I am going to replace the 901 with a Suby trans soon and was wondering about the flywheel weight. I called KEP and they didn't know how much theirs weighed, or the weight of the stock flywheel. They use the, that looks good method. This car is a DD so don't want to pull it out just yet.
Their kit works good. I don't know the difference to anything else so maybe it is heavy?
I have always felt the WRX revs up slow, off the bottom, compared to my stock 2.0 FI type 4.
Does anyone know the weight of the KEP flywheel compared to the stock 02 WRX? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) TIA

This is the flywheel I have in mind.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMPETITION-CLUTCH...15c&vxp=mtr
It is not a lot but If I could I would rather go maybe 16#
I see 15# for the 2004-2012 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI 2.5L TURBO
but not for the 02 wrx? I understand it is a larger diameter clutch but the ring gear is the same. I don't know if the complete 04 FW and clutch set will fit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Anyone ever heard of upgrading the 02 WRX with the 04 WRX/STI setup?

For the guys that have had their conversions up and running. Has anyone used a lighter FW? Anyone feel the shutter, CEL light come on?
With the KEP set up, I can let out my clutch in first with no gas and come to a smooth roll with out problem.
If the stock OEM FW was used, does it feel a tad heavy for the street?
