is an aluminum flywheel good for only the strip/ track and not for the street. someone at revhard told me not to get one because it's not balanced for my engine and that it would wear out my engine/tranny sooner, since my car is street driven. anybody have an opinion on the clutchmasters aluminum flywheel? thanks.

 

I wish I had not replaced my stock flywheel with a aluminium one. Aluminium can not transfer the generated heat as quick like a common steel fw. My tuner warned me, but I did not believe to him. A few years ago they used alu flyw in there rallycars and they had shiffting problems, cause the clutch did´nt release 100% because the flywheel was not *straight* anymore.

My Fidanza goes out. In stop and go traffic it is terrible too.

 

I would look into chromemoly steel. Makers like toda, spoon, jun, zex, exedy make these. I looked into these but dunno which to get for a FI application. Does any1 know which is the best to choose?? I was thinking about either Zex or Exedy or jun since they are not as light as the toda and spoon. Any recommendations??

 

5k mi on my fidanza and no problems yet...

 

i had a fidonza flywheel, and jackson clutch on my N/S setup, the gripped fin but it was kind of a bear in traffic, the clutch is goin out alread with 20,000 on it, racing on it to yes, but i dont care i just purchased a clutchmasters stage 4 and a jun unltralight comoly flywheel and got it balanced with the motor soo, yes itsa sacrifice for street driving but you make comprimises

 

wel then theres something else that comes up for you.....the jun ultralight flywheel is rated for 350 hp, im not planing on higher than that, cause it has a tendancy for shattering with more horespower.....if the spoon and exredy flywheel are lighter make sure they can handle your horsepower, cause you dont want a flywheel disintigrating in your tranny, that would ruin your day
