I would like some thoughts about light Flywheels. I heard that the Spoon can damage the "start engine"... is that true??? Toda one is better???

I can buy Spoon / TODA / Vision .... wich one should i buy????

Thanks,

UnhuZ

 

I like Toda, but your gonna end up with alot of opinions and end up from square one asking, so which is best?.... For some reason this is gonna end up like those motor oil debates....

 

I said Mobile1 5/30 is the best oil for a ITR.

 

LOL... see starting all ready

With the subject in hand..... "TODA"

btw: I prefer castrol gtx non syn. 5w 30

 

get a comptech one.. its 6.75bls w/ a replacable surface plate.. its nice im running it ....

 

What tires should I get?

 

CAI or Icebox?

 

what springs should i get to lower my r...

TODA FW

 

Save your money for something else.

 

Toda is just nice because of the holes on the outer diameter... me like sticking screwdrivers through there.

D

 

I think 5w30 is far too light, I prefer 10w30.

 

comptech is lightest. get that!

And spoon... CALIPERS are best! woohoo!

 

The big alumiun wing with 3 setting of down force are really not rice or are they?


Edit: Comptech is fine.

comptech or fidanza, whichever is cheapest.

 

There are an abundance of available flywheels for the Type R. Among them are Toda, Spoon, Comptech, Fidanza....etc

All of them are similar to the stock flywheel except lighter. There are some people that have had problems with JDM flywheels fitting USDM starter motors - but my feeling is that they were either early renditions of products that had fit/finish issues or poor/sloppy installation. There are a greater number of people with NO problems.

I wouldn't bother with a flywheel upgrade unless you are planning to replace the clutch as well.

Choice of flywheel depends on what YOU like.

I use Spoon btw.

 

i choose the Spoon 10bl. instead of the TODA 9bl.

is becoz i'm a Spoon worm..... honestly, i think

Spoon's are not light enough. So if u are not a big

fan of SpoonSports, dont get Spoon's.

 

i would rec. a chromoly flywheel...

co-workers expirience with fidanza aluminum flywheel:

-retap all holes for pressure plate

-ring gear need to be pressed on again (wasnt properly seated)

-crank bolt holes werent aligned very well

-needed to be balanced

over all a pain in the ***....

the only complaint ive heard from chromoly flywheels was the starter/ring gear engagement...but that is easily fixed

 

Thanks.... your opinions helped my decision....TODA it is....

About the motor oil, Motul v300 or Shell Helix Ultra 5w40

 

Glad to have helped

 

I have your TODA Flywheel for sale:
$450 shipped
also have the Toda Clutch $450 shipped also.
Buy both and I will give it you for $850 shipped and I will throw in a free
Toda Tshirt and Toda Stickers.

 

you mean "engine starter"

 

Toda, Toda, Toda .........What else is better.. Nothing. Settle for nothing less......

Toda Power!

00-0187: That's right. You know, translating technical terms from Portuguese to English isn't that easy, just because Portuguese is a shity language for technical purpouses...


JeffNA, that is an interesting price...but are you aware of my whereabouts???
I live in Portugal, usually shipping prices from USA to Portugal are a robbery

but, just to let you know (not to upset you in any manner) i've a price of $350 for the TODA flywheel, includes shipping from japan... you got to agree that is a good value, right??
But if this fails, i always have your contact...ok??
thanks once again for the replys!!

If I were you, I would go with the Comptech Aluminum Flywheel.. It is the best for your money in my opinion.

 

What does the stock flywheel weight?
