Disadvantages of lightened flywheel

Thanks for the info guys, cheers

I've got a toda flywheel, and I honestly can't think of any disadvantges. It gives you more control at any time because it decelerates and accelerates faster, you use your brake less and the whole driving experience just feels better.

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 :)

yeh thats what i've been told about mine as well
the scraping or squealing sound when taking off is my ceramic clutch

I have a 4.9kg flywheel on a DC2R, and if i were given the choice, i'd go lighter :thumbsup:

any lighter would hardly make a difference.

Its the difference between your current (4.9kg) and the stock (6+kg) that made the initial difference :)
BTW for the record i have the exedy race flywheel in my b18c7 , and i love it :)

i was under the impression that lightened flywheel in a stockish dseries is a bad idea? not enough torque.

is this baloney?

baloney IMO I had the toda lightweight ~ 3.9kg ~ on a compete stock d16a8. Worked wonders :)
A flywheel does not take away torque. A flywheel is like a giant spring - less weight is quicker to accel. and quicker to decel.It also means you must be more reliant on throttle and correct gear to keep you moving rather than coast along in gear
Think of it as the same as going from 17 inch rims to 14 inch rims.

i dont know what you guys are talking about ?? there is no such thing as torque loss with lighten flywheel.. if your car rev faster ...isnt that increase torque??

lighten flywheel is always an excellent upgrade... it will not make you car slower!!

dont believe what you read in forumns or magazine.. try it and feel it for your self..

none of the cars i modify go backwards with a lighten flywheel.. done like 5 cars with jun or ogura lightwieght flywheel.. not once has a customer say it has gone backwards(hondas)

3~5 sr20det with lighten flywheel.. they rev way quicker...

These guys just play too much video games. The only place I've seen where it states that you lose torque when going uphill with a lightweight fly is in Gran Turismo. LOL

Hey mate

i made some posts in the thread linked below, have a geez at that and if you have any questions let me know

The noise is basic a buzzing sound which occurs when i am off the gas. This is with a Today fly and sport organix exedy clutch. Kinda sounds like a racing gearbox when i get off the gas compression braking

Oh cool thanks man, i dun mind having a whiney noise, more noise to cover up my rattles also would make it sound like i got a dogbox haha :)

no worries bro
