whats the old type-r flywheel made out of?

as I understand, the new type-r (EP3/DC5) is made out of chrome-molybdenum steel, which does give better throttle/acceleration response.
I don't think the material matters because it's all about the weight.

Low weight flywheels are a pain for a daily driver, but some do live with it.

as to why.. I think those that are using them now can better explain.

shiroitenshi:

what I meant is, that the chrome-molybdenum steel flywheel is supposedly lighter than the standard flywheel.

but having used it for a while, i don't really have any complaints about it.

....... what issues arise from a lightened flywheel for the daily driver?

ligthened flywheel=less mass 2 rotate/move=better throttle response...

problem 4 daily driver=hafta rev slightly higher whn moving in stop go traffic.....rpm will drop faster n haf less torque during uphill climb......

my friend have one in his shop half cut. actually any performance different if compare to type r lsd? both 1-way right?[/QUOTE

One way.. maybe.. they're both helicals, but perhaps the R version is made stronger, hence the mounts are different.

Well the thing about LSDs are if someone has it.. it's usually only one unit, and since the thing runs on gears, god knows how worn it is already, after all, it's the inside gears that matter.

But 2.6-3.8K for new lsd.. hmm hard choice.. I could simply get a type R gearbox with that.. the lsd may or may not be worn.. but I get the ratios as well.

Enthusiast,
well,its still kinda subjective ler...coz most ppl i know dat uses Type R flywheel(ard 8kg,is it?or 5.xxkg,can't remember) and SPOON/VISION(4.3kg) sed its liveable.....once u get used 2 it,thn no problem..not dat hard 2 drive even in stop go traffic.its only whn u add in those super heavy duty clutch like OGURA or OS Giken(hattech-v KNOWS best!hheheheh)....thn u got a problem..hehehe

Malaysian rotary nuts pay respects to the auspicious 7/7, where RX-7s everywhere congregate while they share their wankel experience. It all started in Japan, when RX-7 fanatics decided to gather at the Daikoku Futo car park in Tokyo.

Nothing much has changed apart from the increasing number of faithful attendees at the exact July 7th annually.
