As some of you may know i just got my EG H22 swap done. I had the mechanic put a 8lb Flywheel in and i don't know if that is it but it seems like my motor is off balance when i accelerate at certain speeds. Anyone ever have this problem??? TY
Alignment and wheels are good.

If the flywheel is TOO light, it affects the natural balance of the motor. Theres a reason why honda designed flywheels to be a specific weight. Personally i would never buy a flywheel under 10Lbs.

 

i was thinking that... well i guess i am going to be putting my stock one on now

Thats not the issue here though, how many people run 7.8lb flywheels and have no issues, I myself do and never had an issue. Depending on the company, you might of got a flywheel that is unbalanced. I remember awhile back a company was having issues with this.

Yea, ive heard allot of debates over flywheel balancing issues, chances are if your feeling a loss in power in some areas, you may be experiencing that issue.

 

it just feels like when you have a unbalanced tire.... it feels shaky at certain speeds but when you go faster or slower it feels fine..... ( no its not the tires haha )

Its not even about loosing power in some areas, if you have an unbalanced flywheel you will know because your going to do some damage.

Mine makes a slight shudder/shake first thing in the morning when i drive off to school or work, but i think that has more to do with that fact that i have aftermarket mount inserts, and the general humidity. Other than that, it drives just fine once everything has warmed up.


Its good that you mention that, i actually have a friend who has a JDM b16, and an aftermarket flywheel, and i realize that may be what causes his motor to shake durning certain RPM ranges; I previously thought it may be his Hasport mounts, i think i should warn him.

 

hasport mounts are awesome.... my motor doesn't move at all even when i rev it to 8K...... so it has to be the flywheel.... it just sucks i put all this stuff on before the swap was even in the car because i don't know what should feel like stock lol

Exedy stage one
Like i said, its only for about the first 30 seconds of driving on the more humid of days.

 

i am still having this problem and my mechanic looked at the balance shafts again and said they are fine. This is the only thing i can think of.
