Lightweight Flywheel

[Daniel2019]

After some info - is it worth it, can it be done to a standard flywheel, how much will it cost, does it give any gains and where can I get it done?

Just asking out of curiosity more than anything.

RPW do 2 types;

Aluminium:

Steel:

They're both the same weight as stock.

They're both the same weight as stock.

The aluminium one would be lighter. It doesn't say it's weight though.

[Daniel2019]

They're both 5.2kg

[Shhtuart]

They're both 5.2kg

Email them and check. Pretty sure I read on the irish FTO forums that the ally fidenza one was 3.6kg.

[Shhtuart]

Yeah. The Fidanza website has the 96 2L Galant model as weighing 8 pounds. Thats roughly 3.6kg.

[Daniel2019]

It says theyre both 5.2kg on the RPW website in the info

[Shhtuart]

No it says the application is for a 6a12 with a 5.2kg stock flywheel. I'll email and ask.

In an aid to clear up the questions on weight

(A) The Aluminium Flywheel is 3.8kg
(B) The Steel Flywheel is 5.2kg

Not sure what the weight is (Off the top of my head) of the stock flywheel but its definitly in the 5 - 7kg range

Note these are not USA Galant flywheels. Galants in the USA are equivalent to our Australian Magna vehicles with the 6G72/74 engines.

What sort of a difference do fitting these make just out of interest?
