Girorostar Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Good day everyone I'm planning on buying a new ACT clutch kit for my r33 and thought why not buy a lightweight flywheel as well. I was talking with a friend of mine about it and he asked me if i'm not gonna buy counterweight for it. I have never heard of anything about counterweight on RB's before and I've searched this site and google but couldnt find anything. Do i have to buy any counterweight? and if so where can i find one? FYI my friend has a FD rx7. I have found plenty of counterweight on google for rotories so i thought that is something only rotories need but i'm asking here just to be 100% sure before buying the flywheel. Thanks in advance.

MrStabby Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 IIRC counterweighted flywheels are used with engines who's cranks arent fully counterweighted, so its just a different design where the crank/flywheel combo is balanced even though the components arent. The counterweight is just meat in the flywheel its not a separate piece. RB cranks are fully balanced so the there's no counterweighting on the flywheel. All AFAIK - i'm no expert.

T04GTR Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 i believe your friend may be refering to a a aftermarket balancer. or harmonic balancer/damper.
