@jeffens1991 harder engine starts, faster deceleration, slight more "gas" to go up hills, a change slightly different take off from stops. more feel of the engine (because you don't have the weight of the old flywheel blocking it anymore); but you get used to it. With a new clutch you hardly see a "disadvantage" after your 750 mile break in period. only advantages im at 2 years on my F1 Racing 8.5 flywheel.
spins quicker but during shift drops rpm like a bitch, and should be balanced with the entire bottom end. its like putting a light weight crank pully. bad for main bearings. thats why the type r fly is 11lbs and perfect.
"A flywheel is a mechanical device with a significant moment of inertia used as a storage device for rotational energy. Flywheels resist changes in their rotational speed, which helps steady the rotation of the shaft when a fluctuating torque is exerted on it by its power source such as a piston-based (reciprocating) engine" <- from wikipedia
which results in ...worst launch capabilities, and lower top speeds also a bit less effective downshifts engine deceleration
the idea of modifying a car or the engine itself is to improve it, increase efficiency, to achieve that one must be one step ahead from the minds that designed the engine or car and the millions spent to achieve that, however sometimes its just "we know who to make it better but we dont cause it will cost more" but i feel that this is not the case
correct, if you dont know something that doesnt mean its not accurate, read some books like i did in the university, i am sure youll find out "why" the light flywheel will result in worst launch capabilities,
good question, if you want to gain anything rather than losing by replacing your flywheel with a lighter one the list of parts you should replace with aftermarket ones first is big enough,, stock engine + lighter flywheel doesnt work right,,sorry
@panoulis20 from ur response it made me think that you had no personal experience with lighter flywheels* please! talking like you know does not prove that you know for a fact!! what would go wrong if you have a stock engine with light weigh flywheels?? *Nothing will go wrong*!! you actually improve engine response and you can actually hit a corner braking much later *Meaning* you can go faster into a corner and come out of a corner faster! as my experience there is no disadvantage!!
@buddyclubs no i havent used a lighter flywheel and i dont know if i ever do so over a stock engine, you know why..? because a flywheel is used to store energy to maintain crankshaft rotation beetween powerstrokes,,thats why the less cylinders an engine has the heavier its flywheel is, its something that the designer of the engine has taken under consideration and thats why every gram matters, if you go shaving it or replace it with a lighter one without mods to alter the entire setup you lose!
@buddyclubs look it up before you hit reply, you ll see that i am right, if you have a lighter flywheel you will lose in top speed, youll launch slower (if you do it by releasing the clutch while at a steady high rpm youll notice a stall), but your engine will rev like a superbike's and WITH the right set up of mods youll have a better acceleration but when it comes to flywheels its easier to lose more that whats to gain by just simply swaping with a light one,
Light Fly wheels are good but i wouldn't go to light. The lighter the flywheel yes its spins the motor up faster but also the more rpm's you loose with a shift. Unless you have to lift to shift but then i don't see why it would matter
Consequently though, they also fall much faster because there is much less rotating mass. It's not really recommended on street cars cause it make them really hard to drive.
Aight i got to ask even though its a stupid question. What does the weight difference in a fly wheel do?PLus is it the higher the weight better or lower better? Thanks
its better or worse depends on the car setup. A semi might need a large flywheel, but a tiny honda could use a light one. It adds or subtracts mass from the moving parts. So it revs quicker when in nuetral with a lighter one. The flywheel weight change affects the cars response. For example, a civic with a heavy flywheel would spin tires and the larger mass of the flywheel has more kenetic energy so it would take longer for the tires to stop spinning. The mod is overrated.
I agree he didnt go to redline, but it depends upon the engines powerband, the sohc engines powerbands are alot lower than most dohcs. they start to drop off in power actually after 7500 rpm's. (stock limit is 7200)
lol thats not when my engine stops revving. My engine revs to like 7 something grand. But it stops making power at around 5500-6000 rpm. Most SOHC's do. If you put your car on a dyno and watch the HP/TQ graph move. It will peak at around 5500-6000 and then drop until max RPM.
tru i like the z6 motor so much better then the y8 i had i like my sohc engines cheaper when they blow up 2 haha
but i hear u on them blowing up i had rebuilt my motor and didnt change the seals thought i would get away with it and yeah i didnt so its been tickin and i been waiting and waiting and it just wont go and i dog the shit out of it
no sound no proof. could be a sped up video for all we know.

Any modification you do on a car for a gain results in some negatives. Although sometimes it may just be cost.

It makes a very big difference, the lighter the flywheel is the quicker the throttle response is and the revs will build much faster.
