What's the crack with these and an N/A box, will they go in without modification or am i aswell using the N/A flywheel and modding that?

I bit the bullet and bought a fidanza;

Of they few scrappies that had a manual flywheel, none would ship or had stupid shipping fees (one place quoted $450 to ship!).

Findanza ended up costing me £239 including all the UK tax, and the thing is bloody work of art! Worth every penny.

Am tempted mate, sorely.

Are the Camry flywheels the larger size, same as Turbo or the smaller size, same as N/A (Mk2 box am talkin about)?

And does using the different box/flywheel combo mean using different starter motors?

OlberJ
21-02-2007, 21:44
I thought the flywheels were a different size between N/A and Turbo, would this not put the outer edge a bit further away from the starter motor?

Or does the starter motor attach to the gearbox by a bolt which will determine the distance from flywheel centre? i.e N/A bolt closer than turbo as they're 2 different boxes?

turbo and NA flys are the same diameter,its only the clutch fitment and polished friction plate surface that differ between the two.

Too true mate. Absolutely gorgeous piece of kit

I agree - shame its hidden away once fitted... :(

I thought AdamH would've been in on this one. Flywheel looks pretty easy to copy, no?

Or is £200 for a piece of drilled alluminium a decent price?

how is everyday driving affected by the fidanza, do you need more revs to get oving.

I remember JB said something about having to get used to the fidanza, ie revs drop off more quickly when changing up/down the box

OlberJ
22-02-2007, 16:36
Lighter flywheel creates less inertia so revs rise and fall quicker. i.e the weight of the outer edge of the flywheel doen't keep pulling the crank round, also takes less effort to get spinning.

Don't think it'd cause stalling on it's own.

biteme
22-02-2007, 16:47
yeah, it's suited to quicker shifting IIRC. If you've got a very low/erratic idle, then it could conceivably stall. Not 100% though.

OlberJ

So a manual Camry flywheel would bolt straight on and need no mods?

If i can get one.

Paul Woods
27-02-2007, 07:56
indeed,that will plug n play with no mods,however you will only have one option regarding clutch as only the turbo pressure plate fits the v6 fly....so if you have an NA box you will need to fit an NA friction plate with that turbo pressure plate,ive done this before and it works but you will always need to order your clutch in sections.

OlberJ
27-02-2007, 09:48
So that's gonna be the same if we go for a Fidanza job aswell then, N/A friction plate, Turbo pressure plate?

Why's it different if we use a modded N/A flywheel, is that thinner or something?

Paul Woods
27-02-2007, 19:19
indeed,if you go fidanza and you have an NA gearbox you would need to mix n match clutches....if you use a modded NA fly then obviously all the NA clutch fits straight on that with no probs.If you have a turbo gearbox then you either use a modded turbo fly or go fidanza.

If anyone needs a flywheel I am more than happy to ship it over to you if you think this company is making you pay too much for shipping. I live in Cincinnati, OH so if you find it near me I can even pick it up so you only have to pay shipping once.

Wow, now that's a mighty kind offer. Damned decent of you sir. :thumbsup:

All the best,

I am in the process of ordering one, but I thought I had to get one for an NA MR2 5S-FE to fit a Mk2 NA box. I am using these people though, just waiting on a final price.They are sending emails at the moment.

OlberJ
17-06-2007, 23:37
That's right, N/A box requires the 5SFE flywheel.

OlberJ
17-06-2007, 23:38
Or a Turbo flywheel and a mish mash of turbo and na clutch parts (I say mish mash cos i can never remember which one's which!)

loadswine
17-06-2007, 23:43
Nice one!

Garbe
18-06-2007, 04:50
If you use an NA Box
the fidanza that fits the engine - (need to use a turbo pressure plate and na friction plate)
the 5sfe fly will need machining - only benefit here is that you can use the complete na clutch kit (pressure plate - friction plate)

thanks for the link, is there any pics of the clutch plate breakdown as im a little unclear as to what parts need to be swapped.

ok, I'm confused by the various posts on the Fidanza flywheel and it's assortment of configurations depending on gearbox/clutch/engine so will post the question!

I have a standard 3s-ge clutch (correct me if I'm wrong Paul) and am looking to replace my flywheel (from standard 3s-ge) with a Fidanza.

