I was wondering what is the best bang for the buck when buying light weight flywheels.....
I do not think I'll ever install a turbo in my car or nitrous... so ... it will be NA.
I want something that gives me good ponnies to the wheel, and can still be used for everyday driving.
If someone has any opinions or has done clutch and or flywheel upgrades, let me know how the accords are doing.. aight?!?!
Thanks!!!

 

If its for daily driving I would go with a 12lb flywheel...no less. I have a 8lb fidanza flywheel and as much as I like it the rpms drop a little too quick in between gears which I suppose could be good and bad depending on your type of driving and the setup your running. I think any 12lb flywheel and an exedy stage 1 racing clutch, which is better because of the higher clamp loads but still has the stock feel to it would suit you just fine for your driving needs.

 

Thanks... ..maybe I get one of 12 pounds as you said..
But I was thinking about a stage 2 or 3, even though it has a shorter "life", it will pull harder and quicker... and that's one thing I really want...
Thanks!!!

 

If you have a f22 that is NA I dont think it would be worth the extra money for a stage 2 or stage 3 clutch unless if the engine was turbocharged. A stage 1 racing clutch will be more than enough for bolt-ons. The only difference is the higher clamp load. Stage 2 and stage 3 contain better materials that can sustain heat with less fade. There made for highly modified engines. It may pull harder and quicker but for a NA engine you can put that extra money towards something even better that serves a purpose...

 

Well.. you do have a point... and ...sure I don't think about turbo in my car... but.. I want to have it fast, smooth and still be able to drive it everyday... ....I want pulleys, clutch and camshaft and cam gear to have more power to the wheels....

Isn't there such a thing as "over-clutching"? Like putting a stage 5 on a motor w/ minor bolt ons?

 

not really...it'd still drive just like any other clutch, it'd just be harder to manipulate on shifts.

 

just make sure it is a 1 piece flywheel, i had a fidanza 8lb and the part that the clutch grabs began to crack after less than 14k miles, it thang were to break it would not be pretty. just my 2cents
