Just a quick question...would lightened flywheel recommend for turbo setup?

 

Most will say no lower than 12 lbs, the reason in a nutshell is if its too light the revs drop as fast as they climb, and stop and go traffic requires more throttle not to stall out.

 

dammm...i got a 9lb flywheel in my gsr tranny...i think thats why it bogs sometimes...but its not 12lb and under is not recommended for turbo right? maybe i should put my stock flywheel back on...

 

how heavy is the spoon clutch, cause I'm thinkin about gettin that one.

 

well spoon is an all motor company ( if you havent noticed) so thier flywheel probably weighs less than 8 lbs

 

i have a 8lbs flywheel in my car
and i can feel it bog between shifts

but it revs very fast

all in all i like it

but if did it over 12pounder

 

<3 my 7.5 lb fidanza... <--- boosted

 

hmmmmmmm....maybe i might just keep the light weight flywheel in for a while...

 

lighten flywheels are great just dont get them too light. 12lbs ACT street or a stock type-R flywheel is a great choice

Which doesn't make any real difference, unless you take your foot off the gas pedal when shifting - like a woman does.

 

lots of people here wont care about this aspect but I do. lighter flywheel will decrease your gas mileage, because it requires more throttle to cruise at the same speed as a heavier one.

 

lucky i sold my 7.5 lb fidanza. i'll go for something less drastic. but i heard flywheels increace gas mileage because less stress on the motor to spin the flywheel. i think it all depends on someone's control of thier car.

Where'd you get that?

 

I've got an Exeddy lightweight flywheel on the GSR, yea it dies between shifts but I can't tell if that's the flywheel or a product of the turbo/intake manifold.. ehh it works.
