Is this old news? Was checking out some old performace parts websites and came across this. http://www.unorthodoxracing.com/Merc..._Code=clultraL

If that doesn't work, just go to unorthodox and look under flywheels.

 

if i had known about this i would have put it in, even though its technically not difficult to put in, just gotta pull the tranny out. id honestly be suprised if they had more than 1 in stock sitting there. only one way to find out... give them a call. they list it as 13.5 lbs, our stock flywheel cant be much more than that, i have one sitting in my parts shed.

 

Hey what's up? You do know that this is for the manual tranny. the stock flywheel on the manual is 25 lbs give or take a few andd the comptechwheel is about the same as this this one give or take a few.

 

oh ok, i was getting it mixed up with the regular flywheel that the torque converter bolts to. UR seems to make good stuff, someone should it give it a try.

 

interesting.....wonder if its applicable with the 6spd. is anyone using the comptech kit
as well?

 

I would say yes, since our 2nd gens only either comes in auto or 6speed


someone should definately rock this. how much hp and torque can the lighter flywheel gain for our cars you think?

 

on a side note: does anyone know how much a stock crank pulley weighs? i weighed the UR SS crank pulley and that weighs 1.3 lbs.

 

Think they're like 8 or 10lbs, atleast that's what I recall reading in the past.

 

8.58 pounds on my bathroom scale.

 

you serious? those OEM crank pulleys are 8.5lbs compared to UR's 1.3lbs? thats straight crazy.

now just imagine UR doing this magic with the flywheel........

 

i'm guessing there would not be as much of a difference in flywheels as the crank pulleys. i bet Acura techs might give you some shit for having OEM parts during a transmission "repair/replacement".

 

Now that you guys mention the ur pully, that brings up a question. If you remember a few years ago, allmotor destroyed a couple pressure plates with the comptech flywheel. It was later discovered that he had also changed his front pulley to a ur. It might not be a good idea to replace both items as the motor needs some dampning. I have the comptech flywheel and stock pulley up front and have had no issues.

700.00 dollars for an aluminum flywheel isn't bad when comparing it to comptechs price of 1300.00

 

interesting point about the need for some dampening ThinJim. And for less then price of a comptech flywheel, one should be able to get the flywheel/clutch kit (if or when UR makes it)

Someone should contact Mike at UR about these products. I dealt with him before, but just too lazy to email someone right now

I didn't even know about this. I will shoot UR an email to get some further info on this setup.
