They are different...

Stock dual-mass flywheel is 12.65kg

Stock pressure plate is 4.8kg

Well-worn & burnt to a crisp clutch plate is 0.8kg

Thanks Altezzanz

I dont know the weights of the current setup in the car now, except that to ship everything was just on 10kg.

Flywheel was 5.8kg...

Im pretty sure the Blitz SC kit is for the 3SGE only, no?

Correct... probably shoiuld have pointed that out before.

The blitz super charger kit comes with with a blitz ECU.... so you would use that to run it

All up about 12kg.

Flywheel is 5.8kg

If you were to put that on the 3sg it would be a pig, and the idle would be something out of it.

:)

They are interchangable....

I have the above for sale in a box to suit the Altezza.

Looking for about $300.

THanks

There any pics of this around?

price?

Blitz NUR-Spec Exhaust

Factory tinted glass... even if it was 25% it would still be ok... the law only applies to aftermarket crap

Well as im in napier... probably courier is about the only option :D

I still have the dual mass unit if you guys want to borrow it to get a design from it your more than welcome.

Is it generally advised to 'upgrade' the clutch at the same as the flywheel, zee?

You have no option but to upgrade the clutch. The factory toyota clutch will not fit as it is designed for the dual mass flywheel.

The Toms and TRD light weight flywheels are designed for the TRD clutch kit - im unsure about the other models for flywheel.

So basically the whole operation cost about $2200, for the flywheel, disc and cover.

The HKS RS induction probably killed a little off the very low end (this is to be expected tho), the exhaust made a slight improvement through the rev range. The flywheel has offered the best improvement.

In saying that, there would be no way I would go and do it without first having a stuffed clutch.

With the Altezza it is recommended that you replace the flywheel when you do the clutch, this is due to the dual mass design. The factory dual mass flywheel is $1800 from Toyota, and on top of that you still need the clutch kit.

Toyota will charge you about $295+ to install the kit.

hey im kinda a newbie about mechanics of a car and stuff, coudl you explain what a flywheel exactly does? also how much does the stock tezza flywheel weigh and whats the difference with the lightened one?

I think zee007 has really summed it all up.

Zee007 advantages are 100% bang on.

and my comments for the disadvantages are:

Lumpier idle speeds due to less damping

This is very common when lighting the flywheel on any car, however have not noticed this on the altezza.

Easier to stall the car when setting off due to less stored energy

For sure!

Less damping on the engine so slightly harder on gearbox/diff

Agree...

Also the weight, well the factory dual mass beast is a massive 12kg... the Toms light weight is 6kg.

I have had my Toms Light Weight Flywheel fitted (pictures can be found in the Garage - link below) and what a difference.

The altezza is no longer a dead duck at low rev's. It has made a marked improvement thru the whole rev range, but it really noticable with low revs.

It does make the car quite a bit different to drive, and after two days, im still getting used to it. Really easy to still, but that is to be expected, as there is less mass to keep the momentum.

urm ok... is it solid or does it have a bit of flex in it?

Had it for about 5 weeks but been on car for about 2 weeks I think, really like it!

stoked as got it for $900.

What is it made of? I assume it is poly?? and not glass?

Hey Boss, do you know enough about computers to buy components in HK for me???

What you looking for? Send me a pm, and I will get back to you with some prices.

As everyone has said... you need to block off the vacumn hose that opens the flap to allow more air into the factory air box.

I have my car fitted with a HKS RS Induction Kit. The kit was really easy to install, hardest part it removing the factory air box (and that is easy).

If you click on the link in my sig it will take to my car in the garage, and in there you can see the induction kit installed and you will see the Air Flow sensor installed on the front of the alloy piping.

Good Luck

If you need one, I have one

Could you prehaps get us a price for the Blitz R-VIT when you are over there... It looks the *BLEEP*

The RVIT is an electronic device that plugs into the OBD diagnostic port on the vehicle. The unit will display all of the information that the vehicles ECU reads from the vehicles sensors. This includes readouts such as Speed, Tacho, Water Temp, Voltage, Injector Pulse, Intake Temp, Air Flow Mass, Intake Manifold Temp, Oxygen Mix, Throttle Position, Exhaust Gas Temp etc

I was told not possible to do camshafts as vvti will be lost and thus why I didnt change mine

AS long as the change is nothing to major the vvti can be retained...
