ACT prolite
Fidanza
clutchmaster

I have a streetlite from ACT and i really like the one piece chromoly. the fidanza is screwed together and to me, it seem like it's not as durable or sturdy in design. it is also aluminum. what do you guys think? what are their reliability and durability? act is 100 more than fidanza. I will most likely be road racing this flywheel on a stock gsr motor.thanks HT.

 

nothing wrong with a street-lite for road racing...save your money for the gas

 

I would go with Fidanza or Clutch Masters (which is made by Fidanza). You should be able to find a good deal on one of them in the Sponsor Marketplace.

 

Since you already have a chromoly flywheel I would save the money and just keep using it. If you do go with aluminum though, the Fidanza aluminum flywheels are very durable. Another upside to aluminum flywheels is that you will never have to replace the flywheel itself, just the steel friction insert. Eventually the chromoly flywheel will get to thin to be resurfaced.

 

thanks guys. for those that have a street-lite, does it feel like a stock flywheel to you guys? i ask because that was my first impression and it still does, fueling my incentive to get something lighter.

 

I've had a 12lb Streetlite on my Prelude for about 5 years and compared to it's OEM flywheel I'd have to say no it doesn't feel like stock at all.

It feels 100x better - really helped the car come alive much more quickly than before, and I've enjoyed it so much that no Honda I ever own as a driver will be without one

*edit*
Of course that's on an 88 prelude. I believe it's stock flywheel was something like 23lbs so dropping down to 12 was a HUGE decrease in weight. GSR's I'm sure did not have such monstrously heavy flywheels from the factory.

I originally went with a 12lb chromoly flywheel, it wasn't a Streetlite, but similar. It didn't make as big a difference as I hoped, but it was noticable. It made matching revs for heel/toe down shifts easier. A bad pilot bearing made me drop the trans shortly after that and I swapped to the Fidanza 7lb aluminum flywheel since I was in there. It made a some difference over the chromoly. It only takes a quick blip of the throttle to match revs now. I also installed an Unorthodox Racing Ultra R crank pulley, that prolly helped too (only 10oz for the UR pulley vs 5.7lb stock).

 

i think i'll go with the 7.5lb. thanks everyone.

 

loved my Fidanza
