Default flywheel question

I'm in the process of buying an ACT XACT PRO LITE 8.8lb flywheel, however I'm not sure if it's safe to use on my daily driven integra. Anyone using this flywheel or anything lighter on a daily driver? Should I go with a slightly heavier flywheel to be safe?

I have a 7lb flywheel on my weak little civic and it's fine. It just takes some getting used to.

I drive with a 9lb Fidanza flywheel. Other than the decrease in rotating mass and the added benefits of reclaiming loss power due to drivetrain loss, those are the only effects you were see. I have nothing negative to say about my flywheel, only positive! :thumbup:

now hold on...are you going turbo or staying NA? Turbo motors don't like lightweight flywheels because it doesn't give the turbo much spool time because of quicker gear shifting. NA cars on the other hand will benefit.

agreed, no prob.s here, the only trouble you can get in would be lightening a stock one(like my self). there fine but you have to be careful on how much and where you take the weight from,
