Turbo w/ light flywheel or not?
OK here's the?. I'm going turbo in the future & would like to know if I should install a lightweight flywheel when I go to give the car a better clutchfor the extra load? I've been told to leave the stock f/w on the car by someone who has a pretty strong turbo car himself. I just want to know the reason behind this. Of course you wouldn't want to change the final drive to a lower ratio but why wouldn't you want to lighten the load on the crank?

They don't always help, you can go overboard, I'd stick with around a 12 lb flywheel, any lighter than that and you lose the rotating inertia and will cause revs to fall faster in between shifts.

i got the tilton and i think it weighs like 12-14 including disc, pressure plate and i love it kinda hard to engage, some times the car just dies cause theres no weight to it. but i got over it spools faster

Re: Turbo w/ light flywheel or not? (gzrmoto)
The motor will spool faster and climb rpms faster.
The only tradeoff is your 60' times will suffer unless your a hardcore racer running a good drivetrain and can build boost at the line. Also you may have a problem with the car coming to an idle from high rpms and having the a/c on isnt gonna help much either.
The best all around flywheel is definetly oem ITR.
By the way, Im selling my TODA 8 lb. chromoly flywheel if your interested

I've been running a CM 7.5lb flywheel in both my JRSC GSR and stock B20 (both with S80/lsd tranny) and once I figured out how to launch it, I fell in love. The car revs like a streetbike, heel-toe is cake, and the lower mass freed up some hp.
Imho, one of the better $300 mods out there.

Re: (hypa)
Anyone know how Indigo flywheels are? Im going to buy one with my ACT 6 puck clutch. Im turboing my D16Z6 and need a little advice. Otherwise are there any cheaper alternatives?
I've found the clutch/flywheel combo for $550.

Re: (racinskittle)

Watch on aluminum flywheels with high whp and torque levels. The aluminum tends to get stress fatigued very easily and permanent deformation can result. Chromoly is the best choice for a lighten flywheel.

Re: (boosted hybrid)
I've got a fidanza flywheel for sale, looks brand new, just had it turned because the resurfacable plates weren't worn that bad. 225 shipped, for B-series.

I got the ATS carbon clutch and flywheel for my 99 Si Turbo. Flywheel weighs about 3.6kg. I love it. If you can't afford this kit, get the Toda flywheel , I heard they are awesome. Don't worry bout idling problems. You will love a lighter flywheel especially w/ forced induction
