Sup Guys,
Anybody makes a lightened flywheel ?
got an 88 GXL Non Turbo.

Thanks in advance.

 

you're gonna need to search..but any lightweight flywheel for an fc will fit on a 88 N-T RX7. Just need the corresponding automatic counterweight.

 

yeah everyones gonna tell you to search ... so same here. j/p fidanza makes one, act ... just check mazdatrix.com and rx7.com btw welcome to the boards

 

i had the aluminum one from rx7.com for my 88gxl its spendy but very nice, reved really really fast

 

WRONG - turbo and N/A are different sizes, there are different counterweights between the series and some aftermakt flywheels (I don't know who, but I know they weren't stock) have the weights cast into them. You need to match the counterweight to the series of engine and the flywheel to the tranny. If you bought an S4 N/A flywheel and dumped it in an S5 turbo car, the starter to flywheel contact would be all fucked up to the point where you would probably sheer teeth and or destroy the starter & if by some miracle you got it started the motor itself would be out of balance which would make for a really bad day. So the answer is NO, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRY HARD TO BE MORE WRONG.

 

titanium is right...you saved me some typing...

This list gives me heartburn at times...guys, know your **** before you reply, please! We end up screwing each other with misinformation.

 

AMEN!!!!!!

*whimpers* but it's on the internet so it must be true *whimpers*

 

Thanks a lot Titatium, Actually all of you guys.

I did check for few manufacturers, such as Exedy, Fidanza, ACT,AASCO.
If I remember correctly, all listing are for turbo.

The reason I ask in this forums because, sometimes the manufacturer doesn't
even know that it will fit for diffrent apllications.

People here have somewhat similar cars, have tried it, done it and beleive it or not
know more what would fit on the car.

I did a quick search keyword "flywheel" or "Flywheel non-turbo"
and I guess I am just too lazy to read like 20 Pages of diffrent treads pertaining to flywheel. Sorry about that guys.

So If nobody makes a FW for NA, then we'll just settle for the OEM one.
Just thought that I asked , a lighten FW (After market) would be good.

The car is old I don't even know how may times the FW has been resurfaced.
Again thanks alot.

 

Mazdatrix - Really Racing Beat, and SR Motorsports offer them. I BELIEVE ACT does, don't quote me. Unless you're replace the clutch though, or have done alot ALOT of other mods, a lightweight flywheel my no be worth the time or $$.

 

Yes, the clutch would definitely be changed, thats why I am looking for a
flywheel for my freind. ( BTW it is not my car-freind).

Since you are in there might as well change everything. You don't want to do the same work twice.
I'll look it up or give them a call.
Thanks

^Damn, glad you posted that!!!

 

Fidanza makes one, assco makes one both for non turbo. Act only makes one for turbo. If its a s5 you will need a s5 auto tranny counterweight. Thanks

 

^Why is the counterweight needed?

 

i have also looked at the same companies such as act exedy fidanza but stick with something good i went with the racing beat lightened flywheel and it even comes with the counterweight needed hopefully that helps
