EXEDY Clutch & FIDANZA Flywheel for 265$ US + shipping...how heavy is tock flywheel ???how faster would it accelerate ???? any difference in weight between JDM and AUS Transmission (Si and JDM Vtec) ??
As somebody else previously sed, when the foot is taken off the throttle, the car will slow down quicker than stock, causing a slightly more jerky feeling when on and off the throttle.
i usually use neutral when im going down hills anywayz!!
The Lighter the flywheel, the faster the car slows down and the more obvious the jerking from the moment the accelerator is off? Mmmm... I thought it has only good benefit in a sense that it gets the revs up faster, didn't know that it slows down faster too....
No you don't lose top end!!!!! You don't loose and you don't gain HP!!!! Read people please!
In drag racing terms... a lighter FW may not be the best thing as it becomes prone to bogging down when you step off the clutch. All to do with lower inertia/rotating mass in the form of the flywheel which is futher complicated and emphasised with our inevitable low torque figures on most of our Hondas due to capacity and N/A. In something with plenty torque, the issue of possibly bogging down when the tyres hook up are reduced cause you actually HAVE enough torque to get the bloody car moving.
Hope this has cleared things up a bit cause I always see threads about flywheels and losing or gaining hp/torque which is utter crap and confusion about what to expect.
I can say you dont really loose anything from having a lightened flywheel.. I have a alloy flywheel and pressure plate set-up including my clutch my set-up weigh in at 8kg.. which is about the same as a stock B-series flywheel... the car is awesome to drive at any speed and as for top end it just never stops pulling.. but then having 220+whp helps to..
I dind't mean you loose HP... just heard from people who've done it that your topend is weekened after doing it.. the flywheel is too light that there is not enough mass to propel at higher speeds ... thats all i *heard*... hence why i asked the question not stated it as fact =]

Everything you people are describing makes me think I have a lightened flywheel, my car needs a few revs to take off but accels very quickly and smoothly but I will get a jerk back if I lift off at high revs, the revs will also go up and down very fast if revved in neutral. I don't suppose there is any simple way to tell short of pulling apart the gearbox?
