Before you tell me its somewhere else just read.

On a turbo engine swap in a n/a body, leaving the n/a tranny, drive shaft, etc.
I have seen many people talk about counter weights, but I can never tell who knows what there talking about and who doesn't . From some advice I would put a n/a flywheel on my turbo s5 and n/a clutch and flywheel. And if the flywheel is after market I have to buy either auto tranny counter weight since separate, or an after market one. If I just want a stock flywheel the stock manual flywheel has counter weight in it? Okay is this right?

( I have searched and read other post on this topic)

 

you can use the stock S5 n/a flywheel to do the conversion. You cannot use the stock S4 flywheel though. Aftermarket you would need the corresponding automatic flywheel for the engine. Meaning S4 stays with S4 only and S5 with S5 only

 

Aftermarket flywheels require the auto-tranny flywheel counterweight. Stock manual-tranny flywheels have the counterweight incorporated into their design. Most aftermarket flywheel counterweights are from Mazda directly. If you plan on using an NA transmission for a Turbo engine, I would highly recommend ugrading the clutch.

 

Good luck with the build, man,

Okay It's a n/a standard Tranny. I have to upgrade clutch to prevent slippage, yes. And yes I know not to mix and match s4 and s5 do to the diff weights of rotors, and such. So... If I use n/a aftermarket flywheel I can snag a automatic counter weight since not built in, for the manual tranny. Or I need to buy a Mazda after market counter weight.

 

Thanks for luck! I'll try to keep posted on build, I just need clutch and I can start putting everything togeather!

 

I would personnally not buy all the high performance N/A stuff. It will be a waste down the road when the trans or rear blows out on you from the turbo motor.
