FC and FD flywheels?

m1tch · August 15, 2009, 09:28:27 PM

Hi everyone, just need to ask about this, I have an FC and I know that the clutches are different in both cars between the FC and FD, but as the engines are the same, are the flywheels the same?

yes, i have an FD flywheel in my TII eangine and gearbox as its lighter than the FC one.

Sorry, that should say, No, they are not the same, the FD is a bit lighter but are interchangeable as the rotors are the same weight in FD and FC\'s so the counter weight cast into the f/w is also the same.

Are they same for EGi\'s?

So if I bought an aftermarket FD flywheel and counterweight it would be ok? its simply because its cheaper to get an FD flywheel than an FC lol I will be getting one when my stock clutch explodes and I just have to put in my 6 puck clutch - the OEM flywheel might be lipped like Profs

Mines not a daily drive

so I might go lightweight at some point, will see what happens when it runs 13s down the strip in a few months time

yes, fd one will be fine, EGI\'s are different, they use different rotors so the counter weight is different, also clutch is smaller in an egi.

So do I need to get an FD counter weight as well? or just a lightened flywheel?
