so i got a good deal on an OEM flywheel, lightened from 18lbs to 13lbs (sohc)...

i'm pretty much set to do it, about to send out the money...

people however have spoken about a lightened and balanced flywheel from exploding under extreme stress. get the flywheel to light (and thin) then i agree.


BUT... has anybody actually had it happen to them? what setup? conditon? how light??

thanks all!

A buddy of mine did it on a gsr it was fun more months but i would not do that what if your that one unlucky person that it happens. You will feel like a dumb ***. Plus why chance your investment. only more money down the road. anyway how much you getting charged

I got my OEM D series flywheel shaved to 13lbs and it still looks like its got alot of meat left... anyway ive been running this set up for about a year no probs.

i gotten my Brother Ls fly lighten to 11lbs....works great

that from what i knows only happens under extreme lightening. like 6-7lbs. stick around 13-11lbs on an oem flywheel and 99.9% of the time youll be good to go.

i had a 10.5lb factory flywheel on my d16z6, there were NO problems at all.

NineTwoSi

yup... jdm d15b!

B_CRUZ!

is it true that the cx/vx flywheels are lighter than the other d's from the factory?

boostedcivicsir

if it isnt SFI approved, chances are sooner or later if you alter the integrity, it will come apart.

AzCivic1.6

are stock flywheels SFI approved?

soHybridized

i thought about it but ended up just buying the act unit. so now i have a stock sohc flywheel for free if you want to lighten it lol. just pay ship and its yours!

AzCivic1.6

which act flywheel did you get? i got the prolite.

soHybridized

i just went with the street on mine

I'd rather just get a whole new flywheel rather than a lightened OEM one. Honda usually makes their stuff for a reason, to be able to withstand any type of abuse and to extend the life as long as possible.

I have a Toda flywheel. Revs up fast, I love it.

boostedcivicsir

i dont know what else is sfi approved, but my clutchmaster flywheel is sfi approved.

How much are you paying to have the flywheel lightened? if it's more than $200 why not just go safer and lighter and get a Fidanza? I know a guy that sells em cheap.

yeah, i got a package deal... a exedy stage II along with a 13lb OEM flywheel... $250 shipped (thanks, fake mugen power)... pretty damn good i told myself, and i have yet to meet one person with it failing on them.

besides, its not like the flywheel is under 10lbs.. i'm pretty sure the structural integrity is still present..

menkio

yea it will be more than fine. I would pass the oem up if you had over 200-230hp.. but your not really gonna be hitting that number.

Just get a Findanza, it owns imo.. Have one atm and loving it.... Sells for pretty cheap too.. Check it out.
