Question does lightweight steel flywheel fit...?

i bought a lightweight steel flywheel for a jdm engine i bought for my 87 turbo2. the engine was an automatic and came with auto trans. so instead of removing the front cover and changing the front counterweight i decided to just buy a different flywheel. i know that the rotors must match the counterweights for a balancing assembly, but can i use this flywheel in any other application? can i use this in an n/a car with an automatic engine. can i use high compression rotors with automatic counterweights with this flywheel? any help is appreciated. thanks.

the NA and T2 flywheels are different diameters so they must be used with the corresponding transmission. for counterweights, make sure the series matches. it seems like the same counterweights get used within the series between NA's and T2's.

No, you cannot use it for an NA, unless you swap over to a turbo pressure plate (and keep the NA clutch disc).
Turbo PP versus NA PP are two different beasts and are not interchangeable.
