Default lighter wheels, lighter flyweel, no PS what can i expect?

from 17lbs wheels to 10lbs
from stock gsr flywheel to 7.5 or 8lbs
remove PS pump(planning to put the mr2 electric one later on

since there wont be anything besides alternator on my crank pulley

is there any harmonic balancers without PS and AC pulley?

CTR style harmonic ballancer is what i mean.

for the engine listed in my sig.

i just want a rough estimate to see if its worth it. power gained vs cost.

and also switching from RS machines cast pistons to forged pistons.

if i do all that how much am i looking to gain all together.
i already have the wheels.

I don't know but don't run a ctr n1 pulley, your much better off getting a new b16/gsr/itr pulley and machining off the outer 2 pulleys. Light wheels should make everything work better doe...

i know not to run ctr pulley but i dont know about machining off the oem pulley. because of how its designed.

i foudn fluidampr makes one.

and maybe honda odissey pulley might work.

lets not focus on pulley alone please.

ATI pulleys come with a removable PS pulley and you keep the damper abilities of a good crank pulley. Honestly, most of what you are gaining by going lighter weight is better throttle response and faster acceleration because of less rotating mass. You will gain some hp, but honestly probably not what you are expecting if you are just looking for big numbers; I'm sure it would feel good though as far as driving experience.

well faster acceleration is the result of more power to the ground...
i just want to know wat range of power increase im looking at after all the above is done. percentage would work too.
and im not expecting big numbers i just dont know what to expect at all. i couldnt find any comparison dynos for what im cahanging

i looked through euro forums they had few dynos but they are talking about v6 and changing from 60lbs wheels to 40 lbs wheels lol

thats not even close to what were doing here

My guess is 5-7WHP at the most.
