Flywheel options for TII, which one?
So I'm shopping around for a flywheel for my S5 TII, here are some options:
1. ACT Streetlite (Chrome-Moly Steel) $349 2. ACT Prolite (Chrome-Moly Steel) $399 3. Mazdatrix Flywheel (Aluminum) $455 3. Mazdatrix Flywheel ("high-quality" Steel) $399 4. Ebay JDM Flywheel (Billet Steel) $199 5. Fidaza Flywheel (Aluminum) $350 what do you guys think? I'm more towards the ACT Streetlite for my application. Basically the car is going to be for street driving and autocross/drifting or if there is any other companies to buy from.... thank you |
Racing Beat-They have Aluminum (12 lbs) and Steel (17 lbs).
Just a matter of what you wnat. Light flywheel for daily driving not the best, but for road racing applications fantastic. |
Also, make sure those flywheel costs include the rear counterweight.

I've seen/used/installed all sorts of flywheels, so this is the voice of experience.
Stay away from a 9lb flywheel...it makes the car too finicky for city driving. It can certainly be done, but most customers who get one installed wind up disliking it. The SR motorsports flywheel requires a little grinding to work right, at least with an act PP. I've had a couple that were this way, and I think another guy on the forum did too. Perhaps it's been corrected, but I doubt it. The RB flywheels for NA's suck, and are sorta rigged up...no dowelpins for alignment of the PP, which can allow vibrations, and you use these stupid little aluminum spacers to bolt the PP on with because they didnt feel like making their flywheel properly. The turbo flywheels are said to be better. I run the act streetlite 12lb in my FD and I love it. The car drives almost like stock, but you can tell a very slight loss in low end pullout from a stop...very slight. IT is nicer on the top end, though. This is also the nicest constructed and appearing flywheel I've ever held. I'll never run another one on one of my cars, personally. |
I think I am gonna go with the ACT Streetlite, it includes the counter weight from RX7.com.

i just installed the ACT Streetlite on my car...MAN it makes all the difference, it decels very fast and revs fast too. Seeing how my engine is half bridged and running a t70 turbo, it free'd up my low end power..now feels like a stock turbo.

I just ordered the Streetlite flywheel and an ACT clutch also, Ill let you know how it goes after I receive it.

dude, those prices suck, ive seen the ACT streetlite for like $230 or so
if you dont have a auto counterweight just do yourself a favor and buy racingbeat, it includes the auto counterweight in the price. thats a $100 part that you wont find dirt cheap used. theyll still run you good money used. |
Does the ACT come with the counterweight from Corksport? That's where I ordered my clutch and flywheel for like 670 shipped..

It includes the counterweight, so I think that's why it's 349.99, with shipping its like 365, so not too bad, I already ordered it |
