2G Fidanza flywheel don't fit

[97awd-turbo]

Hi,
I bought this from a member on here stating it was for a 7 bolt awd dsm. When replacing the clutch I realized it won't fit. Can anyone help me verify what this can be for or can it be that the company's fault? (He claims he called the company and they confirmed its for a 2g awd turbo) Pics shown below. The arp bolts I bought from him only have 1 1/2 thread left when in place as well. It will fit my oem flywheel with plenty of threads to tightened however. Please let me know if there are other pics you need to see or measurements. Thank you in advance.

What doesn't fit about it? It looks correct to me.
And studs on the flywheel, do you mean bolts? Perhaps you got auto flex plate bolts?

"MIT3" indicates it's part number 161731, and by the catalog that's for a 7-bolt AWD 4G63. I'm not sure what to tell you there.

Yea I mean bolts. But the holes aren't lining up. That's what's not fitting. The first two pics is the flywheel against block

Seems all your holes have different gaps between them

I ordered a fidanza flywheel from extremepsi last night. Will wait for it to get here and see how it goes. For now just carious as to why it's like this. Size is right for awd and it has 7 holes so I'm just lost..

 

[ThunderChild]

It's possible the holes were mis-drilled, but id rotate it around hole-by-hole and see if it lines up. The holes aren't equidistant on the flywheels, so it only fits one way.

There should be a dowel pin in the crank to line it up. I had to make a spacer for my fidanza flywheel to go between it and the ARP bolts. They bottomed out before they tightened down. IIRC ARP doesn't make flywheel bolts specifically for DSMs, you get their Supra flywheel bolts.

Yeah I lined it up already and the first hole to the left is lined up but the rest is getting father and father apart. I didn't know arp not making dsm flywheel bolts but I got it from the same guy so Im guessing that's what he got

Find the dowel and line that up. Use stock bolts.

 

[97awd-turbo]

Dowel pins is lined up

Have anyone had a bad flywheel that didn't fit? I emailed fidanza and trying to solve this. I'm really trying to see what this wheel is for or if they screwed up.

 

[97awd-turbo]

I will be using the stock bolts though just to be sure now after all this.

 

[spyderdrifter]

I've never had this problem. I've had 3 different Fidanza flywheels (7 bolt awd, 6 bolt awd, & 6 bolt fwd) and they always lined up on the dowel pin. This seems kind of odd to me.

 

[pauleyman]

Set this wheel on top of the old one and compare patterns. It seems very unlikely that its wrong.

Im also curious why you said the arp bolts only have a thread or two left. Thats clearly not the case in the pics above.

The pic above shows only 1-2 threads left. Flywheel bolts* new pics with stock bolts and still the same.

I completely understand that fidanza making a mistake is on the low chances. Yet I never know. Just don't want to point figure at the person I got this from at the same time before I verify with fidanza. New pics with dowel pins in place tighten and centered with oem 7 bolt flywheel. Pics show moved to one side to the other. Obviously don't match...

your pic doesn't show the mating surface. The mating surface is behind that lip. You have alot more than a few threads left for either bolt.

forget the dowel pin and just try spinning it to a new position. Maybe the dowel pin was drilled in the wrong location.

Ok I understand what your saying now;however the lip on the flywheel won't fit the crank either

Wrong CRANK???

Wrong CRANK???

Factory crank. Bought car bone stock and had clutch and flywheel replaced with oem from dealership in 2012 when I was in college. Done at 90k now I'm at 103k

 

[panda92talon]

Maybe a 3g flywheel. Ive seen the 3g v6 crank have offset holes like that

 

[pauleyman]

If that doesn't fit over the crank it's the wrong flywheel
