Exedy flywheels + USDM ITR starter = grindage?

 

i remember reading somthing saying that japanese flywheels work better with jdm starters and usdm flywheels work better with usdm starters.

i guess the teeth are diffrent or somthing i dont really know just trying to help

 

Some JDM flywheels seems to work with the USDM starters. Toda is one of them.

 

honestly man i dont know sorry

 

There might be a way to fix this.......I think one of the only US motors that came with a jspec starter was the 99-00 Civic Si. Either way, its a Mitsuba starter you want. I know people who ran this starter with JUN flywheel and haven't had any problems at all. But then again, there were some Integra R's and GSR that also never had problems with JUN flywheels or whatever brand. I'm running a J's Racing flywheel with the Mitsuba starter and have not had one problem at all.

 

FWIW, I run an Exedy flywheel on my USDM B16A, and I've had zero grindage issues. Setup has been on the car since Sept. 02.

HTH

 

Now the question is:

Is the Mitsuba starter backwards compatible with USDM flywheel?

 

maybe this has been discussed before, but I was not aware that JDM flywheels and USDM flywheels were different. what exactly is the difference?

 

The teef are slightly different

 

It will not grind.

I run a Toda FW and i have never had it grind once with over a year of usage so far.

Grind or no with USDM ITR starter?
