Fidanza Flywheel Question

I'm looking at the Fidanza aluminum flywheel and Fidanza says it's for H-series engines only. Given the compatibility of the H- and F-series 2.2 and 2.3L engines, will it fit on my 99 F23?

It has 8 bolt mounting like the ACT Prolite 600130...

Here are the specs:

Fidanza 191221
Weight: 8 lbs.
Material: Aluminum w/ Carbon Steel Friction Disc
Mount: 8 bolt
Diameter: ???


ACT Prolite 600130
Weight: 8.8 lbs.
Material: Chromoly
Mount: 8 bolt
Diameter: 224mm

Found some more infor on a TSX forum....

We just did a Exedy Clutch/Fidanza flywheel on a 00 Accord 4 cyl. You're going to have drill out those holes on the flywheel. That flywheel is made for hte Prelude/Acura CL. The flywheel bolts are slightly thicker on the Accord and that is why Fidanza doesn't list the Accord as an application specifically. It does bolt up fine and does work fine but you will need to have those holes drilled out to something slightly larger. I believe the Accord bolts were just shy of .45" in diameter.

Several guys over at everything-Honda.com have had no issues on a their 6th gen coupes either? Same combo Exedy clutch-Fidanza wheel 191221. I'm an odd ball in also using the Fidnaza clutch which was hard to find IMO.

Are you sure you had the right flywheel part no. I called Fidanza to confirm this part number and any special issues with them. This was not stated. It is a tight fit and they did state a hot plate or torch may be needed to heat and expand the Al so the wheel will be within tolerance when you fit the parts.

Not wanting to call you wrong or anything, but I mean if Honda lists the same parts?

And the real kicker...
Accord 97 F2.2L can use flywheel & gen 4 Lude.
22100-PT7-013 OR
22100-PT7-003

Accord 98-00 F2.3L use flywheel
22100-PT7-013

Prelude 00 H2.2L use flywheel
22100-PT7-003

Since the F and H share the same Honda flywheels and flange bolts and clutch plate bolts are all 12mm it would appear flywheels are interchangeable and the same, at least from a parts book point of view...?

Now Fidanza does list a unique flywheel for the 88-89 Lude. 191121

Which holes are you refering too BTW?

I'm referring to the flywheel bolts. I even asked Moda's contact, Shawn, and he said that they didn't have it listed on their application guide too for some reason that he couldn't remember. Well we found out when we did the install. It's not a big deal. If you would to heat that up you could try it but I personally would rather drill it out b/c it was a few hundredths of an inch. That was the case with our 2001 Accord EX 4 cyl. You will see. Compare the size of the hole on the stock flywheel to the Fidanza and there is a difference. I know the Acura CL has the F22/F23 and that is what the Accord has. I have a 99 Accord LX 4 cyl F23A1. But the flywheel bolts didn't fit. It was minimal drilling but the holes had to be enlarged.

 
Anyone else have anything to add?

i have a fidanza h22 flywheel on my f22, if that helps

The CL and Accord used the same motor. If it works for a Lude and CL, it'll work for your accord.

What I'm saying here is this, why go thru all the problems of what your trying to do, when you can buy the correct flywheel for your car in the 1st place? ----isn't it enoughf to just do it with the correct parts than to do it with the incorrect parts and have to go thru all that!

Because if the only problem is drilling out the hole a few hundredths of an inch to save about $100 on an ACT flywheel then it's worth it to me. The rep at Fidanza said it fits, it's just extremely tight so that's why they don't list it for the F series

I would suggest taking it to a machine shop that has a drill press to do it. Luckily it's an aluminum one. If you took the chromoly one, the machist would be sort of angry after dulling his drill bit.
