Turbo Flywheel question

1986_4runner · 10-13-2008, 11:32 AM

I have a 1985 4Runner with turbo. 85 did not have a turbo but the last owner installed one on this one. I am getting my tranny swapped, and also want to get a new clutch. I ordered a turbo clutch, but found that the old clutch is still stock (non-turbo). I would rather change the flywheel than put a non-turbo truck.

Any suggestions where to buy the flywheel? I bought the clutch from Marlin, and they dont have the 9 5/16 flywheel for the turbo clutch (the non-turbo flywheel and clutch are 8 7/8, I believe)

They suggested LC engineering. Their 35 lb flywheel is 269 plus shipping! The local store has it for 64 dollars, and I don't know if I should pay 269 for a flywheel with specs (slightly?) higher than the stock. How heavy was the stock? I am running 33s so would like to have sufficient torque, but ~ 300 with shipping seems lot to me for a flywheel!

Thanks

Might aswell get one from either Marlin or that local one for $64.

The LCE flywheel I will admit and is the only thing I would buy from them again is nice but not 100% neccesary. I used it in my trail only rig with the 3.4 and loved the power and clutch feel was amazing pared with my marlin clutch kit. Ide go with stock though IMO Marlin sells refurb ones for about 100

Thanks, Marlin does not have the 9 5/16 flywheel, I will call them and ask about the refurbished ones.
