Re: lightend flywheel???? (skierGT)
I have heard that 11-12 lbs is as light as you wanna go. Someone on here has an 8lb or something real light and said its too light!

thats true the n/a guys need to worry about the flywheel more than we do. about 11lb is about the lowest i would go.The inertia of the flywheel is what keeps the car running when you engage the clutch, the lighter you go the more you will need to rev up to prevent from stalling. But your car will rev up faster and will free up some horse power cause thats 5lbs less for the engine to turn.

I thought some stock civic ones were 22lbs. anyway I say go as light as you can. It is a little different to drive but not hard to get used to especially if you have a full disc style clutch rather than a puck. I have put several 8-9lb flywheels in turbo B series with no complaints.

I'd stick with the stocker if your going boost. It should be fine. Keeps the inertia there to hold the boost longer the lightened one does.

that's the only good thing about stockers, but then again if you have a lighter one, it will build boost "faster" because you can rev faster, so its just a wash..
my theory is, get a fidanza or equally light one and just shift faster I loved my fidanza but no longer have it and am running a lightened stock one to 13.3 lbs i like it

we run the tilton twin disk.. something like 14lbs for the clutch AND flywheel together. its awesome, the car revs up like a damn F1 car. we have no problems building or staying in boost.

Re: lightend flywheel???? (lohatch)
I think the Stock GSR Flywheel weights in at a whopping 26lbs. I'm going to run a ITR on mines (16lbs.). Hope it does ok.

Re: lightend flywheel???? (rocket256)
Everyone is talking about lightweight flywheels however, the question was about lightened flywheels which makes me think he's talking about cutting some pounds off a factory flywheel. That's not the best idea. Lightening the flywheel makes it weaker and more prone to shatter.

Re: lightend flywheel???? (SoulSurfer)
i think he meant aftermarket lighter flywheels, and since he's new here, he might not know the correct terminology, or even that people do shave stock flywheels. either way i'll be getting one around 10lbs- not the lightest available but light enough to notice a nice difference.

Re: lightend flywheel???? (tilt)
I had a 7.5lb flywheel when I had a NA b16 and loved it. Stuck with the stock flywhee for boost, but mainly because I ran out of funds.
