Just need some quick sage advice,

I'm planning on replacing the stock clutch in my GSR with a typeR clutch kit and resurface the flywheel. But if I wanted to go with a lightweight flywheel like exedy would it still work well with the typeR clutch, or should I just stick with OEM flywheel?

Any advice would be awsome, thank you.

 

Light flywheels shouldn't cause any problems with your clutch. I use the ACT and it's worked fine with a number of different clutches. You don't gain much over OEM, maybe a little faster engine response, but it's harder to launch from a stop. I've got a light flywheel and a 4-puck clutch and people look at me like I'm a dick when I rev it up to get moving from a stoplight, but if I don't then it will stall.

 

Yea use light flywheels for autox. If you don't plan on autox, probably not worth it unless you race from a roll.

 

Interesting, alright I'll have to think about it. In the future though I plan on installing cams and cam gears and port polishing the head which will obviously add more HP. Will having a lighter weight flywheel overall benefit by letting more HP flow to the wheels and at a quicker rate across the rpm range?

 

Your revability will be quicker, but it's not really going to allow you to move faster through the RPM range. When the clutch is not engaged, the engine only has to turn that flywheel, when the clutch is engaged, it's rotating the tires and pulling the car as a load. Taking a couple pounds off your flywheel will not make you travel through the RPM range faster with the clutch engaged.

 

A heavier flywheel also helps maintain RPM's between shifts.

 

ALSO DOING BURNOUTS WILL BE DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE ON DRY PAVEMENT DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH HP YOU HAVE AND HOW LIGHT OF A FLYWHEEL U PICK.

 

Awsome, thanx for all the feedback guys, I think I'll go ahead and stick with resurfacing my current flywheel.
