Anyone running an aluminum flywheel? If so, how do you like it? I am considering installing one on a 90 accord, but not sure if its worth it.

 

ehh. id be iffy about aluminum flywheels. even if there is a performance advantage, your steel bolting a chunk of aluminum to steel, with steel. the bolts will slowly loosen and the flywheel will be trashed. i would only use an aluminum flywheel if i was buildign a strictly NA car asnd io didnt mind wrenching alot. meaning periodic flywheel bolt re-torquing

 

That is why you use thread lock. I had a N/A plymouth Sundance putting out estimated 200hp. It had a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. I probably put well over 50K miles (didn't keep track of the mileage) on the flywheel before I had to replace the friction plates, which cost me $90. I beat on the car daily. Always smoking the tires through first and second gear and bouncing off the rev limiter.

I am just wondering if a lighter flywheel on a nearly stock 2.2L F22A6 will bog the motor at lower RPM's. The heavier stock flywheel's inertia helps keep the motor spinning at low RPM's. The car definitely needs to be streetable.

 

I DD a 8.8lb Fidanza everyday, no worries.
