Euro - Headers or Pulleys?

[tony1234]

Does anyone know if there is a heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel combo available that is specifically for the
euro instead of having to go for the DC5 setup?

Well they are the same set up.....

Comptech has a lightened flywheel for the TSX, exedy have a clutch setup for the TSX too. I am sure they are the same as the ones for the RSX though!

I heard the area on the flywheel facing on the DC5R(where the clutch etc sits) is smaller/less than the Euro!

When you change to an aftermarket flywheel, you need to get a clutch that matches it as the size is different. I think it applies to the DC5 as well.

Righto, well there you go! I had the strong impression that they were the same.

I think i'll wait with this mod if/when OEM clutch wears out.

I had the option of running the jdm dc5r flywheel with the stock euro clutch, so i believe they should be the same. I can't 100% confirm this though without more research, although i had the exedy sports organic and oem euro flywheel out at the same time and they seemed to be of the same size (key word being seemed :P). If i can locate some information that confirms this (or otherwise) i'll ad it to this thread.

TypeG, the aftermarket ones are slightly lighter and with the exedy unit you save 0.5kg over the jdm dc5r, i believe its a similar weight saving if you go for toda (which is up to 1kg lighter)

personally i erred on the side of caution going with an oem honda product that is obviously reliable in a k application. the k24s long stroke may also be a reason for concern with extremely light flywheels, or not. But its not something i wanted to test out.

like i said before, i think the header is a good choice and if you go for a quality product the cracking shouldn't be an issue.

I'd also like to know your current mods to make a better judgement

Yeah Chris.I'd be int.to know more.I'd consider a lightened flywheel(not too light)and a heavy duty clutch.I don't want a clutch that is "noisy".i'd want it to be as close to stock(re: noise, pedal feel etc.) as possible......Thanks.

hehe tony you forgot to ad the [/quote]

You can actually get an OEM spec clutch through exedy, that should offer the same characteristics as stock. Because it's expensive to have a new flywheel fitted i went with a new sportier clutch at the same time hoping itll last a bit longer than the oem one (maybe). But for the performance a flywheel is well worth the money and yo ushouldnt let the installation cost put you off. For $7-800 you can have a comptech flywheel that is about 4.5kg including installation. No catback, intake or header (and most likely any combination of those without tuning) is going to give you as much of a gain. So in that sense its a great bang for the buck mod.

The only downside.. there's little to know wank factor... you can't hear it, you can't see it, but you can definitely feel it.

IMO a mildly modified well rounded euro would consist of coilovers and or sway bars, brake pads and a flywheel - I/H/E mods are over rated but they do look good and make the car sound the part at least

I agree.that's why i'm asking lots of Qs re:lightened flywheel.

That's what I thought.....

Not sure.can anyone confirm this?
