Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel
2004–2006 Scion xA / xB
133151
Overview:
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models. By significantly reducing the rotational mass compared to the factory flywheel, this component allows your engine to rev more freely and respond quicker to throttle inputs. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved acceleration and faster shifting, the Fidanza flywheel enhances driving dynamics without compromising reliability.
Constructed to exacting standards, this flywheel is perfect for street performance and spirited driving, delivering a noticeable improvement in engine responsiveness and overall vehicle performance.
Key Features:
Fidanza’s lightweight flywheel offers a blend of advanced engineering and durable construction, providing both performance gains and long-lasting reliability. Key features include:
- Lightweight design weighing only 8.0 lbs, significantly lighter than the stock flywheel
- Reduced moment of inertia for quicker engine revving and improved throttle response
- Precision CNC machining to ensure perfect balance and fitment
- Durable aluminum construction optimized to maintain strength under high-stress conditions
- Designed to reduce horsepower loss by minimizing the effort required to spin the flywheel
- Direct bolt-on replacement for 2004–2006 Scion xA and xB models
- Improves shift speed and smoothness for manual transmission applications
- Engineered to withstand aggressive driving and track use without sacrificing longevity
Construction & Design:
The Fidanza flywheel is crafted from high-quality aluminum alloy, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike simple aluminum replicas, Fidanza’s design strategically removes weight from non-critical areas to optimize performance while preserving structural integrity. This careful engineering ensures the flywheel can endure the rigors of spirited driving and high RPM operation without failure.
Each flywheel undergoes precision CNC machining and balancing to meet stringent quality standards. The result is a component that not only reduces rotational mass but also maintains the durability and reliability expected from a premium aftermarket part.
Performance & Sound
By lowering the flywheel’s weight, the Fidanza unit reduces the engine’s rotational inertia, allowing it to accelerate and decelerate more quickly. This translates into faster throttle response, improved acceleration, and quicker gear changes. Drivers will notice a more lively and engaging driving experience, especially in manual transmission vehicles.
While the flywheel itself does not directly alter exhaust sound, the enhanced engine responsiveness can contribute to a sportier feel and more immediate power delivery.
Installation & Fitment:
This flywheel is a direct replacement for the factory flywheel on 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models equipped with manual transmissions. Installation requires standard flywheel removal and replacement procedures. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and clutch alignment.
No modifications to the transmission or engine components are necessary, making this an easy upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved performance without extensive vehicle changes.
What's Included:
- One Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel (Part #133151)
- Installation hardware is not included and should be reused from the factory flywheel or sourced separately
Ideal For:
This flywheel is ideal for Scion xA and xB owners who want to enhance their vehicle’s throttle response and shifting speed. It suits drivers who enjoy spirited street driving, occasional track days, or anyone looking to improve the overall driving dynamics of their manual transmission Scion without sacrificing durability.
