The heavier fly will take more energy to increase its RPM. So it will take longer to get up to the same speed as a lightweight fly (i.e. slower up hill). So a car with a lightweight flywheel will still get uphill quicker than an identical car with a stock flywheel, in both correct gear and wrong gear situations.Quote:

what is the noise that you guys are hearing? does this noise come with all lightweight flywheels? also the fidanza one is only 3.? kg which is VERY light, do u think this will offer fair gains an still be streetable?
That is correct and exactly what i was saying :)
LOL, I've been hoodwinked..... Anyway, my point was just that if you have 2 cars, one with a lightweight fly and both were going up hill in the wrong gear while accelerating, then 3 situations can arise.Quote:

Then it is as you described, the lightweight fly decelerates quicker.
2) Just enough torque to maintain speed of the stock flywheel
The stock car will only maintain its speed going uphill, but the car with the lightweight flywheel will be accelerating.
3) More than enough torque to accelerate uphill
The car with the lightweight flywheel will accelerate quicker.
si senor :)
Pienso que mantendré mi boca cerrada. :)
hahah buena idea!!!
i didnt know u spoke spanish?

The clutch was noisey... not the flywheel.. I think it should be fairly streetable
Im thinking about buy that DTM flywheel which is apparently 3.7kg :)
