. i've done it with a drill bit but the friction will heat the plastic up quik the weights will come right out than   (not the best way but works)

[sidthesloth]

Noted, do not drill!

[thebatman]

oohhhhhh, you mean lay em down and drill out the whole hole w/like a 3/8ths bit...i was thinking a pilot hole around the outside to the inside.....

[art]

  Drilling does work!!! It's just not pretty,but its free   It's just hard to keep the inner from spinning against the outer and the plastic is a bit brittle. Can be done in a pinch. You want to lay them flat if you drill the plastic I don't know for sure what will happen it's brittle may weeken it.

  Gota run catch ya later

..i had some 9 gr rollers, that i knocked the weights out of ..

..i can now drive in any of my tuning kit's weights to dial in my variator...

..which i did, and am running 4.52 gram rollers as a result...

[thebatman]

you knocked out the metal, took the material/plastic part and use as a skin on others?? a double layered roller??.

[wordslinger]

..not double layered..

..the tuning kits have metal weights, and two-pieced "plastics" that fit around them...

..with the sets i have, the weights will fit perfectly in the "shells" i made when i drove the weights out of those 9 gram rollers..

..outside th' box!!...lol..
