MAXINXS

Not sure if this is a repost, but it is quite interesting. I wonder how much faster the engine would rev with this baby.

I haven't seen it before...very cool...

MAXINXS

It weighs HALF of the stock flywheel! Shows good gains.

this might be a retarded questions, but are clutches and/or flywheels interchangeable b/w the Altima/Maxima and the 350Z/G35?

MAXINXS

The clutch I'm not sure, but I would probably say no. I know the flywheel works, but only because it has "Maxima" listed.

You mean the Fidanza flywheel?

yikes! That thing is heavy! Then again it says its 1/2 the weight of the stock unit, so I guess the stock one is 30lbs? man.

I know my stock flywheel was ~18.2lbs or so, and my Fidanza weighs 9lbs. I weighted a VQ30DE flywheel at 9.5lbs too. Still, should see some nice gains

According to Intense Motorsports, the JWT weighs 14.3lbs. vs. stock 23lbs.

Then I saw the Jun flywheel for 350Z/G35 (fits Maximas right). SGP claims it weighs 14.3 lbs. but says stock weights 27.75lbs.

Someone at the altimas.net said that the JWT clutch for 350Z will work on an altima.
So, it might work on a max as well.

Here's a flywheel from Fever Racing...never heard of 'em before. Claimed to be 13lbs...

someone count the bolt holes, i'm too lazy

They're all 8 holes

I gained about 12WHP accross the board from my Fidanza flywheel on my VQ30DE-K. Flywheel makes quite a bit of a diff on the engine, it revs up crazy fast with a UDP. RPMs drop about as fast as they do with the AC on in comparison. I once had a JUN flywheel in my SR20 and that sucker reved out crazy but it also dropped RPMs quickly too.

Chinkzilla

that's great, i hate waiting for the slow *** engine to rev up and drop rpms when i'm trying to heel/toe while roadracing

I wanna say it revs up as quickly to redline when floored from idle as lets say a LS1 or 4.6L DOHC Ford SVT V8. This is for a 00-01 3.0L thou I'm refferencing from my own car. If I where to do mods again from start- Flywheel and UDP at the same time- quiet and verry effective mod- both combined add 17WHP on a VQ-K motor. Along with a K&N panel filter and Ypipe the engine should be quiet and fun to drive around enjoying the Extra 30WHP

What I like about the flywheel is where it starts to make power, right at 3000-3500 rpms. Also, JWT has a clutch out for us too, it's just not listed yet.

Lumbee1

With a filter and exhaust, the Altima dynos 223 WHP and with JWT flywheel and HS header 246 WHP?!?!

Damn it I want it... I should have never taken that extended waranty...

These #s are legit, that same Altima makes 260WHP and its a 5spd. JWT has diff cams in testing stages, these are mild cams and 1st ones every they designed for a VQ35. They will also have diff- more aggressive cams for the 3.0L motor. From my good info, the heads are restrictive on VQ35 which hurts power output.

I personally wouldn't use any of these. I would use the Tilton flywheel, clutch combo for the 350Z that weighs 16 pounds total and has most of it's mass closer to the center because of the 7" diameter multi disc clutch.

BlackBIRDVQ

iTrader: (15)

I have not weighted my Fidanza w/ACT clutch kit- but it has to weight around 18-20lbs total which is pretty light. I did weight the flywheel on a bathroom scale and it read 10lbs. vs 23lbs stock. I even have pics of the install on my computer- as with any kind of car part install I usually take pics for people who would follow my foot steps and have a detailed install procedure memorized in my head. SR20DEN are U sure the Tilton clutch will work on a 3.5L ? I have a few 3.5L blocks avalible to me for a AWESOME price... I'm very tempted to build a 400WHP NA motor out of a 3.5L *block*.

SeaFoam2DMax

I'm a bit curious as to that as well, I may have some spare cash, and i think i want to remove some mass.

SR20DEN

iTrader: (7)

Do you mean "will it fit on the Maxima" ?

I don't know for sure.


But that has never stopped me from trying.

Triple8Sol

MSRP: $1,179.60 on the Tilton clutch/flywheel kit. Sounds awesome, but damn that's a hefty pricetag...

So can anyone confirm whether the clutch and/or flywheel is interchangeable b/w VQ35DE motors?

very interesting, and yeah I was wonderign about the fitment. hmmmm this is interesting i'm gonna have to keep track of that thread. thanks jaco!

A couple of questions for you blackbird since I am thinking about a lightened flywheel when I replace my clutch:

Did the change affect driveability at all?

Did you do any drag racing at the track - and if so, did the lightweight flywheel make it more difficult to launch your car. And, how did you launch before you got the flywheel. I don't want to hurt track performance. I normally slip the clutch from about 4000-5000 rpms to get the best times.

Do you have any dynos of your car with the flywheel?

thanks.

I can get a group deal setup for the Tilton once we prove it works.

It changed drivability for me a little bit- I'm used to driving cars that drop revs fairly quickly so when I was driving the Max, I had to shift like a grandma in order to get a smooth transition from one gear to another. Well now I am very happy with the way engine revs, I can tell ya its supper peppy, dynos don't tell the real story. I wanna say seat of the pants dyno- it feels like putting on a Ypipe and CAI at the same time. As far as launching the car, I used to launch it from around 4K RPM on slicks now I am forced to launch it from around 4700RPM in order not to bog. Its very eassy to bog the car with 4 people and AC on. All it takes is getting used to the car again- 2 days U won't even know that the flywheel is in the car anymore, and U will love the mod. On every car that I owned, flywheel was my most favorite mod to the engine.

I've been looking into getting a Fidanza Flywheel. BlackBIRDVQ - How hard was the install? Does the tranny have to be removed? If it's too involved I would have some shop install it for me. Is it best to get an upgraded clutch when you change the flywheel?

How much do you think a shop would charge for install?

Thanks

BlackBIRDVQ

iTrader: (15)

its very eassy, remove the trans, remove the pressure plate- watch out cause the clutch disk is going to fall out when U remove the pressure plate bolts. U really don't have to upgrade the clutch while doing a flywheel, but its good to put a new clutch on with the flywheel. OE- NOT KEY VALUE, is a good clutch, I am on my 2nd ACT clutch- they are very good and last long- if women don't drive the car. I seen someone get charged 1000 bux to do a clutch on a Maxima- here on the forum- MY NEW CLUTCH IS SLIPPING is the topic... I do them for 300 + parts and fluids.
