hi,

i m goin to put a gsr tranny on my ls vtec (i m using a ls tranny ) i would like to know if a flywheel 8.8 lbs is good for a street use or if it s too light ...

let me know, thx

 

can't tell you unless you drive one...
is different for everyone... some found 12lbs is too heavey, others found 8.8lbs is too light...

but i'd say 12lbs is good for daily drive i mean.. ITR is 16lbs (if i recall correctly)

 

but more your flywheel is light ...more you loose torque no ????

i m just trying to really understand...thk u

 

you lose no torque when getting a lighter flywheel, you simply allow the engine to rev quicker. its kind of like putting really light wheels on your car... same ****

ummm yeah u do lose torque when u put in a lighter flywheel becuase it doesn't have the extra inertia to spin the wheels. lighter flywheel = less torque, but faster revving, heavy flywheel = more torque, slower revving
