Re: my tsx turbo project
On turbo project it is not wise to install lightweight fly wheel. It should be as heavy as your turbo can feed. I don't believe that your turbo setup is so weak that you have to install lightweight flywheel.
Or I missed point of you project?

On second hand it is not rally car ... do what ever want. On 4 wheel drive you loosing inertia and engine + wheels stop spinning faster in corners, what my result in crash. So you need flywheel heavy enough to keep inertia, but also so heavy that your turbo can feed it. But on front wheel drive ... most probably it is not so important.

Re: my tsx turbo project
he makes a legitimate point- a heavier flywheel will spool a turbo quicker as it puts the engine under greater load. however, on such a high revving FWD car, it isn't really a problem to have a lightened flywheel.

+1 a lighter flywheel makes it harder to get off the line because there isn't as much inertia from the heavier flywheel

Just installed the CAN connector to the DLC connector for the 07 Ecu to be programmed tomorrow. It's a pain in the *** . Took about 45 mins

-1 I have a lightened flywheel on my turbo ITR. It made it rev faster, and didn't affect spool at all. And the starts are the same as stock
