9inch flywheel

...................................................

Outback's new 9 inch monolithic design is a ground up new concept for motors using VW>Subaru adapter plate. Our 9" flywheel is superior to other flywheels that adapt a Subaru mount welded onto a VW flywheel. Features include: 1. Uses sealed bearing for transaxle input shaft support. The shaft doesn't touch the bearings like a VW style setup. 2. Hardened starter gear to last long. 3. Weighs about 3lbs less than a standard 2pc welded flywheel. 4. Uses the larger Porsche style pressure plate.
This view of the flywheel shows it's monolithic construction, no welding on the back side. The Outback 9" flywheel will handle any HP that a Subaru motor can dish out. Generally speaking, when used with our 6 puck 9" clutch disc, a 9" STAGE II pressure plate will handle up to 450HP. Above 450HP requires a STAGE III pressure plate and a healthy leg. Outback does not sell a traditional 2pc flywheel in the 9" size, we only offer our monolithic flywheel. This is because the price is the same. Since the 2pc welded unit is heavier, has a bearing of lesser quality, and the starter gear isn't hardened, there is no demand for the older style welded flywheels.
