What clutch and flywheel would everyone recommend for me? I have the greddy turbo kit on my 8 pushing around 7psi right now and I have to replace the clutch b/c it's going out on me. So I'm taking this time to change the flywheel too. Anything else that I need besides the clutch kit, flywheel, and counterweight?

ACT for both. Thats what I'm going for before year's end.

 

I went ACT Prolite for the Flywheel & Mazdapeed Clutch

 

Which one of the ACT clutches should i get? Is there anyone on the forum that sells the combo for cheap? Were on the net can I get these for a good price ?

Jamie

 

I am going through this as well. The stock clutch is great, but wasn't designed for increase in power.
Suggestions please

 

Anymore info

Moostafa29 is right on. I have ACT components (see below). I got them from Jason at rx8store.net in a package deal. Check out the web site or give him a call.

Yeah, ACT is a nice unit. I got the Centerforce unit (pressure plate & disc) over at Mazdatrix.

 

Ok first off, do I need the counterweight or do I just use the stock one? DPE now has them on the website for $670 shipped (ACT clutch and flywheel).

I think the one at rx7.com comes with everything. You may wanna check to see if that deal includes the counterweight, because it seems pretty damn cheap. If it does include everything, please let me know so I can get a pair too!

 

I checked out the deal on their website, and for the flywheel it says to reuse the oem counterweight. Can anyone confirm?

 

There is no counter weight on a stock flywheel! So you need to get a auto counter weight .

 

on rx7.com it says for the ACT Flywheel...
"Note: Includes appropriate counterweight and hardware."

 

forgot to check this thread in a bit. BigOLundh is correct. the package deal includes everything. let me repeat that, everything... lol. :P

So you have to have the counterweight and there isn't a factory one?

Jamie

 

Yeah, sorry about the info on our site. I was a bit misguided by one of the flywheel manufacturers into believing the RX-8 does have a counterweight on the flywheel. I fault only myself though, for incorrect interpretation. The OEM flywheel is counterweighted, but meaning the weight is integrated into the flywheel (ie. not removable). I'll be changing the site very soon, and updating the prices WITH the appropriate counterweight.

Again, we apologize for creating any confusion on this; it'll be squared away shortly.

And BTW, the counterweight from ACT (a Mazda counterweight that ACT machines to work with their flywheels) isn't exactly cheap at a retail price of $168, but I should be able to knock off some of that in the flywheel and clutch/flywheel package prices.

 

Okay, site now updated with the correct info. Prices rose accordingly of course, but I tried to keep them down as much as possible. You can check it out here:

Looks like you beat me to, lol.
