00 gsr in da. i have had 2 or 3 motors in this car and they all do the same thing. i have a light 7.5lb flywheel and itll rev up really fast but it takes forevever to rev back down. my buddy has a 90 ls bone stock and it revs down in the time it takes to say "buh" i need help. im running autozone equivalent distributer everything else is stock.

 

lol, 4 years and not a single answer, LMAO

 

lol that long huh but its cuz it make no sense why it would rev down slow if anything it should slow down faster since its light

 

Stock gsr TB? Slower response. Its normal.

 

4 years. Lol.

Doesn't make much sense. Lighter flywheel should equal rev's dropping faster, not slower.

Maybe try switching to an oem distributor? Just a thought.

 

4 yrear...hahaha! wow Of course a lighter flywheel will rev up faster, but also rev down faster not slower...OEM flywheels yield better torque due to there weight, and rev match better than the lighter flywheels...Honda know what it was doing...I don't understand why all these kids buy things that they don't need, your car would be better off with a stock flywheel...Also your car is a GSR and his an LS, there is difference in stroke, Compression ratio, power out put and all sorts of other stuff buddy...your comparing apples and oranges son...4 years and OP still doesn't know how to use the search key on the top right...

 

If you have powersteering or ac its probly that

Autozone dist is not the cause.

 

i sold this car 2years ago and i found the problem, the only reason i revived this thread was to laugh that no one had answered it.

And i laugh at your "buying things they don't need" statement. a lightweight flywheel reduced rotating mass, thus making your car rev faster thus making the car accelerate faster thus reaching top speed faster thus beating your competition. and LOLZ that a stock Flywheel has more torque than a lw...

 

Negative, on both counts. Flywheel weight does not change torque output. Nor does a light flywheel make your car any faster.

I've had a 7.5 lb flywheel on my DD GS-R for 8 years now. Believe me, it is NOT any faster.

 

ive had a lightweight flywheel on the last 5 cars ive owned over a 7 year span as well, i also have one installed on the car i am driving today, and i know they make it faster, it increased throttle response as well as the other stuff i mentioned,...my stock integra in my sig at one point was a stock gsr engine with lightweight flywheel and exhaust and i was outrunning things left and right, same thing with the lsvtec i had in the car, it only made 130hp but i was outrunning gsr's and other ls/vtecs with no problems...

 

Makes it accelerate faster not go faster. Your top speed will never get higher cause a flywheel. Also too light of a flywheel can actually hurt you cause you loose a ton of rpms through shifts

 

athough i do believe you when you say the stock flywheel is easier to rev match because the stock flywheel is heavier and easier to control, secondly, i had the same build with the exception of pistons (he had p30's i had Pr3's) as him in a ls/vtec in the same car, also with a lightweight flywheel, the same 130whp i mentioned in my previous post, only difference was he made 180+/- whp...

you're just looking for an excuse to be a search troll i guess. i have no need to use the search on this subject as i don't have these issues anymore.

 

Theyy see me trollin, they hatin!

 

Rev matching is MUCH easier with a lighter flywheel. All it takes for me to rev match is a quick throttle blip, whereas with stock flywheel I really had to open the throttle for a good second to get the revs up to where they needed to be.

how's this for using the search button at the top of the page. of course light flywheels would be useless on a turbo car but on an all motor car, all they do is help, IMO

makes it accelerate FASTER, yes,,, if a car has even a slightest gain in performance, doesn't that make the car "faster" than it was?? (rhetorical question)

i guess as far as my rev match statement im talking more about an inexperience driver having more difficulty rev matching because the revs accelerate so quickly its hard to get it to match perfectly, with a little experience however, it should be just as easy/easier to do and i know it doesn't increase the top end speed, it just helps you get to the top speed FASTER, is what im trying to say.

 

maybe i should change the title of this thread to "lightweight flywheel debate" lol

 

No acceleration faster and going faster are two different things

Your top speed is how fast you go

Acceleration is how quickly you get to top speed

You usually sacrifice top speed with gains in acceleration and vis versa

There could be two cars that both top out at 200mph, but if one accelerates faster to 200 its gonna seem "faster" when in reality they are both capable of the same speed.

 

Yeah this thread is way old and has now gone way off topic. No need for further discussion here. No need for a new thread, either. Continue this in any of the other existing flywheel discussion threads if y'all want to.
