This is something we are working on right now.
Looks awesome!
Thats a sh*t load of titanium, would hate to think of the cost :)

The design and machining are where the major cost lies.
Awesome, what happened to those billet rotors?

For sure, its not often you see a huge lump of expensive stuff though :)
What are the advantages, strength and weight?
Those are going to be crazy light! Keep up the top work!
had a look the ther day keep it going carl looks fab

This is the next level on what we did before.
Nice work, are you doing the tooling yourselves?
Ah makes sence, is this available on the fd and FC engines? (I don\'t know if there is a difference in the rotors between the 2)

How much lighter than ali will this rotor be? Where the ali ones up to the job long term?
as carl explained to me martin the difference is the ali rotor was light but expanded with heat this is titanium so will still be light but be more able to cope with the heat
How do you go about testing Carl, do you have a specific criteria you follow, usage, mileage etc
Update....
I have driven 70 miles so far on these new Titanium rotors.
Not given them much revs yet but so far so good.

Carl
interesting, keep us posted please
here it is.
so how lighter than a standard 1 is it?
Quote from: HaywardRotary;829529here it is.
drool, so hard to work with ti, this must cost a fortune but hopefully rev like a motorbike?
Are you running it FI or NA?
GT35r Turbo on major extend port.
Is it oil cooled ? Trying to understand the sealing on the end faces !
Looks outstanding.
Shaun
120 miles on it now.
It is semi oil cooled.

Carl
Must pull the mass of the rotor down significantly reducing the mass of oil churning around in the rotor. Surely the titanium gives you a much better stability in the heat too.
Do you run titanium Tips as well to minimize the material expansion.
Shame it can\'t be drop forged as a blank first, would be able to reduce web thickness even further.

Any updates?

I want them in the drag car :)
