What
Will An Aluminum Flywheel Do For Me?
For your dollar an aluminum
flywheel is the best performance increase you can make to your street
or race car.
Using a lightweight, aluminum flywheel is a race proven way to improve
the performance of any street or race car. Aluminum flywheels have
been used for many years by the world's most elite cars to improve
both useable horsepower and extend engine life.
An aluminum flywheel is much lighter than obsolete and heavy factory
flywheels. Standard flywheels on most vehicles weight about 23lbs!. The Fidanza aluminum flywheel,
for most performance applications, weighs just 9lbs!!! That is a
typical savings
of 13lbs of rotating weight spinning at crank rpms (higher then wheel
rpm).
A lighter flywheel means less rotating mass. What does that mean
for you? It means more useable horsepower - MUCH MORE! Below is
a graph indicating for equivalent weight savings. In first gear,
installing an aluminum flywheel on your car is like removing 226 lbs
of weight from your car (calculation below is based on gear ratio and stock vs. Fidanza flywheel weight for 2.5L Probe GT,
but will be very similar for Protege and other models)!!! Even in second
gear, weight savings is 70lbs! That's equivalent to removing
both of your front seats! In order to calculate the equivalent
weight of a flywheel:
Equivalent weight = 0.5*(flywheel weight)*[(flywheel radius*gear ratio*final drive ratio)/(tire radius)]^2
The Fidanza
facility boasts one of the world's most modern dynomometers. Engineers
have tested and retested their aluminum flywheels to help your car get
more horsepower back to the wheels where it belongs.
Engine life is also increased by using a Fidanza Flywheel. Since our
flywheel is so much lighter there is much less stress on the main
bearings.
Lastly, there is no need to resurface the flywheel. Simply replace the bolt-on steel friction surface!
