witch fly wheel would be the best for a everyday driver turbo b18b ACT STREETLITE FLYWHEEL 12.5lbs or Prolite Flywheel 8.8lbs

and my second question is i have ARP rod bolts and i was told to get it balance on my stock rods and pistons. so do i have to get it done cause it just rod bolts.

 

i would go with the heavier flywheel. not light. and i wouldnt worry about the bolts.

 

thanks any one else have any advice

 

imo 12lb flywheels are perfect, as for rod bolts why are you swithing the oem bolts out for?

 

case i have heard that the rod bolt streaches

 

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.

 

so should i go with the lighter flyweel of the heavyer one. and is there any difference between the two flywheel besides the weight. like perfomance and how it drive

 

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