The stock flywheel was designed with extra weight to make daily stop and go driving as easy as possible. The disadvantage of this weight is that your engine has to use more power to accelerate the flywheel which causes slower revs and an elastic feeling when engaging the clutch. If you’re building your car for higher performance, a Bönez Lightweight flywheel will allow the engine to accelerate quicker with more power getting transferred to the asphalt. For comparison purposes, the stock flywheel weighs over 20lbs, our Chromoly units weigh much less.

 

Bönez Light Steel FlywheelOur most popular flywheel for the non-turbo FCs. Lightening up the flywheel does so many things for the car. Better engine response, smoother power, easier shifting, more power to the ground to mention a few. The lightweight steel still has enough mass for easy everyday stop and go driving but still snappy for those weekend track events. This flywheel weighs 10.65lb and really transforms the car.
Note: Includes necessary installation hardware but requires counterweight (sold separately, see below).

Rear Counterweight A rear counterweight is required when upgrading to a performance flywheel. There are two counterweights to match the different year model engines of the second generation Rx7. The counterweight needs to be matched to the correct year of engine, not the year of car that the engine is getting installed into (They can be different when doing an engine swap). These counterweights work with all the flywheel options that we offer.
