lightweight flywheels


using spoon flywheel (4.155kg) with semi race exedy cluth. works fine for daily driving..
 
I can't see the thread there... what flywheel are you talking about?
 
8lb/3.6kg flywheel user before and it was beautiful. IMO, the lighter the better.
 
the engine revs so fast !!
so light fly is dangerous for the engine or tranny ?
 
i have this fly wheel in my k20, seems fine to me, certainly helps it rev round quicker.
 
run one for 3-4 years now, maybe its just me gettin old but find it a little annoying for daily driver now, certainly helps though if when mid/high revs

What is annoying about it?
 
more revs needed to set of, decelaration harsher when letting of throttle, revs drop quicker

Dam it LOL

What weight is the one you are running?

So many confusing comments, I might just stick to OEM and save some money!

AH, some people say this, then some people say its not as bad as you just made out, now I dont know what to do lol....
 
for track use definately the lighter the fly is the better as u rev faster, tho for a daily drive ur well of by slightly improving rev speed with something lighter than stock.

Really its up to personal use... ive used lighter flywheels than my current Excedy 9.7lb e.g fidanza, act, on m8s eks and luv them too...

If you want performance, there will be some compromises to be made.

This is no different than lowering your car - you have to expect that the car might scrape, the ride will be stiffer and your tires might wear sooner (as you'll be cornering faster)

I can't speak for anybody's personal preference but having gone to a flywheel that's 8lbs/3.6kg and with an ATS clutch (the complete assembly 50% lighter than stock flywheel/clutch) - I've lived with the compromises and it is FINE... you just have to ADJUST and ENJOY the new found performance and BRILLIANT response.

Personally after having driven cars with lightened clutches/flywheels, I found the stock cars unresponsive and downright boring to drive. It's a 4 cylinder rev happy Honda...and it should feel like that. If you want it to be comfy - get an auto V6 :p

Of course if you want the best of both worlds, get a unit that's 12lbs/5.45kg and don't complain when the money you've spent doesn't seem to deliver as much "gains."

Personally for a daily driver, 5.45kg may be a very good compromise. I would expect not to gets as much gains from a lighter flywheel, but would also expect the declaration, rev drops between gears changes and hill starts not to be too harsh compared to a lighter wheel?

What is wrong with compromises when it comes to street driveability?
 
I'll look into the SPOON one too, see how cheap I can find one!
