i'm not sure if this is the right place to be postin but.. i need some opinons on lightened flywheels.. i have heard different stories on them.. are they realli good for the motor.. i was thinkin of gettin one, but i didn't want it too light.. i'm thinkin like in the 14 to 15 pound area.. or even the 11's.. but let me hear what u have to say..

 

definently get one. If you are going to get one get a real light one. I got a JUN one in my car and i love it. You'll be amazed with the acceleration you'll get. You won't be disappointed.

 

I have a clutchnet in my b16 and i LOVE it. it flys to the redline and the rev drop on the shift is perfect
i got it from ben@importparts.com http://www.importparts.com

 

you can do a stock flywheel remachined to 14lbs and balanced and not worry about it warping and 14lbs wont make you lose that tq a 9-8 will.

 

i had a 14 lb lightened oemflywheel in my ls... awesome. i just bought an exedy CHROMOLY *which unlike aluminum, is NOT prone to warpage* flywheel that is about 10 or so pounds. If you lighten your OEM flywheel, it's a good idea to stay away from NOS or any serious levels of FI.

thanx for all the replies.. how was thinkin of maybe gettin a type R flywheel.. any comments on those??

 

the ITR flywheel is not much lighter than stock, just get a good aftermarket 11lb or so. but the ITR flywheel is a very good flywheel.

 

I too have an exedy chromoly flywheel(9 1/2 lbs I think) - have had it for almost a year, and its awesome. I love the not only the fast rev drop between shifts which is perfect, but also when down shifting, you can quickly stab the gas to get the revs up then drop to a lower gear, in an instant.

I highly recomend. Although from what I hear if you go with aluminum instead of chromoly you should definetely look into a scattershield.
