ebay flywheel, or stock?

[compression]

i have an xtd flywheel , its drilled and slotted. or a stock older flywheel to choose from, the xtd is 11.5 lbs both need to be resurfaced, ( just hit it with a sanding disc or whatever ) Could i use the xtd flywheel? or should i absolutely avoid it?

it looks like you have a lot of work done to your motor. why would you go with a ebay or stock flywheel? if you went that far you might as well go all out but im sure you can make it by on the stock flywheel.

Money my friend, money.

I would just get the stock one resurfaced, that Ebay one looks very strange to me. Slotted and dimpled is for brake rotors IMO. But I also wouldn't resurface it yourself, I would take it to a shop and have it resurfaced and have the step height adjusted to whatever clutch your using.

We all know how tight the budget can get, but cheaping out on the clutch is just asking for a date with the engine hoist or trans jack.

the stock one was resurfaced and balanced, but its been sitting for quite some time, has surface rust on it.

 

[WES_393]

The I'd just clean it up with some WD40 and very light grit sandpaper. The get the step height checked.

alright then, thats what i thought i was going to have to do anyhow.

you dont know how stock headlights are wired do you? haha.

 

[WES_393]

No clue. I'd offer to take some pics, but I doubt the 1ga headlight wiring is even close to that of a 2g.

If you're gonna attempt to mess with the surface, it should be lapped on a surface plate, or at very least a pane of glass thats not very old.

I've never seen a drilled a slotted flywheel before. I have wondered about it however .

 

[TSITurbo95]

^ Me either. But I would run the stocker, why chance it with an ebay flywheel, when the stocker is perfectly fine?

oem son ftw,, sweet jdm flywheel.

alright then, this clutch/flywheel has only about 200 miles on it, but i broke my trans twice, stuck in third gear. Ever try to take off from a green light in third gear? from a stop?.. im sure thats how i smoked the clutch.

Eww, that clutch is nasty!!

I too vote OEM. The cost and driveablilty of the OEM flywheel is very appealing to me

You could clean up the stock flywheel by having it lightly bead blasted, it won't remove anything but the rust. I wouldn't even consider using that clutch disk though.

 

[bryanwheat]

A wire wheel on a drill will work perfectly fine to remove the surface rust.

I say stock as well. I would use the method Wes said. WD40 and light grit sand paper.

 

[compression]

a little light grit sand paper and touched up with little round brown disc on 1/4 die grinder. didnt removed any material just took off the rust, barely. im going to make sure its all gone before i put it on, clutch didnt ship out until yesterday so a few more days still to wait
