Quite light, don't you think? I've created a thread about lightened flywheels because I've been thinking seriously to replace my stock one, but still im collecting info Stock EK9 flywheel weights about 12 lbs and what most people say is that its a perfect match with EK9. Installing an extremely lightened flywheel you might have serious side effects like drivability problems, vibrations, the more abruptly your rpm go up, the same way drop, hence your engine might stall in traffic etc... But a lighter flywheel of about 10 lbs normally will cause no problemsrvm said:Any one ever used this kind brand of flywheel? the one they offer for b series is 7 lbs of weight,
I'm interested in buying one but i want to here your comments firts, thanks
No way 14lbs. You can check it if you wantrvm said:I see, i was told the same thing from my mechanic, that he recommends one of 10 - 12 lbs, are you 100 % sure the stock one weights 12 lbs? i think it weights 14 lbs
BTW which aftermarket b series flywheel weights 10 pounds ? TODA right?

Be carefull with the crank pulley!!! Be sure who touches your crank!!
Some ended up having a tasty cracker in their engine because of that

b16bleigh said:hey.i have just instaled a fidanza 7.5lb flywheel and i find it ok .the revs rev up really fast but when you let off the clutch the revs drop really quick but it hasnt cut out.the revs drop to about 500rpm but go back to normal.changing gears in normal mode can be a bit jumpy depending on how slow you change gear.but i think it is gud piece of kit.

blinx9900 said:wow thats kind of expensive, did tha include shpping?
rhdek9 said:what is the lightest flywheel available? i heard there was a 6lbs flywheel? is there any truth to this?
blinx9900 said:never heard of one that light, that just seems too light! im honestly kind of regretting my 8lb i think i'll put my stock ctr one back on during my next clutch job, only becuase i have an n1 pulley aswell so my revs just drop so damn fast i fear i may fall out of boost between shifts.

I understand you anger blinx and I really have no intention to misinform people, believe me . I'm sure you are satisfied with this mod, that's why, but the reason why I mentioned vibrations and engine stall is because I've seen people complaining about these problems. Now what you say based on your experience makes me think that most probably they did bad job for having these problemsblinx9900 said:ok, why did you start a thread if your going to keep your same opinion? i already told you your car will NOT stall, you will NOT have vibration problems!! please dont spread incorrect info if you have not tried the part. you are wrong. the only side affect is the quick rpm drop below shifts, if you shift slow shifting becomes jerky, THATS ALL. please stop listing other side effects that dont exist.
sorry if im being rude i just find it frustrating when i tell someone the truth about something and they disregard it.
