i am about to do a clutch replacement on my b16 tranny.never replace clutch before.still oem everything.while i will be changing the clutch, do i need to get a light weight flywheel since i am doing the tranny job?or stay with b16a flywheel? does aftermarket light weight flywheel make a big difference in performance?
thanks

 

i would go with lightin flywheel might as well do it while u have it apart , so u dont have to go back and change it . ya they make a big differnt on your take of especially if u dont have LSD .

 

It's very noticeable.

 

I put a exedy Organic Clutch "Stage 1" and a fidanza light fly wheel (7.5lb) on my B16 and loved every minute of it defiantly very noticeable and more fun to drive the fly wheel will free up some of the torque in our tourgueless bastard b16 lol

 

thanks guys.

 

I had a question. The lighter flywheel that you are looking into, is it aluminum or is it steel? As for your car, are you using it for daily driving, are you preping it for the track. Lastly, wouldn't a lighter flywheel possess less momentum, and put more strain on the crank shaft? (reducing the life of the endine)
