This flywheel allows you to run a 17+ Civic Type R (FK8) clutch disc and pressure plate in your 1.5T Si or any 1.5T manual equipped car.

Is it lightweight? RV6 1.5T FK8 Clutch Retro Flywheel 42% lighter than stock. (Actual weight 20.5lbs) We could have gone lighter however the issue with running a flywheel that is too light is that your will trip the misfire detection within ECU and throw an error code never allowing you to pass inspection. Light weight flywheels are also easier to stall and harder to launch. They also make the engine run rough at lower RPMs due to the lack of inertia. The main goal of this setup is to hold power without sacrificing comfort or drivability.
