Competition Clutch Flywheel?

Hi guys. Just was browsing around importrp and found something interesting - Competition Clutch Flywheel.
The price is extremely sweet, but do any of you run this flywheel?
Price on the web is 268 and Importrp usually gives Maxima.org memers additional discount if you call in.

I'm bias about it for now, as we all know where the cheap or free cheese is at

I was more leaning towards Fidanza, as they already have set a reputation for making good stuff for our cars, but might get Competition only for the review and to see how it holds up.

Competition unit doesn't come with inserts, but with a regular surface as a stock flywheel and is 10.28lbs, also some more things from Importrp web "
  • One piece ring gear for high durability
  • Weight varies from 8 lbs. to 10 lbs. depending on application
  • Well suited for Stage 3 and up clutch kit applications
  • Stamped with 4140 plate with 2000 ton pressure at 1260 degrees
  • CNC machined and balanced to O.E. specifications
Reduced Mass = Increased Accleration
Meets and exceeds SFI 1.5"


What are you opinions guys?

I find myself skeptical. 10 lbs. for a steel flywheel, even a single mass flywheel, is extremely light for the Maxima. I am putting a JWT flywheel (made by Fidanza) in my car right now and it weighs in at 15 lbs., I don't think you could make a superior product in steel that would weigh less. I also would be leery with the one piece design. The ring gear and wear surface are replaceable on the Fidanza/JWT. I'd have to see more information. I don't see one listed on their website for our cars, can you provide a link?

+1 for Fidanza flywheel...installed on mine a couple of weeks ago. No issues whatsoever with install nor mating with non-OEM clutch.

phatboislim has the comp clutch setup...http://forums.maxima.org/7822446-post4.html...and seems to like it. PM him and see how it's held up.

Otherwise I tried web searching and it seems it's a favorite for Hondas on turbo builds.
