Re: Light Flywheel + turbo = sucks??
i got 11-13 pound flywheel in my b16. i spin the tires and bounce off the rev limiter to much so its hard to tell hahaha. i use to have a stock flywheel but i changed my whole set up so i cant tell you one or the other. i dont think you would notice to much of a difference but the rule is the closer to stock wieght the better. turbo's going to be making your rev's fly anyways so no need for a lightened flywheel unless your going for lower power levels.

When I changed my clutch on my B16 setup, I went to a 11pound act fly wheel. I would say it is good, I can go through the rpm's much faster. On the down side traction has become an issue in first and 2nd gears but I like that. I like it better than the stock flywheel w/turbo. But yah the rpms drop faster in between shifts but you get useto it and I don't think it is an issue.

I think alot of this is personal preferance, if you like to shift really quick all the time, a light FW will probly be to your liking...but if you want the motor to stay spinning a little longer when you push the clutch in, use a heavier one.
Light = Quick spin-up but also quick spin-down of the motor
Heavier (11-13lbs or stock) = Slower spin-up but also slower spin-down (will stay spinning longer when you release the motor from the transmission)
