tweakit.net flywheels?

OK, i can't seem to get an answer on this.

Flywheel, SuperLight Steel CNC Billet - 13B 6-port
Suits 13B 6-Port engines, requires 12A/13B 4-port style pressure plate.
(Generation 1-2 / Series 1-5 non-turbo gearboxes)


"Requires 12A/13B 4-port style pressure plate (RX7 1979-1983). Suit either 4-port or 6-port clutch plate."

those descriptions make no sense at all since they are contradictory.
does anyone know what the deal is here? for example, i would like to get one of these for my NA FC. do i just need a counterweight for this to work or what?
clutch and PP will either be RB or ACT for non-turbo.

seems like decent prices for those flywheels (expensive shipping though), 10.49 is quite light for a steel flywheel. there is also the option to get the flywheel Nitride treated for a minimal fee

that sounds really light for steel

the racing beat aluminum ones are somewhere around 11 pounds

and the steel ones are 15 i think

might be alittle off but thats pretty close i think

also seems wierd that they are selling a short shifter kit for more than a lightweight flywheel

that just doesn't seem right to me, but i could be wrong

so does that mean you can't use a clutch meant for a NA 13b?
so you get a clutch meant for a 12a and that will work?
