Hello, The new engine is an automatic so i need a flywheel. Doing a search of the forum has given a bunch of conflicting info. I need to know what flywheel to look for. I saw a photo of the KL01 and the KF01 but not the K8. so i would like to know the number stamped on the flywheel and the weight so far i know the KF01 is 16lbs and the KL01 is 22lbs what is the K8 weight and what engine is the K8 from? the 1.8? thanks in advance.

It's pretty tough to find k8 flywheel. Last I heard , most auto stores were selling kl wheels in place of the k8.

Maybe try finding a fidanza? They are 9 lb.

I have a chromoly and it's 12lb

...I have a chromoly and it's 12lb...

I second the chromoly! After having compared all three in multiple builds -I have decided that the aluminum ones are too light, the stock one is to heavy -and so a middle contender (chromoly) is my preference.

Aluminum does not launch as hard -but will eventually spin up faster after you get moving.

Stock steel will more easily spin the tires from a dead stop (sometimes wasting power -depending upon the driver) -but is slower to spin up once the wheels grab.

Chromoly is a very good compromise between the two.
