im finally converting my car and now i only need a few last parts. im getting my B000 tranny this week and need a new flywheel and clutch. thinking of the exedy stuff but would anything else give more bang for the buck? i got a d15b to throw in. like do i even need certain lb flywheel. any setups out there making any difference?

 

if your only using a d15b use the stock flywheel and on oem or stage 1 clutch. You're not going to need much holding power for that motor unless your boosting.

First you establish short and long term power goals, and then you will know exactly what clutch kit + flywheel you need.

 

i was thinking of gettin the stage 1 exedy clutch (oem stock)and the fidanza 8.5 flywheel combo on ebay... cause im keeping her all motor with plans for FI next year... i mean for the extra 40$ i might as well get the lightened fly.

 

your driveability is going to suck with that light of a flywheel, so think about it before you do it.

 

really, does anyone suggest an aftermarket flywheel. do i even need a lightweight flywheel for a d15b?

 

I'm running a Stage 3 XTD Cltuch with a stage 4 Flywheel on a Stock d16z6. Yes i know XTD sucks or so everyone says.. Works for now, and it's working fine 10k miles into it. I plan on running that setup untill after boosted and untill the clutch goes out.. then i'll put in something top doller. Just my 2 cents.

 

If you are planning to get a stage 1 clutch I suggest use the stock flywheel.

 

Yea just get your stock flywheel resurface.

 

Stages are NOT arbitrary. They are marketing methods for products. Stage 1 on clutchmasters and stage 1 on exedy are VERY different.

Read about clutch disc MATERIAL, and different types. Puck, full face, sprung, un-sprung. Then, choose the Pressure plate by the TORQUE it applies, instead of pretty colors and amazing stories.

Getting TOO much clutch is VERY common.
