lightened fly wheel? YES/NO?

s2k flywheel is single not dual mass

a flywheel's weight smoothes out the power pulses of a piston engine...

higher torque examples such as heaps of modern diesel engines (and even mk4 supras) utilise a dual mass flywheel which is effectively two flywheels connected with a system of springs...this allows some degree of free movement of the clutch compared to the crankshaft

this has the effect of extra smoothing of the power pulses from the engine, and thus extra cushioning for the transmission...ie less wear on transmission, but more muted feel

dmf's are no where near as reliable compared to a solid single flywheel for obvious reasons

LOL, I think you might be suffering from a bit of FI envy. ;)

FI is one of the few mods for an S2000 that actually gives something more than bragging rights.

And you don't need an 'ECU and fuel accessories' or even tuning to get good results (10 times that of any NA mod). The Comptech and Vortech kits are install and drive away. And there is one going secondhand in NZ at present for $3500.

You're thinking positive displacement SC. There is only one PD SC for the S and it doesn't fit RHD (and I'm not sure they are even producing it). All the others are centrifugal so you can forget 'linear power'.

A properly set up turbo can be controlled to give much more torque in the lower rev range than a centrifugal SC and power can be as linear as you like. That however, will cost you $10-12k.

$10K-12K for a supercharger kit. LOL.

Mines fitted, with the AEM 1052U going in to be tuned next Friday, for 1/2 that.....
