im goin from a b16 tranny to a gsr tranny....i no the gsr os longer but i like it better....if i get a lighten flywheel will it make up for the long gears? ive heard with a lighter flywheel it will rev up quicker but in top end it sucks is that true?

 

anyone?

 

I think it like the knife-edge crank. Its a theory.

 

i have an lsvtec swap....sum people say b16 is the best(obviously the type r one is best) one for an lsvtec...after alot of runs my tranny starts gettin rough.....should i just save and buy an itr tranny or get this b16 one fixed?

No.

 

Lightened flywheel should be mandatory for a serious NAer.

 

Im running a fidanza 7.5lb in my R, and ill never look back to stock i actually would go lighter

 

so u recommend me puttin a lighter flywheel in a gsr tranny? i like the si tranny cuz everytime i shift im on vtec....but i like the gsr tranny cuz its better for highway....so if i put a lighter flywheel in the gsr tranny will it make up for being a bit longer than the si tranny?

 

wats a good flywheel i can put in a gsr tranny 2 make it rev quick like the b16 tranny....is the toda one the best?

 

They're all pretty much the same, just different weights. The lighter you get, the faster the engine will change revs, both up and down. I have a Clutchmasters on my B18, which is 12 lbs, and fits my style perfectly. I find when I shift, the revs drop right to where they will be in the next gear, making the car very smooth to drive. My friend has a Fidanza on his B16, which is 7 lbs. I find it personally to be too light, as the revs drop too fast and you get a little lurch when you shift, but it's partly due to me being used to the heavier one. I still think you have to shift a bit too fast to drive the 7 lb flywheel smoothly, but it's all personal preference.

Do <U>NOT</U> lighten the stock flywheel.

 

so wat weight should i buy 2 put in my gsr tranny 2 equal it 2 a b16 tranny?

 

It will never be equal, it doesn't really work that way. There's no magic formula to make it accelerate the same. Just get a lighter one, trust me, it will be better.

 

what do u think of 7.5 or 8....i really dont know wat the flywheel does....i just know it makes u rev quicker.....

 

i was reading here on a thread and they were talkin about changing there staters....if i put a fidanza flywheel will i need 2 get a different starter other than the starter on the gsr.....should i keep the b16 starter and put it in the gsr? does it make a difference....help me b4 i get rid of it with the starter......

 

All the flywheels use the same starter.

 

Get between 9-12lbs for a good balance. I have the Toda unit, its about 10lb. Revs quickly and no torque trade-off.

 

yea but i read on HT that sum guy put a spoon flywheel with a itr starter and it ran like crap....then he put a b16 starter and it ran better........
