Hi
I purchased this flywheel from a member a year ago, he told me he had it installed on his NA FC, he also sold me the flywheel with a s5 counterweight.
Finally after a year, the car is in the shop getting worked on. I am also installing an ACT clutch drag/street strip, but when the mechanic was doing the flywheel/clutch today, he noticed that the pressure plate would not bolt to this flywheel. He thinks the clutch must be for a turbo application but I spoke with the seller and he had it working on his NA. So my mechanic resurfaced the stock flywheel and installed the act clutch/pressure plate. My mechanic has had 2 rx7s both were extensively modified.

The RB flywheel is designed to work with stock clutches, and the act pressure plate is designed to work with stock flywheels, so I don't see why the bolts holes would not line up.

I will go by tomorrow to compare the stock flywheel with the RB one and take pictures. Has anyone installed the act drag/street clutch with an RB aluminum flywheel?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Alex

um its either a turbo flywheel, which is bigger in diameter.

or you need the hardware kit http://mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=95368

Looks like an OS Gieken clutch plate.

Hey Alex, its me Justin did that box I sent you have the hardware kit in it? I included a picture you need the little spacers and those bolts to bolt your pressure plate and clutch . Its a little bit cheaper at http://www.racingbeat.com/RX7-1986-1...els/95368.html. I also went through my rubber maids and found the clutch, it was for sure an NA sized clutch.

Okay. It looks like I need this hardware kit. I don't have those two large black bolts. Can I reuse the stock bolts?
The stock flywheel is raised on parts of the edges, the RB is not. Do these spacers act in their place?

Thanks!

Yep, the spacers take their place.

it's a racing beat flywheel , 11inch dia for NA, 13inch dia for turbo. the flywheel is universal between series but the counterweight must match the motor.
yes i have an act 6puck spring hub on my aluminum flywheel. works good.



you cannot grind this flywheel, because you can't grind the land, which would result in major slipping. buy a new face from racingbeat, it comes with the hardware for it. then get the clutch hardware in the same shipment.
