i'm thinking about getting a new lightweight flywheel for my FD? any comments or suggestions. car is basically going to be a race car for street now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I have a 9.5 lb. flywheel, and I like it alot.

I have the 9.5# and love it. I would never go back to stock. I know you like to drag race though, so it might hurt you.Some think the reduced inerita makes you loose rpm's too fast between shifts. Maybe get something like a 12#

So getting the SR 9.5# will hurt your times if u drag, even though it will help u get through each gear faster? I was considering getting one, but if it doesn't help your times then why would u want one? its all about acceleration right, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Or is it just the 9.5# one that is bad for drag..... ???

A lightweight flywheel is great for roadracing, but not if you drag race. Your rev's drop off too fast and you drop out of boost. The stock one allows your to keep your rev's and boost up. Just my two .o2

So why would u want it for street racing????? And what the difference between street racing vs. drag huh?

Comming out of corners and **** like that. Your RPMs will rise quicker. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

If you're good at shifting the boost doesn't drop too much. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I am using an spi 8.5lb flywheel. I don't have any problems with keeping my boost or revs up, just shift real fast. Took me a couple of days driving in town to get use to it, but after that no problem.

I completly agree with that. I got the bonez 8.5lbs i also never have take off problems or any drop in boost between shifting, having a short throw shifter and a light flywheel is unreal combo i love it
