Engine fly wheels for 7afe

fly wheels for 7afe

anybody know who makes lighten flywheels that will bolt up to the 7afe motor? ive been looking and found one, but still not sure if it will fit.

heres the link to the site.

this is the website of the flywheel maker

The 93-97 corolla use a 6 bolt 212mm flywheel. Earlier models used to use a 200mm so you don't want that. And some 4AG use a 212mm but it's 8 bolt and you don't want that either.

that being said.. this might work.. just make sure the diameter is correct.

The nice thing is it is a 1 piece chromoly design so very little can go wrong as opposed to the 2 piece aluminum/steel ones that may seperate if it is manufactured incorrectly.

as for other manufacturers there is CB Haus, Jun, and Toda I believe

aitte koo thanks.

what does a lightened fly wheel do exactly and is it worth the money

i know its lighter so there is a less power loss from the engine but does it do any thing else

rev faster

which leads to faster acceleration?

slightly, maybe a tenth or two off the 0-60 and quicker throttle response. But its more helpful when you want to do some fancy footwork like rev matching and heel toe.

so then is it really worth it

i guess it is in some ways

i rev match all day, hmmm
rolla_7afe, lemme know what u get since i have a 7afe, i might be interested in this. How hard is it to install one of these

yea forsho. i just dont knoe if im gonna get it yet. u have take your tansaxle and clutch out to install one. check with cb haus and they dont carry it.

you can usually have a machine shop take the fat off the back of a stock flywheel.

you may lose driveability, though... as the flywheel stores energy... so when you are in between shifts the rpm's will reduce slowly.... if you have a lightened (or smaller) flywheel less energy can be stored and the rpm's will drop significantly faster as well.

on my 4age's I prefer using a 100% stock 200mm flywheel... in the 4age it's slightly heavier, but the less outer rotational mass actually allows it to act like a much lighter flywheel. It's a cheap alternative to spending XXX amount of dollars when you can get a resurfaced 200mm stocker for around $40.

FYI, 6 bolt 200mm aren't the same as 8 bolt 200mm's.... what I said about 200 vs 212 in the 4age does NOT apply on the 6 bolt flywheels. that being said, there's a lot that can be removed on a stock FE flywheel. Just make sure the machine shop can also true the flywheel up.

good info and good to know, but i ended up with a stock flywheel.
