Who in here has a lightened flywheel and compared to your stock flywheel, how much faster does it actually rev to the higher RPM's? If it worth the $300 or not? I mean is the difference very noticable or just a little?

 

To add to this question...how many people have lightened their stock flywheel? is this a bad practise (too weak?)

 

Uhh I don't think it should cost 300 to lighten your stock flywheel. It only cost 100 cdn for my brothers. It revs a bit faster, and if you have to machine it anyway, it's probably worth it. Just make sure it gets balanced as well.

 

He probably means being an aftermarket one...

 

yeh you're probably right... I don't think a 300 dollar US flywheel is worth it though. Save the money for nitrous

 

Has anyone had trouble with a stock flywheel that has been lightened? Does it make it too weak? How much can you remove safely?

 

i have a lightened stock flywheel. i am a bad person to ask about this though as i didn't remove all that much weight from it. i probably took a pound or 2 off it. i never weighed it as i really didn't care that much.

i rebuilt my bottom end, so when i had everything balanced i had them take a little off the outer edge of the flywheel.

 

All I hear is good things about Lightwieght Flywheels.

-Best mod for the money
-Our motors are Rev happy anyway
-Makes driving more fun
-and so on...

Can't wait to get one

 

i have the Zex ultra light(whick they quit making) and i love it...reves much faster...i think the Zex ul weighs 9.2lbs or so...

 

what is the stock weight any how? does it still idle smooth

 

idles smooth as can bei think stock weight is like 17-19 or something(someone correct me if i'm wrong)

 

cool, thank you

 

i have an exedy chromoly flywheel on my b16 hatchback. my car revs noticably faster in the lower gears than it does in my del sol w/ b16 that is stock. drivability is not any different either..

 

I want to get an aftermarket flywheel, what is some of the best ones out their and where can i get them? Website address or phone number, thanks.

 

I just ordered my CM from lightning motorsports - $299 + shipping.
They sent me UPS generated tracking #,
and it got here in two days!
They had goods sales rep. too

 

I would go with cutting down your stock flywheel its alot cheaper. I have a first gen Si. I think stock was about 14.5 lbs and it has been cut down just under 8 lbs. I did this 4 years ago and have had no problems and its been resurfaced twice for new clutches. I autocross and hillclimb and the acceleration is noticable. Also it revs very quick to help match rpms when down shifting fast.
