Default Supra flywheel

Man, I've searched my *ss off!

The next time my clutch (SC300) needs replaced I'd like to put a lighter flywheel in, but I don't want to go too light - as in with a performance flywheel. I just want something that's a couple pounds lighter. I think I remember reading the Supra MKIV's was lighter than the SC.

Could anyone shed some light?

Thank you,.

I just wanted to bump to see if there are some fresh eyes. After googling around I found something that said the Supra flywheel weighs 22 lbs. But who knows?

I don't know exactly but I'm in the process of redoing my clutch. I know the 96 Supra Turbo clutch kit is the same (7mgte) but I don't know about weight differences. Guess I didn't really help at all, but hey at least someone posted!

Supra flywheels are not going to be lighter supra flywheels are actually pretty damn heavy lol. You could use the na 5 speed one which would most likely be the same flywheel. The only lightweight one you could actually buy would be an aftermarket one.

If you are planning on boosting your car in the future then a light weight flywheel isn't really the way to go since some people break them. That is why supras have such a heavy flywheel. But if you plan on staying NA then a lightweight flywheel should help out the car and the car would feel quicker.

Hopefully I helped out a little. If there is anything wrong in my post, people feel free to correct me.

well searching light weight flywheels this is the best thread i found. im wanting to know whats best for me.

im doing a r154 swap in my 2jzgte single conversion sc, ive heard a steel flywheel is best to keep the load/boost up so its easier to spool. and you will lose boost quick with a light weight true?

how much easier is it on the motor itself using a light weight flywheel?

its a street car with some high way pulls and some drag runs 400 + - hp
