Default Stalling with light flywheel?

Just installed a Greddy turbo kit onto my 96 GSR with Fidanza 7.5lb flywheel, and the car stalls on occasion when i drop the car into neutral coming to a stop. Is this a common issue with turbo cars and light flywheels? This is my first turbo Honda so it's all new to me. Otherwise I love the boost; I can see how this is going to be addicting

I think it's my flywheel because the car this turbo was originally on didn't do this, and that's the only difference; he has a stock flywheel on his GSR. It doesnt do it every time either, it seems pretty random.

Had this happen to me quite a bit especially when the weather was warmer- I'd shift the car into neutral, and the revs would drop down to like 500 and then keep going and die. I had the UR pulley kit and Jun lightened flywheel in there at the time- it kept happening so I took off the pulleys- I have never had the problem happen again so I thought it was from the crank pulley, but I also thought the fly had something to do with it.

I didn't even have to come to a stop- when I'd get on it and rev it through 2nd gear and then shift into neutral to coast, the car would die. Pissed me off so much. Good luck finding the true cause of it! Wish I knew it, I think it could happen to me again at any time, but lately I've been lucky!

JUN fly= 11 lbs. on H22a

I have the same problem with my car...and i have a 13.5lbs lightened flywheel...i think it's a matter of tuning...

I think it's a tuning issue too, and it seems to happen more when it's hot, yes. But, I've seen it bounce down to 0 and recover to normal idle, and other times it doesnt look bad at all, but it stalls. Thought it might be a vacuum issue but I've gotten on the brakes really hard and dropped it to neutral, and doesn't stall then.

The blue box isn't cutting it, going with a 2b this summer. I've just gotten used to feathering the throttle a bit when I come to a stop. It's not too frequent so it doesn't bother me much, but my wife hates it

I never believed that a flywheel would make a diff at idle until I replaced my stocker with a 8 lb ClutchMaster. It does changes things and usually somewhere in the tuning.
