TODA or Fidanza Flywheel?
Well I have a Fidanza 7.5lbs aluminum flywheel right now, but with my swap that is coming soon it comes with a TODA flywheel... Just wondeing which one you guys think I should keep, and which one should I sell....
Btw, this is on a 95 JDM GSR motor , and it will have Skunk 2 Stage 2 cams and valvetrain... if this makes a difference in your decisions...
Please, not posts saying "Sell the TODA, then sell it to me
" or anything like that

Re: (baonest)
Yeah I know it's a bit heavier.. but where the weight is taken off matters, heavier might be better for my application, just looking for some opinions... I know the Fianza has the replacable Surface and the Toda doesnt.... Toda is Chromoly...

OT: interesting people have mentioned that the toda flywheel was a better choice than the spoon flywheel (which I have) but it sounds like the toda cannot be RE-Surfaced? Does the same go for a spoon flywheel?

You can resurface/clean the surface. Just warn your machinist that it's a chromoly flywheel.
If I actually keep the car long enough to justify a clutch replacement, I'm not going to even bother with a resurfacing. I'm just going to slap on the new disc/pressure plate and call it a day.

Yeah but doesnt that **** up the new pressure plate by not resurfacing the flywheel. Or at least kill the life of the new clutch?
note - dude im sorry I thread jacked!

why would anyone ever think lighter flywheels mean less torque?

'cos there was a theory travelling the world that more flywheel mass created momentum and therefore torque... haven't seen it proved yet!
I say keep the fidanza because as stated you may get more $$$ for a 2nd hand toda fw.
