I ran into some cash and got talked into a b20vtec motor. i was advised by my tuner to get a lighter flywheel, but i didn't ask how light. Im thinking around the same area as a stock type-r flywheel, so around 11lbs correct?

What would be the lightest I could go without making the car hard to drive?

 

Stick with a 10lb or heavier.

I also heard that aluminum flywheels are kinda not so good. is this true?

Why?

 

It was something i read in another thread. It said they wernt reliable

 

I have never heard of that myself. My clutchmasters is aluminum, and I know plenty of others running the same flywheel, without any problems.

 

I suggest using a resurfaced stock flywheel instead of wasting money on an aftermarket unit. Will it rev faster? Sure. Will it make a large difference for you? Unless you're road racing or autocrossing, no.

 

well yes, but i have a 18lb ls flywheel, and im putting together a pretty nice setup. I'd like to put all nice parts on this motor, and not 1/2 *** anything!

My ideal setup would be a resurfaced itr flywheel, but i wanted to get some other opinions first before i go spening money.
