I'd go with the 8.8lb flywheel. I use to drive a built D with a 5.5lb flywheel every single day and it was just fine to drive.

b18b/b20 rod bolts are weak, notorious for breaking at high rpm. you will have to get them pressed in by a shop. the shop will also have to resize your rods afterwards. i did arp rod bolts in my itr/gsr rods just as a precaution. only trouble i had was finding a shop with a mandrel small enough to resize the rods. everyone around here works on v8's.

You have 3 opinons posted on here about the flywheel. Like I said, I'd go with the lightest one possible.
