Twin turbo car--lightweight flywheel or not?? I currently have a 15.4lb Chromoly flywheel that needs to be surfaced...OR would a 25-30lb billet steel be better for a turbo car? (408 CID) I just firgure the heavier flywheel would help with turbo spool/launches and be better/easier to drive on the street... |
168 tooth, right? Not at home to count the teeth. I just see a good deal on a 30lb SFI steel flywheel i'm thinking about getting. 30lbs sounds really heavy though.... |
I'm no expert on the matter, but there are 18lb flywheels out there. Maybe a good middle ground for you? |

The heavier the better on a turbo setup. This isn't an NA Honda S2000 build. |
I am going to be procharging my car in the next month or so. Need a clutch anyway so timing is good. What is the downside of going with a light weight flywheel? I would think it would allow engine to rev quicker. I guess they are harder to get out of the hole if your race a lot. I am no expert so I dont understand why. |

boosted cars like the heavy flywheels because it keeps the motor in boost better when going through the gears without having to no lift shift, if you're going with a supercharged setup I would just go with a good quality flywheel and not really worry about weight a whole lot, im personally a fan of heavier flywheels as they tend to not break quite as often |

Thanks. Supercharger comments too if the OP doesn't mind the high jack. |
