XTD Flywheel Reveiw

Well, after about 12k miles, the XTD flywheel called it quits.


I heard about this happening before but I'm an experienced based person, unless undeniable evidence is provided for me, I take what the internet says with a grain of salt.

With that, I learned the hard way that the great value of eBay parts have to be paid somehow, in this case extra labor.

Fidanza on the Left, XTD on the right (Mi chancla in the lower left)



Anywho, one long weekend, came to an end finally, good news is I no longer have to use JB Weld my crank sensor in place due to the RWD trigger plate, just good ol fashion stock looking-ness.

XTD vs. Fidanza Performance

Well after driving around for a bit, it is quite noticeable that the XTD is a lighter flywheel, and against what people say it's more noticeable in high gear at low rpms acceleration and neutral revving. When holding both flywheels together the XTD is a little bit lighter, but I did not expect to feel an actual noticeable performance change. In this category is XTD is better overall.

In the end, the XTD flywheel was a fun venture, I purchased it lightly used for about $120 so I do not have too many complaints or gripes about the time, money and effort spent on it, I got to write this post and back up what the internet forums are saying about this product.

Headers coming up soon (I want moar powah!)
