Will a lightened flywheel help with the 1/4 mile? I was looking into the Jun lightened chromoly one.

NoRice4U · 12-03-2002, 05:57 PM

yeah it will, especially at the low end since your revs go up faster.

schwett · 12-03-2002, 06:22 PM

sure, although your revs don't go up much faster unless you're in neutral.

it reduces parasitic drag, 10 pounds less for the motor to spin around. makes it a bit harder to get the car off the line on a hill, but i really liked mine. felt great. good mod.

The JUN lighweight is 12lbs. How heavy is the stock one?

schwett · 12-03-2002, 06:41 PM

don't know exactly, around 20 pounds. i bet if you do a search it will come up. it felt almost 2x my fidanza/cm flywheel. and of course it spins at engine speed, not wheel speed.

How does it spool my turbo quicker?

18 pounds 12 ounces.... 18.75 pounds.... not a bad guesstimate (about 20lbs) from just picking it up and chucking it in a box.

mugenbb6, who said it would spool your turbo faster!??!!?

DudewithaLude · 12-03-2002, 08:54 PM

true, not too shabby for a guesstimate

mugenbb6 · 12-03-2002, 10:48 PM

That's what I heard from other people.

schwett · 12-03-2002, 11:06 PM

i can't see how it would spool your turbo faster in any noticeable way.

DudewithaLude · 12-03-2002, 11:15 PM

wild guess, but maybe the flywheel makes your reves go up faster, and by doing that, it increases the speed of the exhaust gasses? since i'm guessing that higher revs = faster exhaust gasses? *shrug*

BoYgUaN · 12-03-2002, 11:31 PM

mrmumbels · 12-04-2002, 10:02 PM

anyone know where i can get the best price on the fidanza flywheel? anyone recommend anything better than the fidanza?

Blitzbaster02 · 12-07-2002, 02:16 AM

I got fidanza and it is great. What else is better for that price?

DudewithaLude · 12-07-2002, 02:30 AM

JUN maybe? clutchmaster's fly is made by fidanza.

Blaast · 12-08-2002, 01:48 PM

I have the 8 lbs Clutchmaster's flywheel. The difference is very noticeable, at neutral, of course, but also in first and second gear when the RPM climbs quickly enough to make the difference in rotational inertia worth it. Past third gear though, no noticeable difference but you know it's there and doesn't hurt.

One point though (not necessarily negative), you have to shift faster otherwise, since the RPM falls down much quicker, those slow, grandma-like shifts will make the engine bog when depressing the clutch.

IMO, it's a Great upgrade. Much better and safer than the lightweight Crank pulley.

schwett · 12-08-2002, 02:22 PM

i agree with blaast. i had the same flywheel, and it was the best mod i made. if it wasn't such a PITA to install one, i'd put one on my s2k asap!!

mugenbb6 · 12-08-2002, 08:48 PM

Is JUN lighter or heavier than the clutchmaster's?

schwett · 12-09-2002, 01:27 AM

you posted above that the jun is 12 lb. if that's correct, it's significantly heavier than the CM, which blast says is 8lbs. sounds about right to me although that's lighter than i thought it was!
