Flywheel question:D16A6 all rusted and stuff what should I do??
Just picked up a D16A6 Si motor and Si tranny yesterday for my minime boost set up.When I pulled the clutch I noticed the flywheel is rusted up pretty good.Should I swap it out for a lightened flywheel,resurface it (how much will that run me) or is it ok to run as is??? Thanks for helpin me out!! I cannot wait for boost!!!

I'm interested too, I'd like to know how much it cost for a resurface or to have a couple lb shaved off the stock one vs an aftermarket flywheel.

i wouldnt, its too much work to pull the tranny off because you didnt want to spend a few dollars to get it resurfaced.
might as well see if you can get it lightend a few pounds while your at it.

Hey man, I live right near you (Durham) and I have a few CRX flywheels kicking around...

i have ran em rusted...
they end up getting "re-surfaced" by the clutch anyway...
it might waste the clutch slighlty more then normal, but thats it i had no issues with it...

Re: (d16vtecx)
I may just buy a lightened one,any idea how light you can go before having to cross your fingers.Because I have heard of them being to light and shattering.This will be eventually a boosted motor so is it safe to run a lightened flywheel boosted???

its safe, but i'm a fan of stockers.
i ran a LIGHT one (8 lbs i think) on my 300.08 hp/250 wtq a6.
took it off because i wanted the heavier factory one for driveability with a crazy clutch.

with that sort of power, no need for a lightened flywheel. i would have done the same.
for NA cars, i love lightened flywheels.
