Flywheels....good or bad?
I currently replacing my b16 tranny and was wonderin if I should either leave the flywheel stock
and shave a few pounds off ov it? Or get a 8-10 pd flywheel??
I figured they defeat the purpose ov counter weight...wouldnt it take forever for revs to drop?
Will it effect the way my car drives with the turbo?

Re: Flywheels....good or bad?
it will make the acceleration and decceleration of the crank faster. i have never driven with one so i cant comment on the second part
i have heard quite a few people say that they arent worth it on a street car though

Re: Flywheels....good or bad?
for an all motor car its an issue that needs to be addressed. I have always ran lightened flywheel stuff in my cars but thats just my choice. In all reality for a typical b16a street turbo car you can spend your money in better places unless you can find one cheap. I like them but some people swear against them.
