EXEDY Racing Flywheels are made from solid one-piece billet chrome moly steel or chrome moly steel forging. They are specifically designed to reduce weight and inertia for better engine response. Most incorporate special design features to enhance the air flow to improve the cooling of the clutch. The ring gear teeth are milled onto thee flywheel unlike an aluminum flywheel where the ring gear is pressed onto the flywheel and have the possibilities of separating from the flywheel. This could cause the flywheel to explode due to two different expansion coefficients (aluminum flywheel pressed on steel ring gear). EXEDY steel billet and forged steel flywheels have passed engineering test to 15,000 rpm, Weight 12 pounds.
Low mass is a good thing when it comes to high-performance flywheels, which is why the lightweight aluminum Exedy flywheel can help your sporty street ride or weekend racer develop more drive-wheel power.
A flywheel is basically an energy storage device. When the factory designs your flywheel, they take smoothness and other drivability factors into account and end up creating a heavier-than-necessary flywheel.
An Exedy flywheel still gives you great drivability, but the Exedy flywheel is made of lighter materials that take less engine power to accelerate. Your engine doesn’t make more power and torque, but more power and torque gets to the wheels because your Exedy flywheel isn’t soaking up as much of it as your stock flywheel did.
Make sense? Each Exedy flywheel is custom-machined from proprietary alloy metals and specially tuned to the vehicle upon which it is intended to be mounted. That way, your Exedy flywheel always gives you smooth shifting, scintillating acceleration, and steady idling characteristics that you’ll love if you’re a performance-minded driver. More importantly, you get back a handful of horsepower with an Exedy flywheel, which is what your goal should be with every modification you make.
Exedy Flywheels are the brand you want if you want performance.
