I am currently looking at purchasing a flywheel and right now I have narrowed it down to 3 options and I have included the weights of each as well as the pricing:

TRD flywheel (9.7 lbs) [ US$605 ]

C-ONE flywheel (9.9 lbs) [ US$450 ]

C-one flywheel - type R (8.8 lbs) [ US$550 ]

What I want to know is if anyone has installed any of these options in their ZZE123 Corolla and if so, did the effect of the flywheel take any getting used to?

Additionally, this flywheel will be mated to an ACT clutch assembly (heavy-duty pressure plate with a 6-pad spring-centered race disc) which I have already.

Thanks in advance.

If your already considering the Type R flywheel why not get the MWR Ultra light chromoly flywheel or the Fidanza aluminium flywheel. Both are lighter and are a fraction of the price.

Wow are you actually racing your car?

you can also opt for xtreme flywheel which is from australia. no need to wait around

they got chromoly 5.3kg/4.6kg

aluminium 3.4kg

chromoly cost around $450 i think so the aluminum probably around 500

I got the Xtreme chromoly flywheel a few years ago when i needed to get my clutch changed.

the car felt a little bit more responsive, fuel consumption seemed to go up very very slightly, but was probably me enjoying the lightweight flywheel. my fuel consumption is now back to where it used to be (maybe me driving more sedate).

From memory it was about $400 back then for the chromoly, but i didnt even look at getting an aluminium and shipping was 2 days from adelaide.

Thanks, I'll check those options out. With regards to your second question, I'm not racing my car.

The lighter it is from stock, the less inertia it has. Thus, it will affect you landing in the "Lift" power band if your shifting is too slow. If you are already having trouble of shifting within Lift zone with the stock flywheel, then you will have more difficulty with a lightened flywheel.

But if you are good at adapting and are able to learn to successfully shift a lot faster, then a lightened flywheel will be of great benefit to you.

The 6-puck clutch is reputedly stronger than the full face organic clutch and to the best of my knowledge, it's the pressure plate that impacts on drivability. ACT had two other pressure plate above the heavy-duty option, those being Extreme and Maxx Extreme and I have driven a car with the Extreme pressure plate already and that wasn't too bad.

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
