it shouldnt be an ass-ton unless you are easily overcharged. it would cost no more than a clutch job would, and even at toyota dealer standard rate of 85 bucks an hour, at a six hour job, it is still $510. paying any more than 600 would be dumb.
lo bux did flywheel installs for eric, wolo, zygote55, me, and himself, with the assistance of those respective party's. by the time we got to mine, it was smooth sailing. realistically, it is about a 3 hour job max.

BTW, i just noticed the racing panda quote in your sig. lmao.

^^^ i agree. (with both your posts above...

)

i am very pleased with the results. the throttle response is tighter, it is easier to rev match, but i stalled my car for about 3 days after the install since the revs drop off faster. had to learn my car a little again. good price, great mod.

a lightened flywheel does not create HP. all you are doing is reducing the rotating mass, allowing the HP that is there to work less to do the same job. so, things are spinning faster, but there is not more power being created. an inertial dyno will likely show an increase in WHP, but it is a false indication. if that number is interesting to you, someone on scionlife posted he saw a 6hp gain or something like that. not that he did get more HP, but thats what was registered. for the record, a shift in engine temp, ambient temp, etc... can show a 6HP gain on an inertial dyno.
you will feel the difference, but i am unable to say how. i know that after the flywheel / before my supercharger moriarty and i did a series of rolling starts. mine with flywheel, his without. i consistently pulled about a hood length on him. so, yeah, its noticeable in a straight line, and very noticeable when rev matching.
thats the best i have, sorry. maybe someone else in here with one can decipher what the hell i just rambled and spit it out clearly.

well, unless you want to go through the process again. i mean, its fun and all, but i wish i had done my clutch at the same time. oh well, back to lance's place for the air tools, and his secret clutch install technique he hinted at.

if you can find it for 170, tell me where.
we got ours on a group buy from titan with fidanza's approval, and stole them at 250 apiece. that was a smoking deal.
