Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel
2005–2010 Scion tC, Scion tC2, Scion xB2
133241
Overview:
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for the 2005 to 2010 Scion tC, as well as compatible with the Scion tC2 and Scion xB2 models. This flywheel significantly reduces rotational mass compared to the factory original, weighing in at just 9.5 pounds versus the heavier OEM unit. By lowering the moment of inertia, it allows your engine to rev more quickly and shifts to be executed faster, enhancing overall throttle response and driving dynamics.
Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved performance without sacrificing reliability, the Fidanza flywheel offers a perfect balance of lightweight design and durability. Whether you’re upgrading for spirited street driving or track use, this flywheel delivers noticeable improvements in engine responsiveness and transmission feel.

Construction & Design:
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel is crafted from premium-grade aluminum alloy, chosen for its exceptional strength and lightweight properties. Unlike simple aluminum replicas, Fidanza’s design strategically removes weight only from non-critical areas, maintaining structural integrity where it matters most. This meticulous engineering process ensures the flywheel can endure the stresses of high RPMs and aggressive driving without compromising durability.
Each flywheel undergoes precision CNC machining to achieve exact tolerances and perfect balance, reducing vibrations and promoting smooth operation. Fidanza’s commitment to quality means this flywheel meets or exceeds OEM standards while delivering superior performance benefits.
Performance & Sound
By reducing the flywheel’s mass, the engine requires less energy to spin the rotating assembly, freeing up horsepower to accelerate the vehicle more effectively. This results in faster throttle response and quicker shifts, enhancing the driving experience especially in performance-oriented scenarios. While the flywheel itself does not alter exhaust sound, the improved engine responsiveness can make the car feel more lively and engaging.
Installation & Fitment:
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel is a direct replacement for the factory flywheel on 2005–2010 Scion tC, as well as compatible with Scion tC2 and Scion xB2 models. Installation requires standard mechanical skills and tools, typically involving removal of the transmission to access the flywheel. No modifications to the vehicle or clutch assembly are necessary, making it a straightforward upgrade for experienced DIYers or professional installers.
What's Included:
- One Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel (Part #133241)
- Installation hardware not included (reuse OEM hardware recommended)
Ideal For:
