Flywheel survey - please cote :)

I have an NA motor with MEVI (ECU coming) and the other bolt-ons. I am getting a new tranny and am wondering which flywheel you guys recommend to be the best (cost aside)?

Thanks for voting and I appreciate any opinions too.

This is all in lieu of my recent tranny woes

Fidanza = 11.xx lbs.
Unorthodox unit is like 5-7lbs.! That is WAAAAY light IMHO.

BTW. I have ONE in stock. I sold 3 in the last week.

He has fidanza flywheel for sale.

I have the fidanza flywheel in my 96 I30t 5-speed. I can't compare it to other flywheels since this is the only one I ever had, but I like it. Revs noticeably faster and seems to help acceleration in 1st gear and a little bit in 2nd. Takes a little getting used to for launching, but after 10 runs or so at the stip I got used to it.

No. As Mike pointed out, I have the Fidanza units for sale. If you want one for a MUCH better price than those links, check out my sig for information or go here.

The fidenza is the perfect flywheel. After doing lots of research too much of a weight reduction is not good. If no one believes me, contact centerforce, ACT, or any big company known for great flywheels. The fidenza is ideal flywheel for our cars. If anyone is doing a clutch swap that would be the best time to just replace the flywheel since the old metal flywheel must come off to get resurfaced. Makes complete sense, to buy a fidenza since it will cost $50 to get resurfaced. Add another $2??.00 dollars and wadaa you have a good alloy flywheel. Jeff92SE sells them at a good price.

The fidenza will pay itself off. The lighter fidenza flywheel will elongate the life of the engine, and the engine wont need so much power to spin it which is great for gas mileage. On a turbo/supercharged maxima is very beneficial to run the RPMS very fast to hit boost.

The stillen is a little heavier than the UR, but still lighter than the fidanza. Aside from the cost, wouldnt that be a better choice than both? heh.. I dunno.

What's your reasoning on that?
