Flywheel/clutch combo.... (help me spend $$)
alright, well my throwout bearing is currently toast so I gotte dig in there and fix that...
Now, as always the thought of "while I'm in there..." creeps into your head.. So here I am posing a question to you guys on suggesting how for me to spend more $$. I don't drive the car for daily use much at all. I have a cute little wagon for that. But I do autocross it a fair amount, and we do our version of road racing/cruising every week. taking that into consideration, here are my ?s: Flywheel: light steel or just buck up for the AL one? I know it's streeability is questioned, but that hasn't stopped me with anything else on my car, so why shoudl that? Clutch. Still a stock port -SE engine, so I'm not putting down outrageous HP numbers or anything, so what's the best clutch for the purpose keeping $$ in mind. Who's run what, and had what impressions so far with what they run? TIA! Eric |
I run a clutch masters clutch,Its 70% over stock and was nice,BUT I need more,
DO NOT get organic materials,if you dont want a hard core clutch get kevlar lined, Im gonan use the same Clutch Master Pressure plate,and get a 6 puck ceramic/bronzed dual friction clutch disc made. I got a shop locally that makes clutches. I should of just got a 2500 psi plate from them made,When I get my disc made im gonan get the pressure plate checked for PSI,I think its about 2000 psi.. If any of you 12a guys need a clutch disc,I got my clutch masters im selling it has about 2 months use,and been in the car since last Sept,till recent,I just pulled it out for the rebuild. |
how much you want for it
PM me i'm interestd |
Beat me to it Matty :( How much hp is that clutch good for? I'll be going turbo on my 12a, hopefully soon, and I need it to be able to support at least 225rwhp.

im selling a clutch new in box
thought you may want it if you havent bought one yet. its a centerforce dual friction. Id like $175 for it plus shipping.

Hey... go get your own thread! :D
Flywheels, anyone anyone? |
Don't know about flywheels, lighter weight, balancing, life expectancy, too much hastle for me. I'm using a four puck ceramic disk with no springs and a race? pressure plate on my race car ('82 GS 12a) from Racing Beat I forget who actually makes it, but I like it. I'll go with the same setup except I'll get the plate with springs for my GSL (not an SE) when the time comes.
|
alrighty.. I'm back with this again, now that I have some $$...
gonna just go straight for the AL flywheel, but what about clutch? I read mazdtrix site, and it sounds like the street/strip or street/race level is where I want to be. So that being said, go for theirs, or the centerforce dual friction? Who sells clutchmasters for a good price? |
all the way to the 2nd page and not even a comment?? comeon guys..
|
Well, here's a comment anyway...I'm very interested to see how that Al flywheel works out. Those have always intrigued me and since you're running a stock port SE like myself our results would be similar. Please report back your findings. Thanks!

My car is faster still :-P .... but prolly not for long with the rate your going!!!!
I like your car better than mine... I say get somthing that will hold up... dont get a strong ass clutch that will rip your drive line to shreds instead of burning the clutch....... just dont get an autozone clutch;) Thanx, Laterz, Andrew |
my experience with the Racing Beat Street/Race 4 Puck Sprung disc
and Racing Beat Street/Strip Heavy Duty Pressure Plate. I managed to destroy 3rd gear in 2 trannies in a 6 month period. and thats with only 135'ish rwhp Needless to say on the 3rd tranny install the 4 puck came out and a stocker went in, works great, but can no longer chirp going into 5th :( http://max7.rx-7.org/mynewtrannytoys.jpg |

I live in TX... Hill? huh, what's that?!? |
I think PeeJay figured out it was due to a weaker 3rd gear in the 84-85 trannies. but that was over a year ago, so my memory fails me sometimes.

the 12lb fly wheel problems are a myth. i have one in my 12turbo. it would idle just fine at 500rpm, granted not for long cause it would flood if i had the idle below 1000. i also had the street strip heavyduty disk and pressure plate. ive put over 10,000 miles of of 7 grand clutch dumps and i can still chirp 4th every once in a while. the pedal is slightly stiffer and the engaugement isnt that abrupt. for the money and a alllaround streetable clutch its sweet.

CHIRP 4HT AND 5TH...WHOA SHIT! how many hp do you have to have to do that???
