i was thinkin of stuff to get while everything is still apart.. and i thought flywheel and clutch.. i am thinking of a ACT street clutch setup(cuz i loved the one in my SI) and some lighter fly wheel. i don't have any experience with flywheels though so i thought i'd see what you guys thought. what are the brands to get? and how do fly wheels affect driving? i mean i know they speed up revs.. but if anyone could tell me anything else that would be really helpful.
thanks again.

 

the revs do speed up but the loss of wiehgt reduces momentom as well. this will make your RPMS drop faster when off the gas...you dont want to go too light...

 

duuuude i got the ACT 8.2lbs flywheel i'll let you know how it drives after i fix my god damn valve problem...sometime mid week i'd imagine

 

that would be cool what fly wheel did u get? 8lbs is really light... i was thinkin 12lbs.. i dunno though.. wish i could test drive..

 

get as light as u can
<<toda flywheel. love it and will buy a lighter one when the chance arises.
my friend has a b18c5 with a 7 lb wheel thing is awesome

 

I have a fidanza, and it is real nice. Little quicker acceleration, but a hair harder to drive... I reccomend one. Ryan

 

I've got a Fidanza 3.4kg one in my B16a and it's superb, the motor spins up sooo quickly, and if you're quick with the gear changes there are no problems, highly reccomended

 

on my old crx i had an ACT HD/SS clutch with a clutchmasters 8lb flywheel and loved it until the flywheel fucked up the clutch. It wasn't that much of a difference to drive.

 

I have the clutchmasters lightened flywheel in my b16a. I think the weight is 8-9lbs, I do enjoy it but like someone mentioned earlier the revs do drop fast between normal shifting. But when your getting all over it they really don't drop that much. And you might get a little funky idle from time to time.

 

yep, that's how mine was.

 

i got a CM Stage 3 and the flywheel also...the truth:

i dont really like it...

maybe its too light but the motor looses momentum when you let off the gas with the clutch in and rpms dip past idle speed and sometimes the motor actually cuts out because it dips too low...i got it for a 100bucks used and its not my street car so its okay...

my STage 3 clutch is cool though

 

I got the act 12 lbs flywheel and like it. I mean if you dont want anything crazy then 12 lbs is fine, but if you really want something good then i say get the toda one.

 

Is it true that you lose torque when you get a lighter flywheel?

 

I know I know bringing back a dead post....BUT!.... I was searching on stuff about lightend flywheels and this question was never answered in the only thread that I found. I just figured I'd try and find out.

 

waylon i got the flywheel you need mang

 

 

haha i know, he lives close to me

 

ah I just saw that there wasn't a waylon screen name so I erased it. I figured that you probably knew him After I posted it :::::little hammer in the head dude :::::::

 

that guy

 

yeah how do you do that.

 

Like alot of the others I have a clutchmasters on a b16. The revs do drop quickly between shifts so I just give the throttle another blip before releasing the clutch to bring the rpms back up. But I do enjoy it.

 

yeah thanks. I was actually asking about the losing tourqe thing. the last question of the original thread.

 

isn't getting a really light flywheel for allmotor guys? that's just from what i heard....as for turbo, you don't want it too light though it does help you go into boost faster...but you don't want to get out of it too fast...again from what i heard, but what do i know

 

good point, thanks for bringing that up. info? still need info on the TQ too.

 

i have a b16 (going b18c) with a 7.5 lb clutchmasters lightened flywheel, screw torque, its about getting to VTEC the fastest where your powerband is. if you want torque, boost. i love mine, an it has surprised a lot of people. i have ran guys with the same mods as me, but with stock clutch an flywheel, an its really impressive how much faster i accelerate. i also have the ctr n1 crank pulley.
