Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel
2008–2015 Scion xB2, Scion tC, Scion tC2
133241-xB2
Overview:
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB2, as well as compatible with Scion tC and tC2 models. This flywheel significantly reduces rotational mass compared to the factory OEM unit, weighing in at just 9.5 pounds. By lowering the flywheel’s weight, it reduces the engine’s moment of inertia, allowing for quicker throttle response, faster engine revving, and more immediate power delivery to the wheels. This upgrade is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved acceleration and sharper shifting without sacrificing reliability.
Fidanza’s lightweight flywheel is crafted to enhance driving dynamics while maintaining the durability required to withstand aggressive driving and demanding engine conditions. It is a direct bolt-on replacement that offers a noticeable performance improvement for street and track applications alike.

Construction & Design:
The Fidanza flywheel is manufactured from premium-grade aluminum alloy, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike simple aluminum replicas, Fidanza employs advanced engineering techniques to strategically remove weight from non-critical areas while reinforcing zones that endure the highest stress. This careful balance ensures the flywheel remains robust and reliable under demanding conditions without compromising performance.
Each flywheel undergoes precision CNC machining to maintain tight tolerances and ensure flawless compatibility with the vehicle’s clutch assembly and crankshaft. Fidanza’s commitment to quality means their flywheels meet or exceed OEM durability standards, making them suitable for both spirited street driving and track use.
Performance & Sound
By reducing the flywheel’s mass, the engine can rev more freely and respond faster to throttle inputs. This translates to quicker acceleration and more immediate power delivery, enhancing the overall driving experience. Additionally, the lightweight flywheel contributes to smoother and faster gear shifts, which is especially beneficial in performance driving scenarios.
While the primary focus is on performance, the Fidanza flywheel may also subtly affect engine sound characteristics by allowing the engine to rev more rapidly, providing a more engaging auditory feedback during spirited driving.
Installation & Fitment:
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel is designed as a direct replacement for the factory flywheel on 2008–2015 Scion xB2, as well as Scion tC and tC2 models. Installation requires standard flywheel removal procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician or experienced enthusiast. No modifications to the clutch or transmission are necessary, ensuring a straightforward upgrade process.
Proper torque specifications and alignment should be followed during installation to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
