sulivan whos a trader here selling exedy kits informed me that the flywheel is chromoly steel and weighs a little over 6kg which is what im looking at getting installed in the next few weeks.

exedy customer service is useless. i shot them 3 emails regarding the flywheel and hd cushion button clutch with no reply at all. maybe my questions were too hard to answer...pft

hahahha

yea im just assesing if its worth it... how much it set u back?

im lookin at the sports organic, i mean the fly wheel would be good on teh old r20 wit its poor form down low off boost, but ive herd its not worth the momeny for the verry small increase in performaqnce gains, i dont really drag race,

i am more downhill run old pac style,

cheers

yeah im not expecting much but i figured while im doing the clutch ill do that also. i dont want it too light as id still like to keep some inertia so 6kg is good for me. the shop im going to is getting it trade for me around $600 gst inc. i could be a tight ass order from nengun and save $100bucks but then id have to wait for it. dont mind paying abit more for not waiting and domestic warranty.

They are a solid one-piece forged chrome moly steel and for memory they are about 6.8kg (something around there) very good upgrade if you are looking into track/drag and also for drift.

Im pretty sure that EXEDY only make the one lightened flywheel (no other material) but i can check that out if you like (my brother is an EXEDY dealer) but it wouldn't be until Monday :happy:

(oo\__4Door__/oo) if you are just looking at one of these to help bottom end then i wouldn't bother personally. I take it you have a RB20 from your post correct??? Is it stock or mods (if so what mods) true you will notice a difference with the lightened flywheel but not enough with other upgraded other parts as well. For the money you would be better off installing a set of cam gears to help that bottom end/mid range :(

engine mods are just basic, zorst, fmic, pod wit a box, yea nahh that was i was sayin for the money u can get alot better gains, im goin to get the stocker machined, yea i like the idea of the cams ha ha, it was just wile it was down i thought id investigate, cheers thhough

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
