Aftermarket Flywheel and counterweight compatibility questions

[Max777]

how is that a problem? it only drops it too "quickly" if you are going at it at redline, and then do like, a heel-toe downshift going into a turn.

Otherwise, i really dont see it as a problem, but perhaps it's just because I havent driven with one. My friend is getting a Fidanza and an ACT clutch installed in a week, so I can update you with what he tells me about it.

He's also going to be racing his car at Miller Motorsports Park, so I can give you an update on the car's racing behaviour as well.

His ride is NA through, are you getting it for the TII or the NA?

As for the counterweight question: Racing beat started to make their own counterweights because Mazda stopped producing the damn things... so they are exaclty the same as the stock unit, just a little better made. They should fit ANY aftermarket flywheel.

On the flywheel, you need to worry about the NA/TII because of how it matches to the clutch.

On the counterweight, you only need to worry about S4 and S5 Turbo or N/A doesnt matter.

The thing is, they didnt make Turbo automatic FC's, so that leads me to believe that you can use an N/A engine counterwieght with a turbo car as well withought balancing problems.

They did. Just not in the US My j-spec came with a counterweight as well as a flexplate.

dude your talking to me like i can't tell the difference between an n/a flywheel and a turbo one, i know this stuff already >_> i was only unsure of the compatibility between aftermarket parts and whether or not the counterweights where standardized across the board or not. I've done my clutch/tranny 4 times in my n/a >_>, my post count doesn't reflect my knowledge (at this point) i only post when i can't find something
