Fidanza is proud to offer the first lightweight aluminum performance flywheel for the 2.3 DISI Mazdaspeed. Your engine will rev faster, your turbo will spool quicker, your car will accelerate faster. Add to that the ability to replace the friction surface as needed, making for cheaper maintenance than an OEM flywheel, and you have a less expensive and better-performing all-aluminum flywheel.
Heavy stock flywheels consume horsepower otherwise going to the wheels through parasitic drag and a lighter flywheel releases that power much in the same way as lighter pulleys and deleted balance shafts, but to an exponentially greater effect.
Our aluminum flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum. The material is fantastic for strength, heat dissipation and of course reduction in weight. The friction surface we use is an incredibly strong 1045 steel. The flywheel friction plates are milled to meet our high specifications. A Fidanza aluminum flywheel can mate with any type of clutch material, including organic, kevlar, ceramic, metallic and sintered iron. We attach the replaceable friction surface with military grade aerospace fasteners.
With these replaceable friction plates there is no need to replace the entire flywheel when the clutch or flywheel is at the end of its life, saving time and money. The ring gears we use are also made from 1050 steel and is heat-treated for durability. The flywheel ring gears are heated then pressed on and secured with grade 8 button screws. We were the first to utilize a stepped dowel system in most of our flywheel applications.
This doweling method ensures that once the pressure plate is installed the dowels cannot be removed because they become locked into place. No chrome-moly can compete with the awesome serviceability, strength and superior design of Fidanza's aluminum flywheels. If there was a better material out there, we would be using it.
