Exedy Lightweight Flywheel
2013–2020 Subaru BRZ / 2017–2020 Toyota 86
TF02
Overview:
The Exedy Lightweight Flywheel is engineered to enhance throttle response and overall drivability for the Subaru BRZ (2013–2020) and Toyota 86 (2017–2020). Designed for lightly tuned racing applications as well as spirited street driving, this flywheel reduces rotational mass and inertia, allowing the engine to rev more freely and accelerate quicker. It is an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved engine responsiveness without sacrificing reliability or daily usability.
Whether you participate in autocross, drag racing, rally events, or simply want a more engaging driving experience, the Exedy Lightweight Flywheel delivers consistent performance and durability under demanding conditions.
Key Features:
This flywheel combines advanced materials and design features to optimize performance and longevity:
- Constructed from solid one-piece billet chromoly steel for superior strength and durability
- Lightweight design weighing approximately 12.7 lbs, significantly reducing rotational inertia
- Integrated ring gear teeth machined directly onto the flywheel to prevent separation issues common with aluminum flywheels
- Special airflow and cooling design to enhance clutch temperature management during aggressive driving
- SFI certified and tested to withstand engine speeds up to 18,000 rpm, ensuring high reliability
- 8-bolt mounting pattern for secure and precise fitment
- Ideal for lightly tuned engines and various motorsport disciplines including drag racing, autocross, and rally
Construction & Design:
The Exedy Lightweight Flywheel is crafted from billet chromoly steel, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and thermal capacity. Unlike aluminum flywheels that rely on a pressed-on ring gear, this flywheel features an integrated ring gear machined directly into the steel body. This eliminates the risk of ring gear separation caused by differing thermal expansion rates between aluminum and steel.
Its one-piece forged construction ensures structural integrity and resistance to high RPM stresses, while the lightweight design reduces engine load and inertia. The flywheel’s design also incorporates features to improve airflow around the clutch assembly, helping to dissipate heat and maintain consistent clutch performance during demanding driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
The Exedy Lightweight Flywheel is a direct fit replacement for the Subaru BRZ models from 2013 through 2020 and Toyota 86 models from 2017 through 2020. Installation requires standard flywheel removal and replacement procedures and should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper torque specifications and clutch alignment. No modifications to the engine or transmission are necessary, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts.
What's Included:
- One-piece billet chromoly steel lightweight flywheel
- Integrated ring gear
- Installation hardware (if applicable, verify with seller)
Ideal For:
This flywheel is perfect for drivers who want to improve throttle response and engine feel without compromising reliability. It suits lightly tuned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 owners who participate in motorsports such as autocross, drag racing, and rally, as well as enthusiasts seeking enhanced street performance. Its robust construction and SFI certification also make it suitable for competitive environments where durability is critical.