So I have standard n/a gearbox and clutch, do I just need the 9lbs Fidanza flywheel here:
http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=31859

or do I need to alter my configuration to allow it's use?

There is another fidanza for the camry on that site...10lbs and specifically mentions the 5vz-fe?

what do I need for my 3vz-fe with the above? :confused:

Paul Woods
03-07-2007, 19:54
this is the one you want mate,for the 5s-fe.....

http://www.ultrarev.com/product.php?productid=31946

then get mr fourveesix to alter it and its good to go.

Portgordon
03-07-2007, 23:15
Cheers Paul, so that will bolt straight onto my existing n/a gearbox (after modification by fourveesix and work with my clutch? Whats al this talk of friction plates and pressure plates, do I need any of that?

Paul Woods
04-07-2007, 07:47
once tony has modified the fidanza it will bolt straight up to your v6 and a stock mk2 NA clutch will attach straight to that,if you have any future plans to attach a supercharger or turbo then you must uprate the clutch to a 5s-fe 6 paddle jobbie,ACT supply one,the same unit thats fitted to jinja and mr sherrys cars....if you are keeping the engine stock then the NA one works fine :thumbsup:

Portgordon
04-07-2007, 08:18
what sort of price are we talking about for a 5s-fe 6 paddle clutch - and if going this route does that mean further modifications, or does that negate the need for Tony to modify the Fidanza flywheel?

Paul Woods
04-07-2007, 08:24
no regardless of the clutch type you will need to get the flywheel modded so it fits the v6,not sure off the top of my head how much they are,mr sherry has a link and price... but theres no need for this clutch if you're never going to upgrade the power mate....hang on what am i saying!!!! :)

Portgordon
04-07-2007, 09:08
Hehehehe, I do want to supercharge it at a later date :)

speaking of which, does the n/a gearbox hold that kind of power ok?

loadswine
04-07-2007, 15:28
My ACT clutch arrived today, it worked out about £200 or so by the time duty was paid. Already got my Fidanza, ready to send off for the necessary work when Paul gives me the nod.

Paul Woods
04-07-2007, 19:44
mark up to now all the NA boxes have been holding SC power just dandy!

Portgordon
04-07-2007, 20:50
Excellent! Thats what I like to hear as i don't particularily want the ratios of the turbo box :)

I love that site, how I get more things. If anyone needs a part from oklahoma/north texas region let me know, I know some places aren't real big on shipping over seas.

If you like the findanza in my humble opinion my SFI Certified Chrome Moly with integrated ring gear flywheel is truly a work of art. I designed it to fit the 3VZ, 5VZ, 1MZ, 2GR, & 3SGTE.
Here are some druel worthy pictures. When I had this one made I have a few other made as well if anyone is interested PM me or email crivera71@verizon.net . In total right now I have 5 of the 9.5 lb versions and 3 of the 11 lb versions. Hope you guys like them. Clutch Masters Made them for me so they are to the highest of quality standards.

All that talk of modifying the Fidanza and broken links have thrown me off..

This Fidanza flywheel http://twosrus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_138&products_id=794 (specifically made for 2VZFE, 3VZFE, and 1MZFE) does not need any modifications to work with an S54 transmission, correct?

Of course, all the first posts on this thread are almost six years old...

If you buy the v6 fidanza it will fit all even the 2gr-fe and if memory serves you can use mk3 flywheel bolts and that should not make it foul on the engine webbing when rotating the flywheel.

snowtigger
09-02-2013, 04:22
The only part you will need is the 20 spline clutch plate of an na (the caldina is apparently well suited for this) and turbo pressure plate as the s transmission is 20 spline and the e153 turbo is 21.

Hope that helps.

MK1 bolts according to Mr.Woods.

Thanks for clearing that up, snowtigger.

You can also use Mk1 ARP bolts and they are perfect length and not that expensive

snowtigger
09-02-2013, 14:33
If using the mk1 bolts check for the length once you bolt them up, as they can be to long and foul the crank web effectively locking your engine up.

One or 2 members have fallen foul after fitting the whole shebang into the car, just rotate it and if nothing fouls jobs a good one, 5 seconds saves hours of stripping for a quick check.
