Better Clutch & Lightweight Flywheel! Suggestions?

[nissias]

Can someone check the link above and tell me if it will fit the Elan SE Turbo?

What I need to know is if the clutch and flywheel on the Elan turbo is the same as the ones on Isuzu Impulse RS 1.6 Turbo, Isuzu Stylus and Geo Storm. Please let me know as I am looking to buy stuff this month.
Any suggestions are welcome as long as you know prices and what exactly fits the Elan turbo!
I am also after a flywheel and I will be going possibly after the Fidanza route. I again need info on what exactly fits our cars and if it's the same as the cars mentioned above.
Thanks,
Nikos.

it should be the same. the crank and tranny are the same. even if you had the NA flywheel you can resurface it so the bigger clutch will fit. You could also measure your disk if you have it out already. But I dont have an elan yet so its all pure speculation. Doc could confirm since he has had both engines apart.

According to the owner of http://www.flatlander-ipp.co.uk/isuzu.shtml who is the representative of the following webpage here in the UK
http://www.importperformanceparts.net/ the best recommended clutch kits for the Elan SE Turbo are the ones from Spec and the Fidanza flywheel he recommends is even better that the Clutch Masters and Unorthodox racing one (which is yet in production?). In terms of clutch kits we have compared Clutchmasters, Ram, Unorthodox Racing, Centerforce and Spec with the last one provided the best kits from stage 1 to stage 5 (7 different stages to choose) leaving it up to you and your needs. I went for clutch kit stage 3. Anything more than that becomes non-street driveable. On the webpage I mentioned are also a lot of other stuff that fit on our engines. Yet significant is to tell you that flywheels that fit on the Geo Storm 1.6, Isuzu Stylus 1.6 and Isuzu Impulse RS 1.6 Turbo AWD can fit on our Elan turbos. BUT if you take the clutches then the kits used for Stylus and Storm have a much thinner plate and the clutch used by the Impulse RS is almost identical to the Elan Turbo and compatible. So if you are choosing a clutch kit make sure it fits on the Isuzu Impulse RS 1.6 Turbo which has the same engine and power output as our Elans and has the same needs in terms of clutch. The only difference should be the gear ratios but at least someone can finally get an idea of what fits our cars and what doesn't as everything was very confusing.
I hope this helps anyone thinking of buying a flywheel and a clutch kit.
http://www.importperformanceparts.net/ IS ALSO CHEAP and I highly recommend buying from here. The guy even talked to me after office hours.
Thanks to everyone that helped me clear up the whole gearbox issue. Especially Doc Fizzix, nitroman, isuzuimark and Doug who had clear answers for me!
