Crome will be more than fine for you. Glad to help bud.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention in the email. Make sure that your turbo has a 4 bolt exhaust outlet, most come with them just double check from your seller.

Otherwise, everything looks good so far!

think i might get an act cluch instead of exedy, save some cash lol, when a clutch says holds 285ft lbs that means ft lbs of torque right? and would a clutch company rate there products at the wheel or at the crank?i never plan on exceeding 200wtq so i think i would be fine with the (ACT heavy duty clutch kit. says it hold 285ft lbs and clamps 20-50% harder) or if im pushing 220 whp should i go with the (ACT Extreme clutch kit, it hold 270ft lbs but clamps 50-120% harder) i dont know what would be better for my turbo setup. boost wont be hit till around 4000 rpm so i dont know if i need the clamp load for the launch. but i have no idea  lol.

i have a machinest friend who will shave my flywheel for free, is a stock flywheel shaved down more reliable than say a fidanza? and can i shave it to basically any weight i desire? say 9lbs? cuz if i can shave my stock FW to 9lbs and keep it reliable i will, but if its not as durable as the 7lb fidanza then ill go with the fidanza.

one more thing, if i do go with a super light flywheel would my car not like driving on the freeway as much... i drive 45 minutes of freeway a day so that is kind of a big deal if it affects that aspect. i dont mind the decelerating faster than usual but would my car cruise the same or would it need to work harder. thats kind of the reason i would shave my stock FW to 9-10 lbs just for that little extra weight for freeway driving.

I dont think you can really "shave" your flywheel to a certain weight. I would just get it resurfaced and spend the extra money in other places. You really wont notice enough of a difference for the money. You will be fine with either act clutch. They dont really make a clutch that doesnt hold a lot of power. I would just be careful with the disk itself. You probably want the organic disk instead of an unsprung puck disk unless you really like a chattery rough engagement. You probably wont use the extra bite of a puck disk.

Might I suggest the Action clutches?

www.garage-life.com

Email their sales depertment, I've bought a lot of stuff from them and they're a great bunch of guys, always ship my stuff out super fast! When you email them, tell them what your plans are and they'll recommend you a clutch, it will probably be the 1MS/1MD. 1MS being sprung, 1MD being unsprung (I like unsprung, gives a nice feel to the clutch).

If you get a flywheel, make sure it is STEEL! I wouldn't worry about it though, I just take a softer grinding pad to the flywheel and roughen it up a bit, aka "resurface" it. I wouldn't shave the stock flywheel... I've seen far far too many of them splitting into 5-6 pieces and splintering through every aspect of a car at a few hundred miles an hour. When a flywheel explodes it will destroy your entire car.

Oh, and if you get your manifold that I sent you before I get my ECU back, I'm gonna be ULTRA pissed (but happy for you haha).

so instead of getting new flywheel i can just give mine a quick sanding with a grinding pad? wow, too easy i can do that.. just installing the clutch gonna be the hard part... all dayer im assuming

and yes sov, i did recieved it at 330 today right as i got off work... ran to the sandblasting room, sandblasted them and laughed at your o2 sensor weld and ground that off and rewelded it. then i headed over to napa where i bought some 1200-2000degree black ceramic paint and painted them.. they look brand new thx man.

one question, on the downpipe you beat the piss out of it in one spot? was that to make it fit around something? and thank you in advance if it fits around that same thing when i install it on mine lol..

ill post up some pictures of your old setup this weekend when i get to my other computer, they look 100% brand new, i couldnt be happier thx sov.

and as for the clutch, ill go with the action just cuz you havent been wrong about anything so far. so im all ears on your advice
keep the advice coming guys
thx

I had to bang that little bit there in order to fit my oil lines in. When you route your oil lines, make sure you have EVERYTHING bolted in so that you know what's going on, I didn't lol.

Oh, and I'm not the one who welded that O2 sensor lol, it's ghetto but it worked quite well.

Can't wait to see some pics!
