it will be fine..I know lots of guy that have machined their stock flywheel...not a problem...don't want to go too light though

I have an 8lb Clutchmaster/findenza(sp) Flywheel on a NA soon to be boosted 00Si. I do love it, but you can feel the car want to stall sometimes at red lights, but it never does. Sure it takes some getting used to, but it rips to redline.

As far as reducing weight on a stock one, I have never heard of a Honda flywheel breaking from that. On the other hand I do know it's not recommended. If you are changing your clutch and have the extra cash for the flywheel I'd say do it. If you are not, then I'd say leave it stock, until you have the cash, or want to replace the clutch. Just my opinion.

 

I have the ACT 12.5lbs (streetlite). It's great so far but I haven't tried anything lighter to compare it to. Definitely better than stock. Feels like it's just right, not too light to stall and not too heavy on the pickup.

Exactly, lower rotional weight always frees up HP

 

im using the tilton which is like under 12lbs with the the discs, pressure plate and all. I dont mind it at all, it takes some getin used to but its worth it to me fast acceleration

 

I have an 8lb CM flywheel on my jrsc GSR and it's great.

 

arrgghhh... what to do.. spend $100 to lighten stocky or how much is aftermarket? which one is more worth it?

 

I got my ACT prolite (8lbs) for $215 shipped!

 

where?

ProPartsUSA on ebay... he has an ebay store.

He has since raised his price to $235 shipped for the Prolite and now $210 shipped for the Street Light. (SOHC D series)

 

hypa, How is your car with the flywheel? Im wondering about drivability and stop and go, also how does your car idle?

 

i got my 7.9lb CM for 150shipped brand new Where to go?? H-T is where i buy my stuff.

 

i have an LS with intake, exhaust with an exedy organic stage one and type r oem flywheel (15 lbs) and i really didnt noticed too much of a difference between the two. so id go with like 9-11lbs

i ran a stock lighted 12.5 for two years on my b18c1 after running three six pucks threw it i thought it was time to get rid of it. now i run a 8.8 act and it isnt much diferent as far as day to day driving except it mignt spool faster i think i noticed more of a difference going from stock to the lighted stock at the track i lost 60' but gained mph

not worth risking it with a stock lighted just to save $100

Getting used to launching the car was the biggest issue with the light setup. It took me about a week before I had "mastered" the launch. Other than that, I love the FW. Rev matching is simple, and the motors spins like it's a GSXR1100 Idle slightly fluctuates, but I think the large intake blockage I call a blower has something to do with it.

Imho, it's well worth the money.

 

thanks for the info i just didnt want to throw it on and take it back off when i start boostin

 

8lbs flywheel here, had it for so long i can't remember the difference.. worth it ONLY IF you're removing transmission.

 

definitely faster revs. i love my cm 8lb flywheel

 

We run Tilton twin disk clutches/flywheels on all of our FI motors... Though it's not that big of a deal it is a lot easier to bog the motor, etc. just starting out... We may just have to try one with an modified OE flywheel as others have done... I'd like to see what kind of difference it makes...

 

would this apply to lighter wheels?.....to me it would seem to have the same aspect of saving rotating weight. Which, with wheels, isn't lighter usually better? Why don't we get heavier wheels........

I might be wrong....probably am (someone correct me)............just throwing some thoughts out.

 

Yes it would also apply to wheels, etc. but not all in the same sense... A few pounds less in a flywheel will help cut down on the rotational mass greatly... Just as bigger (heavier) wheels create more work for the motor when accelerating so does a heavier flywheel (but with a greater affect as it's rotating the same speed as the crank)...

 

Im glad 99% of you guys are happy with your Flywheel, but does anyone have any realistic comparison figures. Like maybe track times, or something to validate thier effectiveness?

My other ? is does a flywheel help in the same sense as a shorter geared tranny would? For example lets say you have an Ls tranny, and you swap to a gsr tranny. The car will be faster because it will accelerate quicker right, but does the lighter flywheel apply in the same sense becauase it revs quicker/acceleration? Also since it takes stress off the motor, would it actually make a little power similar to the way removing power steering has shown to make about 4-5 hp?

Anyone got some answers

you wont see any WHP gains from a flywheel...only quicker revs
