Exedy Lightweight Flywheel – Subaru Models (inc. 1998-2001 Impreza 2.5RS)

Exedy Lightweight Flywheel, 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS / Forester

The Exedy Lightweight Flywheel for the 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS and Forester reduces rotational inertia on the EJ25D naturally aspirated platform. The chromoly steel flywheel is lighter than the factory unit, improving throttle response and engine character on these EJ25-powered applications.

DETAILS

• Material: chromoly steel
• Lighter than OEM cast iron
• Improved throttle response
• Engineered for EJ25D Impreza 2.5RS and Forester
• Fitment: 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS / Forester

The 2.5RS is a foundational Subaru performance platform, its naturally aspirated EJ25D rewards mechanical improvements that enhance its high-revving character. Reducing flywheel mass is one of the most effective ways to improve the feel of a naturally aspirated engine, making the throttle response more immediate and the engine more willing to rev.

On a naturally aspirated platform, the flywheel reduction is felt more immediately than on a turbocharged engine where boost masks some of the response characteristics. The 2.5RS owner who has driven with the OEM flywheel will feel the difference in how readily the engine climbs through the RPM range.
