hello guys,

im currently working on my h22 build and an sc61 turbo. i have a 9lb fidonza flywheel i was running, should i use this flywheel? please let me know

 

no one has any advice?

 

I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't use a lightened flywheel on any street car, especially with a 4-banger. The flywheel is heavy for a reason, to dampen out the harmonics associated with the 4-pot's excessive power lapse. 10 hp isn't worth cutting the lifespan of an engine in half.

Please stop talking out of your ***. A flywheel has nothing to do with the "harmonics" that an engine experiences, and it won't shorten the life of the engine one bit.

Do the ltw flywheel - I love the TODA flywheel on my SR20DET. Makes heel and toeing a breeze.

 

i usually would just ignore this post, but honestly, if you search for "flywheel" in forced induction and click the archieve, you will get 32 results, of which prolly 25 answer your question.

Lightweight flywheel = go through the rpms faster, so you will spool faster to.

the reason some people like the normal weight flywheel is cause its easier to daily drive on. (with a heavier flywheel, its harder to stall, because the weight slows the dropping of rpms)

but i was used to my flywheel in like 3minutes. hope this helps.

I installed a lightened flywheel on a 91 MR2 turbo and it was stalling easy on decel from neutral revving. had to increase the idle about 250 rpm.

Crack&gt;You

 

i think it really matters about the drivers wants. Alot of people say no, then alot of people say do it. I have a 7lb in my na and I love it. I drove a boosted miata with a 7lb and it felt awesome. Little different to drive until you get use to it, but nothing bad.

Just remember that revs go up faster, but they also fall faster. Of course if you can shift fast then that wont be a problem.

 

fidanza does not have a 9lb flywheel, its an 8lb, i have a clutchmasters flywheel, and i love it, just takes a little getting used to, the idle issues, just adjust the idle, its gonna take a couple of times before you get it right

 

i have act prolite--wouldnt buy another--for what they cost, not worth it IMO

 

so we are saying yes? i have it, i think im going to use it! thanks

guys
