A double counterweighted crank in a 7MGTE will weigh upwards of 30 kg. Add another 8 kg of flywheel, another 3-4 for pressure plate and harmonic balancer, plus rods and pistons and you have a rotating assembly mass approaching 45 kg. Other than endangering your limbs, reducing the mass of a cast flywheel by a kilo will have a minor effect.
