Choosing the Right Clutch / Flywheel |
|
|
Choosing the correct combination of Clutch and Flywheel for different
driving applications can be confusing, and yet, it's a critical
decision. The wrong combination can set you back in the performance
and reliability that you're looking for.
Lightweight flywheels are designed for use in most 2WD
applications such as street, circle track and drag racing (factory
Toyota flywheels range in weight between 22 and 24 pounds). A lighter
flywheel carries less reciprocating weight, which in turn, allows the
driver to bring the RPM's of the engine up faster and shift through
the gears quicker. LC Engineering manufactures a full range of
lightweight flywheels from 9 to 16 pounds.
Heavy, or High-Torque flywheels are best used on 4WD
applications such as street, off-road racing and rock crawling. A
heavy flywheel has a greater inertia bank and allows the engine to
keep the torque range it was built for. This is ideal for vehicles
with large tires and tall gears. LC Engineering manufactures a
30-pound (8 7/8") and a 35-pound (9 1/ 4") heavy-duty flywheel for
your high-torque needs.
Clutches also play an important role in your vehicles
performance depending on application. LC Engineering carries three
high performance clutch discs for every application. The LC Pro
Clutch Disc has a high strength fiber material on both sides of the
disc and is best used on street or light off-road applications
providing you with smooth operation and |

extreme street and heavy off-road use. The LC Pro Ceramic Clutch Disc is
