Anyone have any experience with this?

 

I have an ACT flywheel, which is similar but has the key difference of being made of 1-piece steel rather than aluminum bonded to a friction plate like the Fidanza.

What is it that you want to know?

 

Was just wondering on the real world driving experience gains of a lighter flywheel.

 

I like your rims.

 

Mine is about the same weight as the Fidanza (8 for the Fidanza vs. 8.6 for the ACT) so I can give you a review of the ACT. I didn't notice any significant horsepower increase in gear (possibly some in 1st gear, but it's hard to say). Another thing that I didn't notice that some people comment on is the car being harder to drive from a stop. It took me about 10 minutes of driving to get accustomed to the slightly more grabby clutch engagement, and now I actually find it easier to get away from a stop than I did with the stock flywheel because it now grabs better.

Now for the main positives: The car IS faster in my opinion because I can now shift smoothly much, much faster. With the stock AP2 flywheel, I had to "pause" during each shift in order to wait for the revs to drop enough to smoothly re-engage the clutch. Now I can shift as fast as possible and the timing of the engagement will be perfect. It is also much easier to rev-match on downshifts now because I don't have to blip the throttle nearly as much to get the revs up to where I need them. And if I don't get the revs perfectly where they should be, the clutch doesn't have to work as hard to get the engine's revs in line with the drivetrain.

Personally I'd recommend the ACT over the Fidanza because I don't like the idea of a flywheel spinning at thousands of RPMs that is riveted together rather than one piece, but that's up to you.

Thanks for the wheel comment

 

i had mine one for about 20K miles now and no problems. the revs do drop quicker now. i got used to it pretty quick. my room mate has a bone stock s2k and he said it is kinda hard to get used to. i also upgraded to act hd ss. so that could have been another issue with him. i like it. i like the way it grabs easier/harder. i just wish driving around town wasnt like going to a gym and working out my leg. lol but just from the flywheel, rev match is so much easier. blimp the throttle and your good to go. quick shifts are so much better in that there is no delay time.

but this is all relative for ap2. if u have an ap1 then there really isn't a point to a lighter flywheel.

 

I've got an AP2 and settled on a 14lb AP1 stock flywheel. It was a good tradeoff between the 8 and 22lb extremes. Revs still drop A LOT compared with the stock piece, and rev up much quicker as well. I picked one up for $40 shipped on here used.
