I'm currently rebuilding a b16a and was wondering whether I should have a machine shop lighten the stock one or should I buy an aftermarket lightweight flywheel. I live in San Jose, CA and was wondering which machine shop should lighten it or which company I should buy a new one from. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

 

IMO, get a new lightweight one for reliability and peace of mind. I have no complaints about my Fidanza.

 

is this true, if your flywheel is too light, there's a chances where if you come to a complete stop, your revs might drop too fast where the ecu dosent catch it and your car will stall ?

 

yea you're kinda right...it might idle a little rougher because a really light flywheel doesn't produce enough enertia to spin the engine so it could stall...I've never heard of it really happening tho..

 

act

 

CM 10lb FW!!! Just had one installed last week

 

dudes, viren (b18bturbo) is running a special on ACT chromoly flywheels right now 12 lb street for 189 and 8lb pro for 209. im ordering one today! this is an awsome deal, chromoly for 200 bux!

 

if you do a lot of 1/4mi racing you would be better off with like the ITR flywheel.....well if you are N/A at least.....FI you dont really have concern with inertia b/c you are making much more torque then stock....if you do lots of autocross or road racing then light weight flywheel would really benefit you...
