Ahhh, someone else who has had an assfull of the lightweight flywheel, when the clutch job gets underway in the vert, i'm pitchin that goddamn thing as far as I can!

 

between the flywheel and the clutch it makes me sick



you have to be a sick bastard who has never driven a car with any quality to it to like a light flywheel and 6 puck style clutch.

 

Since we're talking about lightweight flywheels, I can't resist:



If I'm interested in building a T2 solely for drag racing, will I reap any benefit from going to a lightweight flywheel? Or am I better off with something stock? Heavier than stock?



I've read seemingly contradictory information on this subject, and I'm looking for a few more informed opinions.

 

heavier is better for drag. just stick with the stocker. ive tried a bunch of different flywheels and the stock has the best feel and drivability. i HATE lightweight flywheels. i would like to try out a heavier flywheel, as in just a tad lighter then stock to get it to rev a bit quicker but not loss as much momentum.



j9: yea, i dont even want to work on the fd, the engine bay is like a frickin pt cruiser.



rob: trade ya an fd for a t2. got a brand new motor for the fd, and a t04r kit and full fuel system...and a PFC. just needs paint and assembly at the moment



kevin.

 

I dont think my TII is a fair trade

 

The Fd FW is like 3 or 4 lbs lighter than the s5 TII.

 

Can I bolt up an FD flywheel on an s4 T2 motor and have it work with the starter and everything?

 

I have a brand new 12lb racingbeat flywheel for my turbo swap for my vert.



I think the 12lb is a nice compromise.

 

Nope the rotors aren't the same like the S5.



I have a Jun 8-9 lb FW, and I love it, then again I don't live in a city.

 

Yeah, I don't doubt that a lighter flywheel helps the engine rev faster, I just wonder if that will make up for the weaker launch at the dragstrip. Street performance is irrelevant in this case.
