opinions on clutch and flywheel please

[paul_os]

well ill be ordering a new clutch in the next few days and was thinking of going for an oem type r clutch and keeping my oem ITR flywheel which im told is already pretty light (12lbs).

The engine is a standard b16b and gearbox is an s4c with a 4.7fd.

Im also considering going for a stage 2 clutch and an exceedy lightened flywheel but from what iv read it seems there is not much benefit to be had with in a road car with under 200bhp (open to correction).

Just want some opinions from people who have tried both because I dont fancy making the wrong choice, changing my mind a few months down the road and having to take the box out again. keep in mind this is mainly for road use.

thanks for reading,
Paul

Lighter flywheel is one of the best mods you can do , Honda dc2 clutch and the exedy flywheel is great , have them myself

not sure on the weight of the itr flywheel, But if your replacing the clutch i'd put in a lightweight flywheel at the same time. iirc the clutch from the itr is the same for the ctr and is more than capable of handling 200hp.

what weight flywheel would you reccomend? 4.5kg? is it not a pain for daily driving

 

[Darragh]

The exedy is perfect , think its around 4.9kg iirc and cheap enough new.

You might have to give it a few more revs taking off but I dont think you would notice any negative difference when putting in the 4.7FD aswell

Looking for a flywheel in that weight group (5 kg). Any link to the Exedy 1? Thanks

Anything around 4kg is perfect for everyday use
