im putting a tranny in my car soon... i got the tranny on my work bench i was just wondering how many people out there have lightened flywheels and what brands/weight/and experiences you have had with them...and if you think they are honestly that much better than stock

 

Fidanza, ACT both have good lightened flywheels those are the only ones I have used personally.

there is a fidanza on ebay now... buy it now for 158.88 and 8.95 shipping... i wish the holidays didint have me broke

 

F1 racing 8.5lb I couldn't compare differances between the stock flywheel and the lightened flywheel since there was 5 months in between driving the car when I upgraded. It seems like it revs up and alot quicker then stock b16s. The revs drop rather quick, I will probably switch to a Fidanza 12lb flywheel next time i'm in there.

 

I would agree with CRXB16T if this is going to be a sole street car get a 12lbs or even look for and ITR flywheel. 8lbs is really lite on the street and it revs up fast the revs drop fast too.

 

And please do not lighten the stock one.... unless you wanna kill someone and total your car

As long as you stay within reason and keep it balanced you will be fine.

I have the 8lb XTD one. Found it on Ebay and it was cheap. 8 months and now problems with it. I would never use a stock weight one again.

 

Does anyone have any hard facts not just heresay about the claim "It takes 40hp to spin a stock flywheel." Is that just a myth, or is there any real dyno tests to back that up?

I think its a preferance thing some might like how fast it moves. I would agree more room for "error" alot of people would like this on a dail.y

I ran an 8.8lb snd I felt it was much nicer then 12lbers i've driven on.

Clutchmasters 8.8lb did great for me

 

i got an exedy, 9.5 i believe. i love it. i wish i could go lighter. motor revs like a champ. everyone i let drive my car says the revs go up so fast and it just pulls. best mod i ever did so far

 

bought the whole kit from xtd works great 8lb one with six puck clutch i spin the crap out of my slicks took the air down to 10psi on my m&h 24.5x8.5 13 and enjoyed the ride 8.0 @88.53 1.73 60ft
