Guest 1tuffZ Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I have a 1971 240 Z and will be dropping in a 280zx turbo engine soon...I do not have a flywheel for this engine yet. I do have 2 240z and one 260z flywheel. Can I use any of these instead? I would assume that the 240z flywheel would be the lightest. Then just get a really good clutch...I'll be running a mostly stock 280zx turbo engine for now with plans to upgrade to about 300hp later. Anyone have trouble with running 300hp on a 240z flywheel and upgraded clutch? Thank you, 1tuffz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Dave, if I remember correctly the turbo cars came with a slightly larger clutch surface area as opposed to the NA cars. However, it seems very logical that you could use either of the fly wheels you have along with a high quality clutch assy. I personally prefer a lightened flywheel for a quicker spin-up in RPM.

Guest 1tuffZ Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Name is Jason not Dave, might have me mixed up with someone else? Or is there another member with a similar name? So who makes a NA clutch that can hold 300 HP or so? If I bought say....a CM stage III for a 240Z flywheel, would it hold 300 HP? Can anyone tell me if its the same size flywheel as a NA 280Z? Thanks, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
