I've got a question. The motor in my 88 Turbo II is blown. So, now I have to perform an engine swap. I'm going to swap in an S5 engine. While the engine is out, I'm going to change the clutch and flywheel.
For the swap, I was told that I need the counter weight from an S5 automatic? Is this correct? I thought I just needed an S5 counter weight. Does it have to be an automatic??? Thanks. |
the counter weight is made in to the flywheel on the manual transmission car... You need the counter weight off a automatic because aftermarket flywheels don't have the counter weight built in, so they male them to bolt up to the automatic counterweight.

In your case what u need is a new flywheel. U need to get a s5 turbo flywheel, the Mazda OEM flywheels have their counterweight cast into the flywheel itself.
If you go with a lightweigth flywheel u will need to get a S5 auto tranny counterweight for it. Yo will know when u buy it. S5 NA rotors are the same weight as S5 TII rotors. |
I'm picking up an Exedy Hyper Single Clutch. It incorporates the clutch and the flywheel together.
So, general consensus is I need a S5 automatic counterweight? Huh? Cool. (Anyone happen to know the part number)? ASSUMING that I swap in a S4 engine (along w/ aftermarket clutch and flywheel),...do I go w/ a S4 automatic counterweight, in this scenario??? Thanks for your help guys. |

But then I also am getting a lightweight flywheel with matching counterweight for the flywheel with a stage 2 exedy clutch |
