And just to add, my Tq specs look normal, maybe 3-4 off a regular reading i dunno.

best mod i have done!

 

The ACT 8.8 lb owns

 

The flywheel does make a big diff.. Ive got a SPEC stage 3 clutch and 8.5LB Fidanza...and i also love it!

But I have seen dyno's of specifically a lighter flywheel.. It helps a LOT in first gear...up to 18hp, less in 2nd...about 9hp, about 7hp in third...ect...

but i think that it helps more than a dyno shows cause i swear now that i have the fly, i may not have much more POWER....but i KNOW that i revv all the way thru the powerband quicker...

 

im rocking an 8 lb clutchmasters on my h22. if i could have got lighter i would have. But none the less, love it, best upgrade for an H22

I actually prefer stock flywheel lightend (13-16#'s)and balanced. I have know a few 8lb flywheel h22guys who have switched to stock and balanced along with myself that have picked up a tenth or two. IMO too light of a flywheel can do more harm then good so find your happy medium and stick with it. Just my 2cents

 

If you are doin drag....the lightest flywheel may not be the best option for you.. a lighter fly WILL make it seem like you lose low end torque....but i think only when launching....there is another thread about flywheels under the Prelude section you should read....good info... i think its called 'equation for launching' or something

I appreciate your feedback as well as the others that have submitted additional information on this thread.

I wanted to find out a little bit more about the option of lightening & balancing the stock flywheel. You had some numbers listed13-16#'s). What does this signify? Weight? I have heard that this has been a better option to go with as opposed to going aftermarket flywheel.

I wanted to know if any machine shop/performance shop is capable of providing this service of lightening/balancing the flywheel? I'll go ahead and contact my performance shop.

Thanks for all your help and feedback. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Yep #'s (pounds) is lbs just another way of saying it. If the machine shop you go to can not do it they should be able to point you in the direction of somewhere to get it done. It's also alot cheaper then aftermarket 8# flywheel and IMO better results along with a few other respected racers I know. Hope this helps out a little more.

 

You will feel a difference with reving up quicker, but you do lose rpms with a very lightweight flywheel. Stock is fine, even with all-motor. Think of it this way, you want to be in the deepest part of your powerband when racing. Losing rpms when you shift will prohibit this. JoeHonda hit it right on, "If you are doin drag....the lightest flywheel may not be the best option for you."

 

If this is a daily driver i'd stick with the stock flywheel.

Low end torque is teh win for daily driving

I disagree I have a stock flywheel lightend and balanced in my beater Lude forover 3 years. A flywheel should does not hurt the realiablty of a daily driver. All around a stock flywheel lightend and balanced IMO its the best way to go track and/or daily driver

 

8lb flywheel owns

 

Dont you lose torque with lightened flywheels?

M-Y-T-H! The lighter the better...but the lighter you get, the less "street friendly" your car will be. Although I have no problem driving with my 8.8 pounder

 

i used the act street-lite in my GSR. i think it was around 11-12 lbs. definately one of the best mods i got. didnt notice any loss, only goodness came from it. Id say that the whole torque loss is a myth also. Im gonna switch from the 25+ to 11 lb flywheel in my 240 and have some fun.
Just get the lightest and youll see for your self.

you will gain killer acceleration with an 8lb flywheel... if you want it to rev really slow and make 2-3 more ft lbs of torque , stay stock. The drivability thing is a myth. I daily drive my civic and had no problem adjusting to it. If its too hard for you to adjust your driving style to accomidate a faster acceleration, maybe you shouldn't be driving std

 

I need to get one....I liked it on my B series but I think I'll like it even more since my H22 has more tq than my B18C1 had (25 ft lbs more).

 

8 lbs here. On my daily driver, and I love it. Lighter flywheel makes the motor much more responsive. The only advantage the stock one offers is more rotating mass on the drivetrane that keeps momentum longer between shifts for drag racing. Personally I say the lighter the better. Don't buy one to see improvements in 1/4 times, it won't change much. Get one if you want your motor to be more responsive (revving both up and down).

This is why I say get a stock flywheel lightend and balanced its the best of both world IMO. Everyone has the own views on it. Just my 2 cents

 

what does it cost to have a stock flywheel lightened and balanced properly?

 

It costs $75 at a local shop here.

what do they drop the weight to?
