Re: What spools a turbo faster: Light flywheel or Heavy flywheel
I mean in the end its all about theories. We still don't know what will work from experience. What i suggest doing is buy a lightened flywheel and find out. Simple as that and you'll go down in history to be the ***** that found this ---- out . But if i were to guess i would say the heavier flywheel spools it first and the lightened flywheel makes more whp

I have an 8lb in my crx, and I make boost on the launch limiter. wtf are you guys talkin about you cant spool a turbo without load? If you dont want to lose boost btwn shifts, dont let off the gas completely.

i dont think its because of oil starvation, its the lack of the harmonic balancer that throws the crank off balance and in turn will spin the rod/main bearings
