Description:
Fidanza aluminum flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum. The material is fantastic for strength, heat dissipation and of course reduction in weight.
Features:
• Body - 6061 T6 Aluminum Tolerances machined to +/- .001 6061 T6 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 42,000 psi and a yield strength of at least 35,000 psi.
• Ring Gear - 1050 Steel / Heat Treated for durability. The gears are heated then pressed on and secured witth grade 8 button screws.
• Replaceable Friction Plates - The friction surface we use is an incredibly strong 1045 steel. The plates are milled to meet our high specifications. With these replaceable plates there is no need to replace the entire flywheel when the clutch or flywheel is at the end of it's life, saving you time and money.
• Button Screws - Grade 8 Increased security helping fasten the ring gear to the flywheel.
• Fasteners - Military grade aerospace fasteners aid in pulling heat away from the clutch face. Properly spaced for form and function.
• Stepped Dowels - Made of steel. Once the pressure plate is installed, they become locked in place. First in the industry to implement the use of stepped dowels.

Q: How do you install a flywheel?
A: We recommend professional installation since dropping the transmission or whole motor is usually needed. Once the transmission is off of the block, you can go ahead and remove your clutch setup and flywheel. Replace the factory flywheel with your aftermarket one, and re-install the clutch. (Buying a new clutch is a good idea at this point since it needs to be taken off anyway.)
Q: What does a flywheel do? Why buy a flywheel?
A: A flywheel is a component of your clutch assembly, and can make a huge difference in how your car responds when you press the gas pedal. Lightened flywheels are made out of aluminum or chromoly, which reduces the rotating mass by dramatically trimming weight as compared to your heavy factory OEM flywheel. Because the lighter flywheel has less inertia, the engine doesn't need that much torque (power) to spin the flywheel to reach the certain rpm. The result is your car's rpm will increase faster. Additionally, the reduced weight alone will give you a bump in power.
