ok, i was wondering if any here used a light weiht flywheel ? how did u like it,


i picked up a exedy 7lb flywheelused,and brandew stage 2 clutch kit for my D series all motor and wondering if to use 7lb or stock flywheel ??

 

lighter is better, but since you lessen the weight you lessen the inertia to get it moving. So you may have to give it more revs, that why many people dont prefer them on a b16 as to a b18

 

I had a 9lb flywheel on my ls powered crx and liked it. my brother had one on his ls/vtec powered crx and liked it as well.

 

I have a 7lb Fidanza on my stock D16Z6 with an Exedy Stg1 clutch and love it. It's not hard to drive with at all. It revs up really fast, but you can still let the clutch out at 1000rpm from a standstill with no problem. I've had no complaints at all. Accelleration was improved a little too. There's really no downside to this mod.

Again, driving my D16Z6 with a 7lb flywheel is a piece of cake and isn't any harder to me. I think it's easier to get the needle where you want it too.

 

GREA T AND GREAT, well i go the fly for 25$ off an old guy selling his sons parts wile hes in iraque, but yeah long story , anywase the clutch is f1 racing or something ad 7-8lb flywheel, so i hope it revs a bit quicker, and my D is 9,000K rpm built {:

 

What cam is getting you power at 9k?

 

go to bisimoto.com

and look around, i will make power till 8,100-,8500 butit can rev to 9K no prob, its all psring, evrythin that can be upgraded is, i will make build thread soon, but yeah just daiy driver,

 

Woooaah, yes please do I'd be very interested in seeing it. Will it be using 91 octane?

 

wel in rockford they have 93 so im tuning for 93 {:

 

I have a 7lbs and didn't really notice a difference from stock... I also have a 4.785 final drive so that could be why the difference really wasn't noticeable..

 

i love my Fidazna flywheel. Made a nice difference at the low and mid end as far as pickup goes in a single cammer.

 

What kind of numbers are expected?

 

fr no im goingt o say very high for a sohc, NA, yes i spent so much money i couldo had a nice ls/vtec or een a b1c swap,{{{{ BISIMOTO is expensive LOL, }}}}} , but for me its no killing somoeonein a b or h its killing an h in a D !!

build will be up soon once all parts arrive and ready for assembly, m finishing interior and body right now.

Oh littel teaser,

CBF hood,trunk,fenders,bumper,lip's,roof,doors {:
and MABEY bumpers but probabley just oem. and am leaving full interior, ...

 

I had a 7lb with a metal 3 puck and pressure plate all excedy on my B16A2 I loved the set up but I did notice that as fast as you gain RPM's you lose them the drop off is really quick. I did a decent amount of tracking with the car and noticed this to be ok but something to prepare for. I also noticed with the B16 that against B18's the flywheel helped more off the start, but around 4th I would start to get walked on. Seems like leveled off its advantages about mid 3rd gear to me. Just my .02

 

Im running a 8lb flywheel with my stage 3 clutch and I really like the lighter flywheels over stock.

 

I had problems with a lightened JUN flywheel with ACT heavy duty clutch and full face street disc on my stock boosted LS (~270whp at the time)
Kept slipping and had better luck with a stock flywheel (resurfaced of course) and kept using one even when I was built to 400whp, but upgraded to a 4 puc unsprung disc eventually.
I know its "supposed" to be an NA flywheel but figured as long as its light it would do the job, but I guess not with boost? Something to do with inertia,momentum,rotating mass of a boosted motor verse all motor?
Just my experience and don't claim to know exactly why it acted the way it did. I know plenty of people with lightened flywheels on boosted applications that loved it, i just didn't have the same luck I guess

Now with a base k24 and type-s trans I have a JDM ITR flywheel (~11lbs?) with a competition stage 4 clutch and 6-puc disc. Looking to upgrade to the CC lightened flywheel (~8.1lbs) tho and should of done it in the first place...
