I'm thinking of getting a lightened flywheel for my eg6 b16a2 civic.
Has anyone got one???

Did they/you notice good performance differances?

Will it still idle ok? (i was thinking of the findaza if it helps)
ta 4 any help

I have a 9 lb in my GSR.

The performance is like night and day. Throttle response is much improved, rev matching is much easier, and it is a lot more fun to drive. It takes a little getting used to, but it is a good investment.

There are no idle problems with it, but it does stall occasionally when coming out of higher revs.

Sound i think ill get one then, i presume it just bolts on from behind the clutch? Means im gonna have to remove my tranny again then!! i have a teg type r tranny on mine, i presume that makes no differance?

The tranny and clutch assembly will need to be removed to change out the flywheel. Tranny type doesn't matter. All of the B-series flywheels are interchangeable.

when doing that isn't there a certain weight u should go beyond unless ur going turbo, like not less than 8lbs.,cuz i was reading that if you go to light you can iin fact lose off the line acceleration??

srry for the double post

i believe that the momentum of the factory flywheel actually kinda helps torque, the lighter the flywheel the quicker the engine slows down when you dump the clutch, not to say theyre bad, cuz ive heard nuthin but good about em...

So does any1 know if you lose torque with a lightened flywheel??
I'm probably gonna go N/A so is the a ideal weight i should go for??
I was thinking of a fidanza one, anyone heard anything good or bad about them??

as far aas i know lightened flywheel aren't bad as long as u stay within a repectable weight range for ur specific setup. If ur going n/a i wouldn't go lighter than 10or9lbs.
