I LOVE my 8lbs Fidanza. Here are my comments per the thread cited above:

I have a fidanza Al 8lbs flywheel, and think it to be the best, mechanical, upgrade available for the h22, in it's price range. The motor completely wakes up, its no where near as lazy, and it's not at all difficult or cumbersome to drive around town. Sure, you may stall a few times, or gently roast the clutch, but nothing you can't get used to.
I don't drag race so I can't comment on it's advantages/disadvantages; the one thing that occurs to me, not much does though, is the drop in rpm's b/w shifts is a bit greater ~ 1500 rpm b/w gears; since you've got a smaller rotating mass, it slows more quickly; however, for track use its great, can't praise it enough; however, staying in VTEC all the time is a matter not simply of a lighter flywheel, but also gear choice, etc.

A mechanical advantage, proposed by the manufacture of Al flywheels, is the reduced strain on the motor by lightenening the rotating assembly, don't know if totally agree as the flyhwheel isn't balanced w/ the crank and the rest of the assembly, but it is lighter. Anyone else have conclusive evidence?[/quote]

 

So, does it suck in stop and go traffic? I mean when you start out from a stop, do you have to rev the hell out of the motor to get moving?
Thanks

 

make sure yours has a timing mark...

 

by installing a lightweight flywheel i did not notice that big of a difference in everyday driving, it did rev a lot faster and when it was full throttle though..... i DID however notice a huge difference on how fast it revs up/down when i had the crank knife-edged. it's hard to get used to going in it now, especially after having to drive my Teg that has a stock flywheel in it

 

i love my 8lb CM flywheel its great and with my UR underdrive crank pulley it revs really fast. it took a little while to get used to at first but now its like second nature driving it in traffic, which i didn't really like in the first place, the lude likes to run you won't regret it

 

papa smurf does it have a timing mark on it... i want a 12pound really for mine... gotta have a timing markt though

 

Lee damnit, i have been over this before, the CM flywheels HAVE timing marks

 

So CM flywheels have timeing marks......

 

mine did, so i would guess that other applications would have them as well

 

yes it does

 

does the findanza have timing marks?

 

Findanza makes the CM flywheels, so iam pretty sure they do..

whats the weight of the stock flywheel? (H23, if there is a difference)

 

i think i remember it being something like 22lbs

 

love my 9lb UR

 

My CM did not have a timing mark on it.

 

I have the Fidanza and love it. Revs up much faster
I installed it at the same time I did a Quaiffe. They work very well together

 

I've got an Aasco flywheel and love it....no timing marks though

I just got my 8.5lb fidanza installed....after 3 days of hell..

I Love the flywheel...I was so pissed because of all the difficulties during install, I went for a drive and came back w/a huge grin on my face.

The motor is twice as responsive...and does not drop revs noticably farther, even if I do fall out of vtec I takes a blink of an eye to get back in..

Fidanza Flywheel gets a from me.

 

What problems did you have with install?

 

ATTS

If you have a base, it should be easy..

 

So, how does the car pull now, from a roll and a stop? Does it feel like you lost alot of Tq in lower RPMs?

 

r u sure..... they are not marked, but they have a place in the casting.... i put whiteout on the grooves of mine
