ACT flywheel question

So I was looking on ACT's site and the flywheels they list for the 2nd gen rx7 say Turbo, and nothing for n/a. So does anyone know if they only carry flywheels for turbo and that none of their flywheels work for the n/a's?

Also, quick counterweight question while I'm at it. The counterweight from the auto tranny rx7's are what I need with an aftermarket flywheel, right? That's if I do not buy the counterweight directly from the manufacturer. So say I'm gettin an aftermarket flywheel for an s4 n/a and they sell the counterweight separately (but expensive), would I be able to just get the counterweight off an s4 auto and be good?

s4 aut flywheel will work.. you can usually get 'em for around 30 bucks from a junk dealer on this site

I got mine from rx7store.net and it was the same pricee as what i could get it for on ebay... call them or email jason and ask him whats up with the n/a flywheels

You mean s4 auto counterweight, right?

Yah, I've emailed him, no response yet. I just thought it was weird they only had them for turbo, we n/a guys want nice light flywheels too No way I wanna pay the crazy price for the RB ones, jeez.

No they do not make them for N/A's, just TII. When I talked to them last week, they said they have no plans for an N/A even though there are far more N/A's than TII's.

Figures...

Hmmm....

Anyone have any other suggestions for flywheels then? The RB ones are really expensive compared to the price of the ACT flywheels (for example). I've also looked at the tweakit ones but they dont seem to have any teeth, which is weird. This really pisses me off, I really wanted the ACT prolite flywheel for when I did my engine removal/huge streetport/rebuild/etc. I had plans for a lot of stuff, now I have to rethink the flywheel situation.

sr motorsports sells ones for na's but you have to do a little customizing to get it to work right.. Thanks to RR for the help with that one!

What about this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

Anyone know anything about that? It says it's for 13B, not 13BT, I asked the seller about whether or not it's for n/a, but does anyone have any experience with this person/product or know anything about it? It says it's billet steel and 12 pounds, but that doesn't include the counterweight. How much does a counterweight weigh?

You could swap your drivetrain for a TII one. Then you could use the flywheel. BTW i have the streetlite on my turbo swapped gxl and its sweet.

Yah but that would be more expensive than the RB one, so what's the point in that?
