Same flywheel used on 2nd gen turbo and 3rd gen. This is for a 5.5 inch clutch but they have one for 4.5 also. Flywheel, two disc clutch, and counterweight, total 13.5 lbs. Flywheel is made by fidanza, came in a fidanza box. I need to buy a winch now for loading and unloading.

I'll see your flywheel and raise you an ultra-high flow metal cat converter rated for 400 hp :hahano: not only can I drive it onto the trailer, I can pass an emission test and it weighs 4.5 lbs too :lol: probably cost more though :uhh:

Very nice indeed.

Caution street car owners. If you by one of these with a single or twin disc 5.5 or 4.5 please expect to smell clutch frequently and replace your clutch often. The 4.5 and 5.5 are NOT street products. So you think you're cool and better than the next guy and can drive one? Good luck.

Have you ever watched the NASCAR and Grand-Am Rolex guys leave pit lane? Have you ever seen them lite up the rear ends? Why don't they just leave their pit box like the local grocery store parking lot space? Because you can't. You have to give that baby some juice and pop that clutch. These type of products are why people push cars through the race car paddock or winch their race cars on to their trailers (as opposed to driving them). These products are not designed to handle stop and go traffic, suburban malls and traffic lights.

Awesome products but definitely fall into the "race only" category.

Sorry for the thread jack. Mr. Educator just wants to help everyone avoid unwanted maintenance issues and un needed expenditures.

Happy rotoring
