10 LBS or 12 LBS Flywheel for my H22A ??

I am debating wether I should get a 10lbs or 12lbs flywheel for my H22A EG Civic. What do you guys think would be best?

unless your running high HP, I would go with an 8lb.

i had a 12lb and loved it! Because if you go too light, you could loose some bottom end power.

Yeah I noticed that lol - well I guess I will go with the "inbetweener" being the 10 LBS since I am getting a good deal on either the 10 LBS or 12 LBS.

It's an XTD 10 LBS should be pretty good dont ya think? I did not really hear anything bad about XTD...

I plan on going with the fidenza 8lb once my clutch blows up.

I like my ACT 12lb flywheel. Its really easy to start up a hill and drive in traffic. Ive never driven a car with an 8lb flywheel so I cant really compare though.

what are the benifits of a lighter flywheel besides quicker reving of the motor?? Do they present any drivability issues?

and the lighter you go, the more you gotta rev to launch.
less weight = less inertia = more rev's to compensate for loss of inertia.

I must say that compared to the stock flywheel that I had on before, the Fidanza 8lb flywheel feels like butter. I am still getting used to it, but love it so far.

The manufacturer's website doesn't exist. That makes me kinda worried.

Re: (ernestoG)

All this talk.. And nothing about it..

What about those $450 or so Jun L/W (Lightweight) and U/L Ultralight weight Flywheels?

L/W = 5.5kg
U/L = 5.2kg

I'm not sure what that comes out to in lbs.. I'd have to find a converstion table.. Anyone know before I can find one??

But the real question, what do you give them?

And what do you think about them??
