I bought the Lightweight Fidanza Flywheel & Stage 1 Exedy clutch kit a while back cuz my clutch seems to be going out, will it make a difference,performance wise, after I install the kit ? (All I have in my d16 is the VAFC 2, 4-1 DC Sports, 2.5" cat-back, and short ram k&n intake)

 

big difference...only thing i recommend is when u use a lightweight flywheel...keep the oem crank pulley/harmonic balancer....with both..there is potentially too much harmonic vibration in the block...im sure others will disagree...but i like to drive the snot out of my car, and since i built the motor too..i want it to last!

 

Alright, I appreciate your comment, Im scheduled for this Saturday at the shop, whats the average I should expect to pay for both the clutch and the flywheel installation from an average tranny shop? any idea?

 

when you get this installed let us know how you like it..im probably going with the same setup. what is the weight on the fidanza flywheel?

 

This kit ****** rocks guyz!!!Totally big *** difference!!! I highly recommend it if you want to keep your RPM's high when you down shift or up!!! Response is alot better and now with my VAFC2 my v-tec kicks in a **** load of alot faster!!!


all motor d16 for now

 

Oh and the flywheel weighs 7.5lbs. fidanza

all motor d16 for now

 

nice...sounds like its worth it

Dude it totally is!!!Just raced my friends 2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged...of course he took me out but only by a car and a half, for an all motor d16...I think its totally worth it, well I see you have a B-series pic, good luck bro!!!

 

you dont have vtec.....

 

Yes I do...SOHC though, I have the d16y8 being tuned by an Apex-i VAFC2, why?

 

i hope you break it in (driving conservativly, low rpm's, no beating on it) for at least 500 miles if you want the pressure plate to seat properly

 

Yeah a friend recommended me to break it in also 500-1000 miles before beating on it, thanks for the reminder though, appreciated!
