I am replacing my clutch and the flywheel has a bunch of cracks in it. so i ordered a light weight steel racing beat flywheel. i need a counter weight. so my question is will this XTD FLYWHEEL HEAVY DUTY COUNTER WEIGHT BALANCE 89-95 MAZDA RX7 RX-7 TURBO on ebay work for a 1990 na. my understaning is that the turbo and non turbo weights are the same. can not really afford a oem one right now. has any one used this weight or should i just go with a oem one.

 

welcome to the board.

the weight is the same - turbo vs. non-turbo for the respective Series cars.

OEM is probably best, but on the question of that particular brand, i don't know anything about them so i defer to other opinions. however, it's probably okay to use it.

 

that is what i thought they are the same. i will see if any body else has some thing to say about the brand. i will most likely get it since numerous ones have been sold. thank you for the reply

 

the chances of this XTD weight just being a re-boxed Mazda part are really high. its kind of a rotary specific part, and nobody is going to make that
used is find too, its not really a wear part

 

finally got the car back together. no issues with this weight.so if you want to save money over a oem one i would buy one of these.

 

is the rear CW the same on the FC and FD?

also that they list it as 89-95 model years too, rather than 86-95?

it doesn’t appear to be OE either, but it is quite a bit less expense (under $100 new). I know Mazda wholesale on a new FD CW is ~$160. Which I need one is why I’m asking.

the S5 and FD are the same, same weight rotors
S4 had heavier rotors and uses a different one.

if you're having the rotating assembly balanced it might not matter which one you started with

 

thanks and good point, I was thinking of the S4 rotors.

$92 shipped

just bumping this out of hope for others

seeing as how somebody just paid $150 for a used one …
