Spec 12-17 Fiat 500 Abarth 1.4T Aluminum Flywheel

Machined from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, this SPEC flywheel is designed to reduce rotational mass in your Fiat 500 Abarth's drivetrain. Reducing the weight of the flywheel means less inertia for the engine to overcome when accelerating, which can lead to a noticeable improvement in how quickly your car picks up speed. This is especially true for the 1.4T engine found in the 2012-2017 Abarth models, where quicker revving can make a significant difference in spirited driving.

SPEC has focused on creating a well-built component that balances weight savings with the demands of a performance clutch setup. The aluminum construction not only sheds pounds compared to a stock cast iron flywheel but also helps dissipate heat more effectively. This can be beneficial during repeated hard accelerations or track use, helping to maintain consistent clutch performance. The flywheel is precision-machined to ensure it runs true and mates properly with your clutch assembly, which is crucial for smooth engagement and long-term reliability. It's important to note that while this flywheel offers improved acceleration, it will also change the way the car feels at lower RPMs; you might notice a bit less "mass" when starting from a stop, and the engine may drop revs more quickly when you disengage the clutch.

When installing this flywheel, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's specific torque sequences and procedures to ensure proper seating and prevent any potential issues. You'll also want to ensure your clutch disc and pressure plate are in good condition, as this flywheel is designed to work with a performance clutch setup. This SPEC aluminum flywheel is a solid option for Abarth owners looking to enhance their car's responsiveness and acceleration characteristics.
