Stalling out at stoplights with 7 lb flywheel?
I just bought a 7 lb flywheel from clutchmaseters a week ago. Well, one of my friends told me to return it. He said that when i stop at a stop light, sometimes the RPM will drop low and the engine will stall out. Is this true?

thats what i figured. Theres no way jsut by having a flywheel your revs will just cut out. something else might be wrong rather thant that.

yep,can be true and b18bturbo and jimmie d are wrong cause weight of the flywheel helps the engine stabilize its idle when u lift off of gas,its a fairly easy fix tho,just raise the idle like a hundred RPM.

Check out strng1dah's site.Look at the bottom, he says that
"The only negative comment I have about this flywheel is that it is so light sometimes when coming to a stop the rpms will drop too low and the car will stall. Not that big of a deal but a slight inconvienence."
Damn, if thats the case I might end up returning it. I dont wanna stall out in a turbo car at every stop light, haha.

Tis' pretty. I think I'll keep it and if it does stall out, I'll change it out to 11 lbs or something.

no ! well,since your only 19,you still got a lot to learn yet.
I installed a clutchmasters 7.5 lb flywheel with a clutchnet clutch on my brothers integra, and seeing as how I ride in his car fairly frequently, I think this is something that I know. Its called firsthand experience champ. And I know multiple other people that run 7.5 lb flywheels with no problems.

no your getting me all wrong. I know how a flywheel works and the effects it has on a motor, I am not trying to argue that with you.
--> what i was saying is that the motor, with a 7lb flywheel, works perfectly fine without any adjustment of the idle, and it will not stall. This is from my first hand experience with them, and the people that i know. <---
done.

Re: Stalling out at stoplights with 7 lb flywheel? (1)
The only problems I've heard about flywheels that are too light is that they can kinda be a pain in the behind on those colder mornings when trying to get your car to crank over.

the only problem i can think of is...
if you're making a lot of power, the aluminum can warp because of the heat. Cromoly is the best way to go.
