Light Flywheel with stock clucth?
hey guys, im pulling my engine and getting it rebuilt. While its out i was thinking of replacing at least the flywheel, with a nice light one. Is it fine to just replace the flywheel? without replacing the clutch? All the after market ones will just bolt right up? Im thinking about the SR Flywheel.
i wont be having huge power around 350bhp. thanks guys, like always allot of help!

he might be a special member with special needs, you know the type...
what will the car be used for? just on the streets? autox? drag? these are the questions you ask yourself before buying a clutch.

AFAIK, you CAN use a lightweight flywheel with a stock clutch... however, I think it's stupid not to replace it while you are in the area. Clutch kits are very inexpensive compared to the time/labor to take them out, and you'll very likely be slipping at 350whp on the stocker. Just do the job right the first time so you don't have to worry about it for awhile.
Also, unless you're buying a brand new flywheel from a fellow member or friend, DO NOT buy it from SR Motorsport's website. I have seen too many threads that have been started because they have ripped people off. Take a look at the A.C.T. Street/Strip, it sounds about right for what you're looking for.

Yea just for the street. Thats why im going for a SR flywheel, its 9 lb's. Should be good, its not so light that i will have a tough time starting as a 7lb Flywheel would. that's for the info guys!

9 lbs, afaik, is the 2nd lightest flywheel you can buy for the FD. The only one I know of that is lighter is the 8.5 lb Fidanza. I'm currently using a 9lb ACT; it takes about a week to get used to. After that, it's all butter

350 rwhp with the corresponding torque=slipping stock clutch.
the ACT street/strip is a great choice.
A-rod is correct also, SR is a crook, search 'shane racing' and my username and you'll find all sorts of bad stuff.
A light flywheel will not cause increased wear on the clutch disc, although a 6 puck clutch *will* cause increased wear on the flywheel

Gooo info guys, thanks. A guy in the For sale section is selling a SR flywheel and clutch kit, for 450 i think im going to pick it up, its used. But should do the job, rather then paying over 850 buks.

I have a light flywheel with an oem clutch and I have no complaints. I installed the new flywheel with a brand new oem clutch kit. I daily drive my car. Getting the car moving from a stop isnt a big deal like everyone makes it out to be. I dont find myself revving the car higher than I used to with a stock flywheel.

My all steel wheel started at 14lbs and with some slots cut around the outer dia it is now 12.3 lbs .I do not have to rev to move off in first gear .The pp is from ACT and the plate is a Mazda comp race part . This seems fine on the street ,easy to take off and no slipping after more tham 60k miles .
