lighten flywheel with turbo
 

Does anybody have one on their turbo car. I'em considering buying one but I've here'd rumors about them shattering if they are too light. The one I want to get is 8.7lbs.

Any comments?

Thanks

some people say they are bad cause you will climb gears too fast.. some people say it doesn't matter.

I say ---- spending $200 and just turn your own flywheel. I think Jeff went to a machine shop to get his flywheel turned and they wanted $90 so he said ---- that and shaved it with the brake lathe.. HMT style

is the difference in a lightened flywheel to a regular one worth the money?

i have a fidanze 8lb under d16z6, act, 10psi, no traction until 3rd and it revs INSANELY fast

I had my stock ls one shaved to 12 pounds. It revs quick maybe to quick for my ls but with a vtec engine it would be badass.

I bought a brand new Borg warner flywheel from www.rockauto.com for $50. Why machine it when you can get a new one for $50?

I honestly think its worth the money, turbo spools faster!

..had my flywheel skimmed/lightened on my d16 and it was quite fine..held up pretty good even at ten pounds of boost from my t3..so don't pay any attention to hearsay...
