Which do you guys think is best? I heard jun is very good and might go with their chromoly fly wheel. Any suggestions, experience. This won't be for awhile I was just curious.
I think you could do a search for this topic, i'm sure it's been discussed before. Anyway.. :finger:
Essentially cromoly will be ligher and stronger than an aluminum flywheel. However, like all hard things they tend to shatter/crack easier if pushed past a certain limit. Aluminum, while heavier and not quite as strong will be able to "take" the blows better than cromoly. It'll essentially dent and bend before it cracks. Personally I chose the 2nd (sitting in my room right now. )
Something that no-one has mentioned is that, at least the JUN Chromoly, does not have a replaceable friction disk, like the CM and Fidenza flywheels. Once enough friction material has worn off the inside of the chromoly you need to replace the whole flywheel. On the alluminum ones, you just buy a new friction disk. I know of two people who have worn out JUN flywheels to the point where the had to throw them out.
This really isn't an FI question.

How exactly does a flywheel wearout? Over time it just wears like a clutch or from starting it when it is already started. Can I expect it to last longer than two clutches?

actually your wrong.. aluminum is lighter than chromoly... and check out the link i sent you guys up a lil bit that tells you a lot about the debate.. the only bad thing bout a chromoly wheel is since it is hard and the starter teeth are hard, there is a risk of cracking..
Chomorro. I wish I had pictures to explain better, I could have taken some today.
The clutch is made up of two parts, the pressure plate and the disk. The pressure plate actually squeezes the disk against the flywheel. So the flywheel wears down, the disk wears down, and the pressure plate wears down. It should take a while to wear down the friction surface of the flywheel, but like I said, I've heard of two people who have had to throw out there JUN flywheel because they wore too much. Both drag raced occasionaly during the summer and probably drove their car fairly hard.

Yes that side of the argument definately makes you want to get the easier replaceable aluminum flywheel, but then again you have to remember, go too light and it makes daily driving a *****. Aluminum flywheels (all from what I have seen) weigh 9 lbs. or less and most chromoly ones weigh round 13 lbs. On the street if you have a flywheel that is too light, when you rev up high, then go to shift your rpm's drop like a rock becuase since there is less weight there is a lot less momentum.

If you do a search here, you'll find that the people who did comment on the Fidanza had no problems with drivability. From what I recall, it didn't take long to get used to the adjusted driving style (i.e. slightly easier to stall, faster dropped engine rpm's, etc...)
Luded1 has the Fidanza on his JRSC setup, and we haven't heard a peep outta him.
I will be sporting the Fidanza as well, once it comes time to replace the stock clutch (and I'm really hoping that this will be sometime soon!!!).
