2011–2016 Scion tC 2.5L (2AR-FE)
AC137FW
Overview:
The Action Clutch Lightweight Flywheel is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the Scion tC models from 2011 to 2016 equipped with the 2.5L 2AR-FE engine. Crafted from durable chromoly steel and enhanced through a specialized heat treatment process, this flywheel offers exceptional strength and longevity even under demanding conditions.
Ideal for enthusiasts who drive tuned street cars or participate in racing, this lightweight flywheel reduces rotational mass to improve engine response and throttle feel. By installing this flywheel, you’ll experience quicker revving and enhanced drivability, making it a smart choice for those seeking a more engaging driving experience.
Key Features:
This chromoly lightweight flywheel combines advanced materials and engineering to deliver reliable performance and durability. Key features include:
- Constructed from high-strength chromoly steel for superior durability and resistance to wear.
- Heat-treated to withstand extreme use and maintain structural integrity at high RPMs.
- Tested up to 18,000 RPM, ensuring it can handle aggressive driving and racing conditions.
- Lightweight design reduces rotational mass, resulting in improved engine response and quicker acceleration.
- High thermal capacity to better manage heat generated during spirited driving or track use.
- Resurfacable construction extends the service life by allowing refinishing after wear.
- Precision balanced to maintain smooth operation and reduce vibration.
- Designed specifically for the Scion tC 2.5L (2AR-FE) engine for perfect fitment and compatibility.
Construction & Design:
The flywheel is expertly crafted from chromoly steel, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The heat treatment process enhances its durability, allowing it to endure the stresses of high RPM operation without compromising performance. Its lightweight design reduces the rotational inertia of the engine’s crankshaft, enabling faster throttle response and more immediate power delivery.
Additionally, the flywheel’s resurfable nature means it can be machined to restore a smooth surface after extensive use, extending its lifespan and maintaining optimal clutch engagement. While the reduction in mass improves performance, it may introduce some noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) compared to the factory flywheel, which is typical for lightweight performance components.
Installation & Fitment:
This flywheel is a direct fit replacement for the Scion tC models from 2011 through 2016 with the 2.5L 2AR-FE engine. It installs using the factory mounting points and is compatible with OEM clutch components. No modifications, cutting, or special tuning are required for installation, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance.
What's Included:
- One chromoly lightweight flywheel designed for Scion tC 2011–2016 (2AR-FE)
- Installation hardware is not typically included and should be sourced separately if needed
Ideal For:
- Street drivers seeking improved throttle response and engine feel
- Performance enthusiasts upgrading their clutch system for spirited driving
- Track day and race participants requiring a durable, high-RPM capable flywheel
