any accord owners using a lightened flywheel?? i just ordered a 9lb fidanza flywheel with my new clutch. how do you like the lightened flywheel? any drawbacks?


and post what engine you got, mine if for the f22b2
accords only please

 

excellent especially if u eventually go boosted ! ! i installed mine over a yr ago now and highly reccomend fidanza - no issues so far !

 

most people would agree that lightened flywheel is not such a good idea to get a lightened flywheel with boost. mostly useful for allmotor applications. the extra inertia of the heavier flywheel is better for n/a applications from what i hear...

I think it is the other way around. Less rotational mass keeps it spinning faster between shifts to stay "higher" in the power band. A lightened flywheel might be better for boost, again because it keeps RPMs a touch higher, giving better spool

 

&lt;-- has lightened flywheel on h22 and it's bad ***

 

You should have done a write up for your swap

How much of a difference would you say it is on the butt dyno? I rode in my friend's JDM B16 with a stock wheel than lightened Fidanza and there wasn't a super difference. B16s are also the torqueless monsters too though so.....

what? you already swapped? pics please.

i'm doin the fidanza flywheel + act clutch on my upcoming swap.. i expect good results.

 

i have a boosted f20b with a 9lb fidanza flwheel and ACT clutch...and let me tell u, the flywheel makes so much of a difference its not even funny. u can immediately see and feel how quick the motor revs, even wen i had the motor N/A, it still made a big difference deffinately go for it bro

just got her back this afternoon

pics tomorrow from a friend (he has a nice camera + tripod)

 

word, i expect a thread homeboy.

^^^I hope you were joking ... this is definitly wrong !

This is correct ^^^

For one to build boost requires higher RPMs. The faster you can get up the RPM's, the faster you are hitting full boost. A lot of boosted setups run a lightend flywheel, and yes there is a night and day difference.

Just get a nice clutch and get the flywheel and you'll defintly enjoy the new feel of your car. I installed my Fidanza w/ a Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch, and like i said in my prev post. No problems and over a year worth of abuse.

you best believe there will be one

i gotta work out a few kinks

1) i believe is related to coolant (surging idle)
2) gotta get a ps bracket
3) picking up a vafc this weekend most likely

My old setuf was f22b1 with the same as neke1point0 (6 puck ceramic clutch), and it was very nice, quicker revs, car seemed much lighter, better response.... i was very pleased with them!

wrong! less mass allows it to rev up quicker, but it also allows it to drop revs a whole lot faster (for example, like while in neutral between shifts). thats one of the reasons flywheels weight as much as they do, the rotational inertia keeps the crank spinning between power strokes. theres are pros and cons with getting a lightweight flywheel, go too light and you may have shitty idling, weird shifts due to revs dropping way too quickly (aka you cant shift fast enough). a light flywheel is also desirable to more experianced drivers for another reason, because it makes it alot easier to rev match, bliping the throttle becomes alot more responsive, and they dont have to wait as long to let the revs drop to where they want it before engaging the clutch.

actually, no...engine load (or more correctly, thermal expansion) is what spools a turbo, not engine RPMs or exhuast velocity.

 

Danm boy.... pos_cd5.. nicely said!

ditto....Pos you been reading up havent you

not hign wrong with a lightend flywheel..the only problem I've heard is of some of the no name chepo brands breaking

Nice! Thermal expansion lol

How does exhaust velocity have nothing to do with it? I agree with you 100% about the engine load, but as RPM's go up, exhaust temperature/movement usually does as well; to an extent. I'm [I]pretty[I] sure that is what I read about thermal wrapped or coated manifolds, downpipes, and turbines - the increased temperature led to better spool characteristics.

Turbos are too confusing

 

N/A F22 F1 11.5lb flywheel Exedy clutch DX trans. 3rd gear's quicker.
Awesome Acce. The only prob with the cheap flywheel is that I cant drop the clutch from a stand still past 4k rpm...It just wont catch. Full throttle shifts tho

 

I bought the stage 3 6 puck clutch and flywheel set up for my f23 before it got flooded out, you guys are really making me wish i had got it in.
