I need feedback on these flywheels since I'll prolly be buying one of the two fairly soon and they arent cheap. Thanks for any input.

the lighter the better, i've never heard anything bad about the unorthadox flywheel

 

I have fidanza and I like it, not too light not too heavy.
I've heard that there are problems like bogginess with the Unorthodox fly(being too light) but not 100% positive.

 

got fidenza just put it on and its great car runs smooth, no complaints so far

 

Good choice! Fidanza is the wayt o go if you want some drviability left in your max! I've already gone through two of them and wouldn't think of getting a different brand. Good show!

 

You've already gone through 2 Fidanza flywheels? Did I read that right? How long did they last? How many miles on your Max?

 

I'd be carefull about saying "lighter is better". It is only to a point. I read a thread where after you mount all the stuff needed to make an unothordox unit work, it ends up being about the same weight as a Fidanza anyway. BlackbirdVQ or something mentions this.

 

Yeah you read right. On my first Fidanza I matched ut up with the ACT Stage II clutch and I basically resurfaced the flywheel while being used. I had to go back to the OEM clutch and Fidanze flywheel for driveability issues. Bar-none the best flywheel available for the Max, as far as aftermarket ones go. I was just a little excited with the clutch/flywheel combo that I burned them both out after only 10k miles. Since than I've had no troubles what-so-ever.

 

well i have yet to hear one bad post about the unorthadox flywheel. it seems people just assume its not good without having any proof.

 

I have the Stillen flywheel, which is the same as the UR flywheel. made by the same Co. just distributed by two different Co.
My flywheel weighed right at 7 lbs, You have to use the outer ringgear from the OEM unit.
With the flywheel complete. It only weighed like 9-10 lbs. Which is much lighter then OEM, but not sure what the Fidenza weighs.

 

Fidanza is right about 11.5 to low 12lbs.

 

I just installed a Fidanza flywheel, and I weighed both the stock flywheel and the Fidanza. Stock came in at 17.3 lbs, Fidanza at 12.
