lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

a performance shop/engine swapper here in miami told me if my car is boosted a lightened flywheel will make my car over rev and it was dangerous for a boosted car to have a liughtened flywheel. he said he would'nt even sell me one if it was gonna go in my car. what difference do you feel in the car w/lightened flywheel as far as rpm speed and drivability? i was looking at a 7.5-8.5pd fidanza flywheel
for my 10psi 250whp b16 99'civic si.

I have one, i like it.

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

does it really make that much of a defference?

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

i have a fidanza from endyn and i love it...well now that im boosted it kinda sucks when i launch..causde it bogs a bit..but i guess ill just have to launch at a higher RPM...

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

or use launch control to build boost in standstill, I can get 15psi before I drop the clutch :)

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

how could you get any psi at all if your car is stil in neautral?

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

spark retard and round robin spark cut to keep the rpms down.

Is this a featue on Turbo Edit?

if so im so there!

i have a ACT streetlight on my boosted y8 and i love it ;D

5.5LB flywheel in the built zc, 8.0lb flywheel on my girls h22, and all my other cars had lightened factory flywheels. I think people who say they hurt performance are retarded. Less rotational mass ownz you.

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

Over revving hahahaha...what a retard..Why do you have a rev limiter??

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

just don't buy a clutchmasters flywheel, they suck donkey balls

I'm actually using MegaSquirt'N'Spark with a few modifications.
I beleive Uberdata has a feature like this called full-throttle-launch.

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

stupid questions and sorry for thread jaxking but what is MegaSquirt and whta it used for?

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

I had one in my integra and it was a bitch to get it to idle right. Technically, if you take rotating mass away you loose torque but the all around performance benefits of a lighweight everything outweighs it.




its a complete DIY fuel injection system that can be used on anything...it rocks

its a fuel computer that you make yourself and is opensource.

i had a 7.5lb fiodanza on my hatch with a act street strip, and 10psi, it was crazy, broke loose into 3rd, and redline 1st in half a second

I went back and forth from a lightened flywheel to a stocker. I've noticed a huge difference. Especially trying to chirp the tires. YOu'll notice the less rotating mass quite quickly.

If I were you I'd go to a different engine builder.

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

the guy says he'll charge $200 to install it. cheap price there and they do good work, swaps..etc. i'm sure he'll do it if i wanted him to.

Re:lightened flywheels...who has had boosted experiences w/them?
 

The flywheel just has to be strong enough to take the forces of sudden acceleration. People die every year when flywheels explode, mostly when people lighten stock flywheels improperly I think. There is a reason to why NHRA mandates a scattershield or a scatterproof bellhousing on 11 second cars IIRC.

i have a fidanza 6.5lb in my d15b (vtec) on 9psi. car is disgusting fast, and the clutch grabs incredibly hard. it is an aluminum flywheel and has taken a BEATING from my days. i have taken my motor to the 'H' on engine temp because my radiator fan stopped working.

one problem i have is that on hot ass days when i let the car out of gear while driving the rpms drop really quick and the car will turn off her and there. im thinking about using a stock one again. it is a bit to sensitive to south florida temps. i did make 5whp with it all motor :).

My flywheel is kinda Homemade lightened.
I'll just pray nothing happens..
