Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

The real question is what makes your car faster...

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

tru, light flywheel= less inertia=fall on face upon launch. :(

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

Only if you launch to low and then it's a little easier to bog.

heavy, more inertia for the shifts, more load on the engine. engine does more work, exaust gas is haWTur. plus the ngine stays spinning with mad jdm force inbetween shifts.

chalk up another for the heavy flywheel.

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

the engine will do the same work regardless, but with a light flywheel more of the work is done at the road surface.

^tru dat

^im going to have to agree, @WOT, you have the same amout of pre-charged air going in/out of the engine to spool the turbo w/ a light flywheel or a heavy one. I understand that load is what spools a turbo, but what is load? If I pack a bunch of sand bags in my car, thats load too, will it spool faster? I dont think so. Also, back to whiteys statement "which would make it faster" Im going to hypothosize (sp owns me) that the CFM of air moved through the engine before its pressureized is going to spool the slug, not the wight of the flywheel, thats only going to make it reach higher revs quicker, which IMO would create more CFM of air to spool it (more RPMs means more CFM of air is moving thru the engine and into the turbo, thus spooling it SLIGHTLY quicker) It wouldnt make a BIG difference, probably not enough to notice (the spooling) but youd notice that the revs & speed climb faster, because like mentioned above "more work is put to the road".

This is my guess, I dont know what the hell im talking about, but to me that kinda makes sence. :1

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

question was which spools sooner
answer is heavy

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

more load= quicker spool

Heavy will make you spool sooner, but im with these guys, i think lightweight is faster.

Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
 

this is a pointless question...which do you want? to be able to say you spool faster or go faster? i switched from a stock to lightweight and the lightweight is faster. if heavier were better manufacturers would make heavier aftermarket flywheels.
