Lightweight flywheels For NA: Pros and Cons

Phoenix7 · 08-19-2010, 10:13 PM

I missed that part in your post...well, it looks like this flywheel goes to my TII and not the NA. It's still a good deal but I am not sure I'm gonna spend more money to get a new NA flywheel. The stocker will go back into it.

It makes just as big of a difference if not a little more on an n/a car. I've heard multiple reports of RX8's picking up 9 rwhp on the dyno with a lightweight flywheel. That's over 5%. Not bad at all. Not to mention quicker revving when downshifting etc. I'd do it for sure.

The guy I always turn to when it comes to flywheel questions is Jeff20b. You might want to consider shooting him a PM to run your plan by him, although I'm not sure if he's on this forum or not...

I'm about ready to buy titanium flywheel nut and ti front pulley bolt.
