flywheel lightening
does anybody know anything about this specifically? I talked to several shops in my town and they acted like there was no such thing. ("lighten a flywheel? what in the hell would you want to do that for????")
are there any links or anything that i could look at as to what areas can be machined off to lose the weight?

you got it lightened eh? thats what im talking about. exactly what part do they machine off? One would think that if you made the flywheel thinner, you would have less clutch. am i right on that one?

u are true...but its not too noticable, when they took off the very little they took off on mine they took it off over the whole inside surface exept where it bolts on, it was a lightweight flywheel to began with, so they couldnt safley machine hardly anything off....

91civicDXdude- just curious man- in your sig it says that you have a D16Z6 and are running it with a 90 CRX Si ECU- how does your VTEC engage with that ECU
 ...because we know that the D16A6 is non VTEC.

i believe he is using a toggle switch.... i just hooked up my vtec to my nitrous buttons on my steering wheel....its pretty neat, everyone who rides with me thinks i have nitrous, but then are confused when they find no tank.... :-D sooner or later i will get around to buying a rpm activated switch or something.........but for now this is pretty cool

a lightened flywheel can free up a couple of extra horses by letting your engine rev faster. the same idea as a lightened crank pully or underdrive pullys. the engine doesn't have to work as hard to rev. it gives your engine less recipricating mass.
by the way, if anyone wants to reply to my thread titled deck hight, please feel free to.

well, with a lightened underdrive pully, and flywheel i do feel a better takeoff, but thats all, hell our cars can beat most others on takeoff anyway, so there isnt really and real use other than freeing up a FEW more horses, in my opinion its not worth the money or trouble of installing it
