Thing is, being where our gearbox is, it's unlikely you'd lose your legs, more likely your passenger might cop a lump of metal in the face

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
Will all sit in BEHIND me.. lol.
So the 4G92/93 items I hear will fit, will they also require any machining?
Considering the TODA f/w and clutch kit....

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
Ok, knowledgeable peoples...
4G9x motors, the flywheel will fit 6a12, and i need the 4g9x clutch as well, due to size difference.
Now, at the other end of the motor, crank pulley, also interchangable with same motor?
Please say yes...

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
From what other people said, yes if you want to run the 8.5" 4G92 flywheel you will need to use the 4G92 clutch as well.
Are you asking if the 6A12 and 4G92 crank pulleys are interchangeable? Cannot answer that

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
Just out of curiosity, why would you want to run 4G92 flywheel & clutch? You end up having to change the starter configuration as well...
There's a shitload of good clutch gear about for the 6A12 flywheel, all the early Evo stuff fits it.

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
Ben, flywheel for 6a thru rpw is $500, can get 4g92 items for as little as $200.
Don't wanna fluff around with starter etc, though, that was never mentioned before.
How far could I go lightening the standard flywheel?

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
Not that far thanks.
So attempting to lighten the stock one at all is not advisable..
That's the hint im picking up on here...

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
I don't think it's an uncommon thing to do, but personally I never would, I value my legs too much
Bear in mind Fidanza don't make a flywheel for the FTO 6A12 Mivec engine. The RPW one is a flywheel for a different model modified to suit. I can't remember where I found the details on this but if you were to buy the flywheel and do the modifications yourself this might be cheaper (from memory there wasn't much modification required). Also bear in mind from memory the RPW one comes with a set of ARP bolts, there's $70 to $100 of the price right there.

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
F*ck, that is expensive!
I'll see if I can dig up the paperwork on mine, it certainly wasn't that expensive, RPW must have put up their prices. I paid a little over $300.
I may also have the manufacturer code from mine too, then you can go direct to one of the other Fidanza distributors like Rocket Industries.
You may also be able to order direct from the US. They may well be used in an Eclipse or something, in which case they'll be heaps cheap.

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
I'm also starting to think the whole 'modified to fit' bit is BS too..
I'll email Fidanza in the US tonight & get some specs & measurements to them. Its gotta be one off the list here, 228501 with a 7 bolt centre seems to ring a bell. Requiring longer bolts of course, as the centre plate is thicker.

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
The 9th one down..
Would that work?
For eclipse turbo, #161731
161111 is the # I have read as the one for 6a12.
That #161731 though, that's the one I can get for $200

Re: WTB: Lightweight flywheel
Wouldn't it most likely be the last Galant which says 7 bolt crank?
Considering the 2.0 was a 6A12... (though there was a 4G63 SOHC 2.0 as well)
