lighten flywheel
how many peeps run lightened flywheels?
is the differnce very noticable? worth the money? how much can u take of a stock d16a6 flywheel? thanks |
Re:lighten flywheel
I run a 5.5lb flywheel in my ZC, and highly recommend any type of lightened flywheel, whether its factory or aftermarket. They make the car rev incredibly quicker, and if you are running a turbo, it seems to spool a bit quicker.
We have taking around 5-7lbs of factory flywheels without problems. (be sure to get it balanced afterward) Jeff |
Re:lighten flywheel
how mcuh shoud it cost to get one lighted,resurfaced and balanced?

Re:lighten flywheel
Some machine shops do this, How much? it depends on the shop..
about 50 to lighten, 20 to balance.. just guesses Get a aftermarket one, they are so damn cheap, 250 bucks for a 5.5lb flywheel. Jeff |
Re:lighten flywheel
I'm running a Clutchmaster's Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel, their Stage 3 clutch.. it's sexy. None of that slippage when you drop into third at 75mph. :)
Just watch when you launch, axles like to snap under boost. :-\ |
Re:lighten flywheel
^for sure...
it's happened to me twice already... :-[ |
Re:lighten flywheel
Know what I did? Bought one of those cheap axles from O'Rielly's with the "lifetime warranty" as a spare. Sooooo.. Whenever my axles snap, just pop in the spare (since it's always my drive axle), take it back.. FREE REPLACEMENT! ;-D
"Uh, what happend?" "I don' t know.. I just pulled up to a stop light, it turned gren, I s tarted moving forward and heard this loud pop! Then I couldn't move anywhere. 'My mechanic' (heheh) said my axle broke. It's got a lifetime warranty, right?" "Ya.." "Good, I need a new one." ;-D |
Re:lighten flywheel

Re:lighten flywheel
Hey Jeff didn't you guys lighten one of your flywheels on a brake lathe? I think I remember something about doing that on this web site.
If you did how well did that work for ya and did you guys balance it afterwards? |
