I am thinking about the get new Flywheel for my RX8.
Since i research in the forume.
Most people choose MazdaSpeed one and Racing Beat one.
MazdaSpeed got most strong material made from, but only few pound ligher than the stock one.
Racing Beat is lighter than the MazdaSpeed one.
Which one is better? Do you guys have any other suggestion??
Does anyone use flywheel besides those two branches?
Can you guys share the experience?

 

Remember - it's not just 'weight' of the piece - it's 'where the weight IS'

 

^Indeed. That is why most people choose the MS one. All the weight is in the center, drastically reducing the rotational inertia.

 

^^ hmm... i didnt know that about the mazdaspeed flywheel.

 

Yeah, I'm going for the MS flywheel after they told me that. :D

 

Are these posts implying that the Racing Beat flywheel has more weight along the 'edge' of the flywheel opposed to the Mazdaspeed version? Is there any info about SR's flywheel?

Thanks,
Edgardo

 

... interesting ... I didn't know about this

 

I have the RB flywheel. I would suggest you go with the ACT Pro-lite one...and save your self a hundred dollars.

The nice thing about the RB one is that the friction surface is replaceable. I still think the MS one is to heavy.

 

ARG! More confusion!!

 

just get the ms one. You won't regret it, they (rb) both come around the same weight.
