PRODUCT DETAILS
Exedy Lightweight Flywheel, Civic/CRX
If you want your D series to rev like it means it, the Exedy flywheel is a proven upgrade. This Exedy lightweight flywheel, SKU: EXE-HF501, fits Honda Civic 1992 to 2000 and Honda CRX 1988 to 1991. It weighs 10.9 lbs, so you drop rotating mass and feel the motor pick up RPM faster, especially in 2nd and 3rd when you roll back into the throttle. It works for drag, autocross, rally, and it still behaves fine on the street, you just need to accept the trade off of less stored inertia. That can mean a little easier to stall if your idle and clutch control are sloppy.
Exedy builds this chromoly flywheel from solid one piece billet chromoly steel, so you get strength and heat capacity that aluminum options struggle with when you start doing repeated launches or hot lapping. Exedy also cuts the ring gear teeth directly into the flywheel instead of pressing on a separate ring gear like many aluminum units. That matters because mixed materials expand differently, and separation is not the kind of excitement you want. Exedy has durability testing up to 15,000 to 18,000 RPM, and it meets SFI standards, which is why people run it as a racing flywheel without losing sleep. We use these exact parts on our own cars because they take abuse and keep working.
