Has anybody bought this flywheel?

Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel Honda Fit 2007 1.5L SOHC VTEC (7lbs.) :: Flywheel :: Clutches/Driveline :: UltraRev, Inc.

 

Seems like I can't find any clutch made by excedy/ACT/clutchmaster yet.......

It'll be so nice to have better clutch & flywheel installed........

 

AJ racing has a clutch kit and LSD for the tranny

 

Hi, can anyone knows if fidanza flywheel GD3, will fit in a GD1 ( L13 ), thanks...

 

any trans part that would fit a l15 should fit a l13 engine.

 

Thats the only thing I was going to do.
A lightened flywheel with the OEM clutch kit. Clutch seems to hold great power and it does it well. Pedal is really soft for me, I got use to it though.

Its so weird going from my Mx-6 to the Fit. When I go to start the Fit I get prepared and mash the clutch down like its my Mx-6. It feels like I almost go through the floor. Haha!

 

If this Fidanza flywheel is 7 lbs, I would guess the stock one has to be at least 12-15 lbs. Dropping anywhere from 5-8 lbs in rotating mass would be instantly noticeable on the Fit and redline would come much much faster. Having a bone stock MT Fit it already rev's pretty freely in first and second with very little throttle input, I can imagine how much more easily it would rev with a much lighter flywheel.

 

Fidanza makes great flywheels. Lighter fly=faster revs, pretty good mod i'd recommend for a n/a application.

I'd stay far away from ACT/Exedy products. Seen plenty of their products fail in various applications.

Competition Clutch is a very solid clutch.

I bought a lightened crank pulley from a group buy (Jimmy), and it made a noticable difference while switching lane in heavy traffic. And it hardly took one hour for the installation.


I would try this flywheel from Firanza if I knew what it involves: Do I have to split the transmission (Automatic in my case) from the engine? Doing so, do I have to disamble drive shaft, homocynetic ball joint... I am not much of a mechanic and don't want to venture away from basics. If I have to pay for professionnal manpower, it adds up to the final cost!
Otherewise, I am interested with anything that incresease response at low RPM.

 

flywheels are only available on the manual transmissions.

 

Exedy makes almost every clutch disc on the market. Any and every clutch disc Ive seen, removed, or whatevered has had an Exedy brand on it.

Ive had an ACT in my Mx-6 for 5 years now. It has plenty of mileage on it, 2 different turbo set-ups and its still doesnt slip. I installed the same clutch on my PGT and its still holding fine. Its broke 2 transmissions so far. Hahaha!

Supposable the ACT clutches are bad luck on RSX's. Maybe thats where youre getting it from? My friends has an ACT though, its fine.

 

i'm pulling from Honda's, not RSX's only. Competition and CM have been solid on most, even with driver-error. It could be car differences. But with the high failure rate on RSX's, why take the chance with the Fit?

arent u on clubrsx too? lol, i thought i saw your username.

 

I realize this is a dead thread by now. But if one was opting for a turbo, could I still upgrade to a lightened flywheel and/or lightened underdrive pulley? I'm not used to turbos so I'm not sure what I can apply with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

How is that? In older American (rear drive) cars, all cars had the ringgear (for the starter gear) mounted around the flywheel, regardless of the transmission type. Of course, the trans & the engine were longitidunal with the car.
So it would different now with transversal engines... only manual trans have flywheel? Or are they simply different according to trans type?

Explanations anyone?

 

I think most all AT cars now be it FF or otherwise use a torque converter as a means to get the power from the motor to the tranny and then to the wheels. This torque converter is essentially a flywheel/clutch pack doing the job of a standard flywheel/clutch setup in a MT. Of course the L15A engines are all the same minus a few minor differences from MT to AT but most can be converted from one to another rather easily as with most other cars.

 

thats not a flywheel its a flexplate
