Maybe flywheel problem
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.

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.

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.

Re: Maybe flywheel problem (97Ej6mike)
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.
