is there anyone that is using an ITR flywheel on a B16? and if so share your thoughts and expeirences about ITR flywheel vs B16 flywheel vs aftermarket flywheel (e.g Fidanza, Exedy, Toda, Spoon etc....).

thanks

 

how much weight can be shaved off a stock b16 flywheel? i hear they weigh in @ about 17 lbs...anyone have any figures?

 

i run stock 18lbs (b16a/b18c1/b17a/b18b flywheel), as well as ITR (15.5lbs) as well as shaved stock b16a to 12lbs then ran JUN/Cusco/Toda (8.5lbs) units.

basically I find the shaved 12lbs as best overall perfrmance and overall feeling in the car. the lighter JUN/Cusco units feel very well but I find it slightly too light, for the torquless b16a....

look into the ACT XACT flywheel they make it in 8 and 12lbs cost around $225shipped or so.

 

how did you go about "shaving" the flywheel? what's the process?

 

take it to a machine shop let them take the weight off /machine off the material. then get it balanced and resurfaced. about $100-150 price tag in which case it might be more cost effective and more reliable to get a XACT.

my shaved to the extreme ITR flywheel


another done by honda only shop. looks alot better then above and properly balanced as well . above flywheel might develop or loose the ring gear after a while.


TODA chromoly

 

if you're gonna replace your fly, might as well go with an aftermarket fly, and for street use, somewhere between the line of 11-13 lbs is perfect (but that's imo ofcourse).
