94snatch

YES I DID SEARCH BEFORE POSTING - BUT NOTHING WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

I have just about everything I need for the new motor combo in my eg hatch.

early B16/cable tranny with avid adapter
obx ss manifold
300z 60/63 turbo
hks 40mm wastegate - knock off 8psi spring
ebay bov
450 dsm/resistor box
adjustable cam gears
p28 - still to be chipped
no ac
no power steering
underdrive crank pulley
lightened alternator pulley
test pipe - no cat

I still need to buy an intercooler and get some shifter linkage but I am getting close. My actual question is will a lightened flywheel help with the lag I am assuming this set-up will have? Is there such a thing as going too light? I was thinking of something in the 8-9 pouind range. I vaguely seem to remember reading somewhere that lightened flywheels are not ideal with a turbo? Is this true?

no one is going to have the same answer, but i personaly dont think one will help with lag other then getting you to the sweet spot a little sooner

if your shooting for big power your gonna have to deal with lag, fact of life, but a LW flywheel can help you cope a bit by gettin ya there faster

i personaly love them and will be getting another soon as im rebuilding my motor anyway

i think something about 12-13 pounds is ideal. like the flywheel from a integra type r.

I have the exedy 9 lb wheel in my car and it works well. If you are going to get a lightened FW I would recommend against a aluminum/steel job. Get a all stainless steel one. As for "is it better" the one thing to keep in mind is that, yes, your motor will spin up faster but you are making less spinning mass so it will spin down faster as well. If you like to shift quick all the time (i.e. on the street as well as the strip) you will like the lighter wheel. The only realy disadvanage to the light whell is that when your motor spins down quicker, so will your turbo. I have a slightly smaller turbine on my car so it doesn't affect it much. Yours is a little bigger, so it will make a little more effect. It will make slightly more top end power with the lighter wheel but you will give up a little bit of torque on the bottom.

nothing is wrong with aluminum flywheels, but chromemoly ones tend to warp like bastards.

lol you have it sooo backwards there,

-cromoly flywheel are the strongest you can buy(my jun flywheel is cromo)
- aluminum flywheels alwasys tend to warp

the only downside to cromo is that its so strong that it may cause tooth damage on those cheap *** starters because the starter teeth are soft and the flywheels teeth are so hard.
