Lightweight alloy flywheels aren’t usually associated with four-wheel-drive SUVs. Traditionally, the thinking was that a 4×4 needs the momentum of a heavy flywheel to keep the engine running when the going gets tough. However modern 4×4 vehicles are designed for comfortable cruising on the highway as well as optimum off road performance, so the old rules no longer apply – providing you get the design right.
Fidanza Performance doesn’t just take a stock flywheel and reproduce it in aluminum as do some others. Fidanza’s technicians carefully analyze the originals and engineer improvements where needed; whether it be in overall balance, critical clearances or improved design.
Fidanza’s flywheels are machined from the highest quality 6061 T6 or 2024 T3 aluminum. Each flywheel is manufactured to deliver optimum tensile strength, heat dissipation and weight reduction, without becoming too light which causes poor idle and driving issues – this can easily happen with an ultra-lightweight flywheel. Thus, Fidanza lightweight flywheels aren’t always the lightest on the market, but they are the best when it comes to getting the job done!
These lightweight flywheels will free additional horsepower, provide faster throttle response and (because they are 40-60 percent lighter than stock) facilitate quicker acceleration.
Other benefits include optimal clutch grip and long life thanks to a heat treated friction plate and military spec. fasteners that ensure reliability and strength. Furthermore, the heat treated friction plate is replaceable so when it finally comes to the end of its long service life you won’t have to buy a complete new flywheel!
