the flywheel is one of the best upgrades i would say you could do to your car along with a good clutch, your low end acceleration is bumped up a lot. i went from running a 15.3 to a 14.8 with the clutch flywheel and some new neogen tires.

I would agree it is one of the best upgrades because it allows you to use the power you already have:P Congrats.

What is that clutch made out of?

+1 on a awesome duo

Umm well I'm still kinda a noob with cars and I got my 1992 Prelude like 2 1/2 months ago so still learning here but while lower the wight on ur fly wheel is a good thing for racing at the same time wouldnt you lug arong town. This is just what I was told by my father. He said that the fly wheel is what keeps ur car going. Somthing about using inertia or somthing

No, you don't "lug around towm" lol. The only thing is while your motor revs a lil faster, the RPM's also decrease faster because of less inertia.

How much do good fly wheels cost??

these fidanza 8lbs are about 150$

op what was total cost for parts?

how does the clutch feel after u installed it? is it lighter? also, do u have any problem with idle? I heard some cases where luders installed light flywheel and they stall at red lights

Theres no problem with idling and if you stall regardless its just cause your a newb and need to practice. I learned to drive stick on this setup and had it nailed with a couple weeks

lmao.
any professional opinions?? i've been driving sticks for years so i think i should know how not to stall.
Maybe i didn't phrase my question right and got this newb confused. :slap:
anyways. A few people experience this after they installed light flywheel and clutch. The RPM drops lower at idle, sometimes the engine stalls on itself (which had nothing to do with newbs). Did u have this issue OP?

what do you think helped your 1/4 mile more the tires or the clutch and flywheel.

Is the car actually noticeably quicker??

Unless the clutch was unable to handle the abuse, tires will help more than the FW.

3 points i need to make:

1: Newb?? hes been a member as long as you and has as many posts

2: Your both Newbs stfu..lol

3: The other Newb is right and a new clutch/lighter flywheel will not affect your idle or cause your car to stall while in nuetral. The feel of the clutch will most likely be stiffer so engaging it will take getting used to but that is all.



oh yeah and jlude, gotta include the lightened flywheel in there. the clutch most likely had little to no effect but the lightened flywheel probably did account for some of the increase.

ya deffinitely X2!

the flywheel has everything to do with it stalling on its own. it has alot less inertia to it. and hes not talking about it just sitting in neutral and it stalling out, but coming to a stop (ie clutch in, and the rpms dropping down alot) and having the rpms drop to far, to fast to where it stalls out.

Well mine has never stalled it by itself. Two thumbs up for a great buy :)

he was actually agreeing with me im pretty sure sooooo yeah. Also your wrong, because if you clutch is engaged the motion of the car (wheels turning) will keep the engine turning just like it would with a regular flywheel. It will stall at the same time regardless, when the rpms go too low. The car may coast less time without gas because of the reduced weight of the flywheel but that is the only difference and hardly noticable/ isnt actually making the car stall sooner. I dont know why people think it changes so much stuff. The only drivability difference will be that you need to shift quicker in between gears so the rpms dont drop and you can smoothly engage the clutch at the right rpm. You dont stall out sooner and it wont stall out at idle and it isnt easier to stall when you start going, although if you install a stiffer clutch at the same time which many people do that can make the clutch more sensitive when starting from a stop. Regardless, you shouldnt be keeping your car in fifth gear going like 10 mph, shift the damned thing into neutral if your coming to a stop or downshift if your not totally shopping. These are basic manual driving skills/rules, how is it the fault of the flywheel if you dont know that?

This is false and will not happen. I have a 11.5lb flywheel and mine has never, or even came close to stalling. The only time youll stall is when you start driving the car cause you're not used to the sensitivity. Unless your car idles at 200-300 rpms you shouldnt have any problems with stalling out when you put the clutch in. End of story.

thank you! there are a lot of misconceptions around when it comes to lighter flywheels. If people took the time to fully understand the physics of it, and more importantly how a flywheel/clutch works then they would realize a lot of what is said around isnt true. although i guess that can be said of a lot of car parts.

i used to have the fidanza 8lb flywheel too and i never had a problem with the car stalling at lights. from time to time the car would stall if i was parking in a tight space and i hit the brakes at the exact same moment i hit the steering lock. that was the only time i had an issue with the car stalling and it was only because there was just a little too much load hitting the motor all at once and it did not have the intertia to compensate for it.

I have the fidenza 8lb flywheel and an F1 racing stage 2 clutch. its a great package. The Flywheel really wakes the engine up at lower revs. It gets into vtec a lot faster, but you gotta be fast on your shifts or it will fall out of vtec range. The clutch grabs nicely with no chatter, and doesn't feel much heavier than the stock one did. If you find yourself wanting a little more pickup without having to spend a mint a lightened flywheel and a good clutch is well worth the money.

OMFG, sorry but u guys aren't getting what Legitluda's asking. U guys seem to think he's talking about when the clutch is engaged. When you're coming to a stop, and you have your clutch disengaged, or you're just in neutral. So at this point your RPMS have nothing to do with the motion of your wheels, and your RPMs are going to drop to idle (700rpms if you guys are talking about H22). Now he's asking since the flywheel is lighter, when the RPMs are dropping (in neutral, or clutch disengaged) will it cause the RPMs to drop a little too much momentarily or to the point where it stalls ocasionally. NOW, I thought his question was reasonable, but I'm gona say no just because I never heard of any problem like that, and I don't think the weight reduction will cause the rpms to drop too low. Acutally that sounds like something that would happen if you have too heavy of a flywheel. IT just bothered me that no one was getting what he was really asking.

Wow. I really started something up about 6 months ago sorry guys. Now that I know a little more about cars since than I've done some research. Though my father says else. Basicly a Flywheel is just another name for a piece of round steel for the Clutch be able to grab. My father says the fly wheel is used to keep the pistons going I guess lol. I told him all the pistons weight and crank and everything else is what makes the engine go round and round.

As for the idle dropping down to far. And somehow you cant figure it out. Just turn that little screw on the side or your manifold on the right side of the car. Or tighten up your throtle cable. Its simple.

sry i kinda lost track of this thread, no i dont lug around town, yes it feels lighter, it about about $500 for both, the clutch once broken in requires some good foot work, no downshifting with out rev matching or doing the heel toe, its an awesome set up, on good tires i can bark 3rd.. i went from 15.1 with I/E to 14.8 at the track with this flyhwheel.

I have the 8lbs flywheel with a Competition Stage 2 clutch myself... LOVE it. 0-60 acceleration is a world of difference from what it once was, i'd recommend it to anyone.

i can also vouch for this set up. 8lb and 4.3...i've had it on my car for about 3 years now, and it still grabs like no tomorrow...definitely recommended for anyone really trying to do some fancy footwork...it does take some getting used to, but once you learn how to use this set up, it feels amazing...you can definitely feel your power being put to use with every hard shift

good to hear, im doing fidanza 8lb with 4.3 in the next month, current clutch doesnt like boost to well

^good choice man, deffinitatly work the $$$ i got minr thru titan motorsports in TX they had to go back to fidanza and have one made :/ took me 2 months after ordering it to get it

why did you have to say that? you know now that you said it its gonna happen to me

i had a fidanza 8lb w/a ebay 6 sprung-puck clutch, killer combo, the only problem was clutch chatter and a heavy load on your foot due to the pressure plate pressure, also driving through traffic jams was a p.i.a
