keep us posted man, very interesting.

 

i am sure justin d. at importcarpartsplus or whatever it is, will have a deal for us.

 

stock weighs about 30lbs!?? where did you get this info from?
do you know what the lightened flywheel is made of?

 

My tuner that has the flywheel in his hands. I don't know what the Clutchmasters flywheel is made of though, sorry

 

Are you sure the stock Flywheel weighs 30lbs? I never weighed or even picked it up but that thign looks very thin and light.

 

Just had him weigh it..

22 lbs

 

Damn. Crazyness. So that one is still less than 1/2 the weight?

How much is this flywheel?

 

I think it was like 300 or 350 or something,

You can call Justin at Import Car Parts Plus 434-454-4469 he'll hook you up

 

Ill prob wait a few more months until I blow up my tranny to buy one of these.

 

Just called him, 378 shipped.

But he'll prob do a group buy or something on it

 

im in the group buy. was slamming gears today and second started to slip so will not be long till this is toast. clutch feels weak off the mitsubishi's lot. so while im in there 9 pounds next to 22 is some change. :yesway: good looking out.

 

is this flywheel going to require the 2g starter?

 

heeeeeellll no, not this one, baby!!!

 

I think the flywheels between manual and autos are different. Do they make them for the Auto/Sporty?

 

Ummm, I didn't know that sporties had a flywheel

 

:lol:

Yes, all cars have flywheels.

 

thanks for the info YourMine. keep us updated on the gb situation and such. also i would like to know more specs if thats possible. preferrably from the manufacturer

 

yes, this sounds kind of to good to be true.

what is it made of? has it been tested for strengh and durabilaty?

what about proformence wise? reving, HP, TQ, 1/4 mile times? need more info on this!!!!!!!!!! )

 

the 2g turbo flywheel is identical just has a smaller center openning for the crank. Check the specs on those. from www.clutchmasters.com

 

Has anyone heard anything about the RPW flywheel it seems pretty good but based on what they say a new flywheel wont help you but I was thinking of getting this because I just got a spec stage 3 clutch and with rpw flywheel and new lsd I wont have to worry about killing my drivetrain. Vision Import gave me a price of around $400, but this is what they said on the website.

"RPW manufactures a range of upgraded flywheels for the 2.4 litre model vehicles. Contrary to popular opinion there is only marginal benefits to replacing the stock 2.4 flywheel with a lighter unit. This will only lose torque and the result being loss of power. The reason for this is that the standard flywheel is already a factory super light unit. Rather than the old days of being one large mass of cast metal, the flywheels are now a centre light weight steel thin plate bolted on with four bolts to an outer cast metal mass of flywheel. Essentially almost a flex plate onto an outer flywheel. Because of this design there is little chance of making a unit any lighter, and for no gain to boot."

 

ive handled an auto's tq converter/flywheel. the flywheel is very thin steel.

is your mechanic that said its heavey the same one who will install the new lighter one? doesnt that give him motovation to encourage you to get a lighter flywheel?

 

Thats what im saying. I almost laughed when I pulled my engine and looked down at the flywheel. It looked light as hell. But liuke I said, I didnt take it off so I really dont know how much it weighs. It just 'looked' really thing and light. :dunno:

it is thin and light. the tq converter weighs the most. with out that hunk on it, id guess it weighs ~18lbs give or take a few lbs. no way in hell is it more than 22lbs tho. even that sounds a lil piggish.

 

the engine and tranny was already out of the car. He is not charging me anything extra to install a new flywheel or clutch. I trust the guy and there is absolutely no reason for him to lie to me and tell me that it weighs more than it really does. Believe me, he wants my car out of his shop, its been there for over 7 months now. If he didn't see a reason in replacing it he would tell me. I could pay 35 bucks to a machine shop and resurface the stock flywheel and I would have gotten the car back a week ago. He gave me that option, and I told him lets do it.

You guys can make your own decisions on whether to replace it or not. As well as believing how much it weighs. I do not represent anyone, nor am I promoting this flywheel. Makes not a bit if difference if anyone buys it. I am just looking out for everyone here that wants better performance.

So

 

Just called him, 378 shipped.

But he'll prob do a group buy or something on it

I called him to and he said that the flywheel is only made for the 2000, the 01 and up have different flywheels. So whats up? :ugh: :squint: :bash:
