cntt Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I saw something about not to change the pullies and something about flywheel here I'm going to do a 5spd to 6spd upgrade, and while I at that, I'm thinking I get a Fandanza lighten flywheel and lighten pullies plus a stage 2 clutch. is there anything I need to look out for before doing so?

Lucifer Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 NO not at all, just make sure you use branded parts or you will regret it. Also maek sure you change the flywheel bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I agree with Martin, you don't need to 'upgrade' any parts unless you are making a serious power upgrade. New flywheel, clutch, release bearing and bolts are obvisouly essential. Ayone know if the slave cylinder volume & throw are different? How about the fork? If you want to make the car handle properly you WILL need an LSD diff though... If fast I'd change this before the transmission if drivability is your aim...

cntt Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 oh yea I be doing the LSD at the same time as well so Fandanza be good for it then? I be getting all very well branded parts, its not a car you want to be cheap with and its no point using cheap parts when modding it duno about slave cylinder volume & throw are different or the fork either?but I'm going to get the Stillway sequential adapter as well, if I find out where to buy one from that is or can I get it with the gearbox together I want to get it all ready first before the turbo upgrade, thinking I will get the PHR stage 2.

Homer Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 so Fandanza be good for it then? Depends, which product do you refer to and what are your aims for the car? There's no way I'd have a lightweight flywheel. Are you going for one? You mention one of the mainstream manf. of them so I guess someone has recommended it? If so what type of clutch are going for (Martin will know where this is heading ) Aftermarket does not mean better, no disrespect to Martin but do some research on parts before buying things blind.

cntt Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I like fandanza because I used their lighten flywheels on every cars I've worked on and never had any problems with them, as for other parts, I am still doing research on what to go for! what I want to do is to have everything set up and ready so I can get the best performance and handling when I get the PHR stage 2 turbo kit fitted, get the best out of everything really, including weight reduction on everything as well as corbon fiiber doors and wings this and that, the whole lot.

Jake Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 What is fandanza? Do you mean Fidanza? Edit: Googled it.... Fandanza ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Fitting a lightened flywheel will help with response, but the payoff is that it WILL be noisy ie. rattle at tickover and increased transmission noise. As Homer says it really depends on your aims. I would personally go for a lightened steel flywheel, such as the TRD, Exedy, etc. I don't know the Fidanza products, but most aftermarket flywheels are aluminium. If I can help with the supply of any parts, please drop me a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
