Just a quick one,

What flywheels are you boosted guys running ?

I'm debating whether or not to run a stock flywheel on my new setup over a light weight flywheel. I'd imagine having a bit of weight there may benefit us boosted guys ?

Thanks for your time

 

ive been using the factory type r flywheels for the past few years. i think they are around 12lbs, definately lighter than the regular b series ones. i chose them over aftermarket lighter ones due to awesome oem quality. if you look around you can usually find them for between 50 and 100 bucks, i think i got both of mine for 50 or 60 each

 

Stock for boost, it keeps you from droping out of boost

 

myth.

get a ball bearing turbo and you dont have to worry about "falling out" of boost. besides, a 12.5 lbs act does a good job anyways. even when you add heavier rods and a tougher clutch, its not that big of a difference anyways.

12.5 is what i run

 

Flywheel weight has nothing to do with falling out of boost.
I run the Fidanza 7.5lbs flywheel and Im kinda sick of it but I deal with it.

 

Well I thought they were 14lbs. But whatever the weight, they sure are an upgrade to the OEM gsr or b16 one. I'm all motor and I like mines. I thought of putting a 10lb one but with the type r one on my setup it revs quickly and I didn't lose ANY torque. So when I hit the gas I'm actually moving somewhere instead of revving and spinning while moving nowhere! Good luck!! ^__^

 

I am running the comp billet flywheel the 12.5lb. I have a gt35r so ball bearing it doesn't drop out of boost.

 

im using 12.5lb from the last several years those are good

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I've got my hands on a stock tyre r flywheel for a good price so i'm just going to use that.

 

Ah bollocks, I just sold a chromoly flywheel for cheap as I replaced it with a os giken twin disc.
