i was woundering if the factory would do this.
yestarday i was putting a new clutch and lighten flywheel in my new b16, but when i open the clutch housing there was a stock clutch but the flywheel was a TODA racing 8 pounder. thats a 450 $ flywheel did honda do this to lsd b16a1 or is this just something that some one put in later. any ways just thought that was cool and did know if honda did that or not.

 

yeah someone did that later...no way honda would install that garbage in there..

 

you lucky ...

 

YA BUT there aways a but i have a fidanza flywheel that weighs 7.5lbs, plus its alumiun so i displaces the heat better and the face where the clutch disc sit can be change. u can't do that to a TODA, so i think i'm just going to sale it.

 

there is no such thing as a JDM b16a1. if you have a b16a1 its from europe, if its JDM its a B16A.

its called them being n00bs. and FYI the euro B16a1 has about 150hp.

 

there are alot of variables as to why the fidanza flywheel wouldnt be as good as the toda racing flywheel. aluminum warps, its a 2 piece design instead of one. isnt good for high rev

also the kinda clutch you have determines the type of wear on the face on the flywheel... like puck=harsh kevlar=soft

 

those were my thoughts at first that why i didn't want the fidanza, i thought it might warp but i didn't have the money to buy a act, toda or exedy but when i found the toda i was going to use it but i need to be resurfaced bad! and then there the weigh difference.

 

Someone did that Honda wouldn't put somthing nice in a b16.

8lb flywheels rock

 

well with the fidanza you have to worry about the aluminum warping and since it uses the replaceable face you take a chance that the face will wear out quicker, esp if you are running a puck clutch or sumthing with a harsh material as the friction surface

and lighter isnt always better 7.5 to 8lbs isnt that much of a difference at all nothing that you will notice considering the flywheels are alrerady more than half the weight of a oem flywheel. and depending on your application lighter may not be better. could make daily driving harder dependingo n the clutch and all that

i would forget about the fidanza all together and just resurface the flywheel u got, its not that expendsive

i is lost

 

Aftermarket part on an imported motor? I wouldn't want that engine, you know it's been beaten on.

 

its one part, the clutch is a stock clutch not worn very much, the flywheel is just lightened. so if you order a motor and it had header or even mugen valve cover u wouldn't use the motor.

the motors for japan that like the top brand, so you know it was taken car of

apparently you have never been to japan. tsk tsk.

 

and u have? so what the rest of the the motor is stock so ill take my chances with this one, besides the oils good, the spark plugs are good and the compression in good, and all the parts are in perfect condition. beside any one can drive a motor hard. even some kid that does even know what hes talking about, like petal goes to the floor to go faster. my ex girl friend had no clue how a motor worked but she knew that foot to the floor= speed. plus that flywheel lets me know that the person who had it took good care of it.

yes, i have AND i am moving to japan in september. so you really dont know, and i dont recommend saying that just because something has a mugen header and a mugen valve cover that it was taken care of. chances are it WASNT, and if you knew anything about how strict vehicle registration laws in japan are, you really would not be making a statement like that.

 

no what i'm saying is that the motor is in perfect conditions, the only thing wierd is the flywheel. and what i was saying about the valve cover, i meant if you got a motor that had a mugen u would trash it. just cause its not stock. thats a big waste of money. now if there was something wrong with the motor i wouldn't put it in but theres not. and its not like i wanted the flywheel, it was just there so i'm dealing with it, yes i would have been happy if it wasn't there. and i'm not about to start crying about it and have the company send another swap over a flywheel that would be stupid.

anyway have fun in Japan

no, if the motor had that **** on it, i would take off the modded ****, keep it and sell the motor as is.

 

this is true a modified motor does run the risk of being beater before hand but you can do compression checks leakdown test to make sure its all good, no real reason to assume sumthing and trash it. just check it all out before adssuming anything

can u not read i said (if) as in example. the only thing i said that came with the motor was the flywheel. the rest is stock. i used the header and valve cover as an example. i see one aftermarket part and the rest of the motor is perfect. and if this motor came to your house and u found the toda flywheel u'd probbly said hell ya look at that. plus need the car to run so i can drive it. and a flywheel not going to stop me if i see that everything is perfectly fine.
