Is a light flywheel recommended with a turbo app? Do most of you run with a lightned flywheel? I have turbo LS right now and can't decide to get one or not.

 

I do. Rotational mass is bad mmm kay.

 

i love lightened flywheels. both my car's have them.

 

Ive ran a lightened fw on 2 turbo setups and 2 na setups. Nice to have but not necessary imo. Your car will feel livelier and much easier to downshift/revmatch.
+1 to your car's funfactor.

To a point. But having your engine's RPMs drop below your next shift's "sweet spot" sucks. I have an ACT streetlite flywheel in my EM1 and love it.

 

Yup I have a streetlite in my b16..I'm piecing together a turbo kit.

If your car is a daily driver and you are going to be boosting I don't recommend going under 11 lb though...of course some people call me a ***** cuz I wouldn't want to drive a 6 puck clutch, 7 lb flywheel, and 20 lb of boost on the street.

you lift when you shift??

 

Fidanza in my Y8, i think it weighs about 6.5-7 lbs...sooo much better

 

Its funny how people say your revs drop quicker with a light flywheel, but im running a Fidanza with an ACT clutch and i didnt experience this. It revs up quicker for sure, but the RPMs drop the same to me...

 

stoch is right i have a Fidanza ill be putting in my turbo setup just be sure to locktite the bolts.

I think its because the people who say this dont actually own a vehicle with a light fly or their vehicles are untuned and they blame poor idle/stalling on the flywheel. I have the Fidanza 7.5lb and the drawbacks are so minor they just require a slight adjustment in driving style if any.

 

landing point is based on mph...not how "fast the revs drop"

 

I had to increase the IAC duty cycle like 10% when i installed my 9lb flywheel. Other than that, It's been a great modification.

 

will help alot on the heel-toe.

 

i dont worry about sweet st dont let off the gas and slam through gears keeps boost too

very well put muckman

 

Thank you

 

I'm turbo LS and I have an OEM flywheel lightened and balanced at 11 lbs. I absolutely love it.
