Will this flywheel work with OEM clutch?
TOB is done on my car
While I'm fixing it, I bought a brand new clutch and wondering if this lightweight flywheel is compatible with the OE clutch They are both made by exedy |

It's easier to stall or slip the clutch, you need to have more precise clutching ability. That said I had zero issues daily driving a '90 Integra RS with an 8lb ACT prolite racing flywheel, actually liked it much better than stock, way more responsive to throttle input. Also depowered /unvalved the steering rack and put in a smaller diameter steering wheel... wasn't an ideal daily driver but was fun and quick in response! Plan to put a TRD lightweight flyweel in my FR-S soon, TOB is starting to complain more these days...

I would love to have a sharp responsive powerplant that feels like a straight-4 liter bike but that's just not what this engine does well. Read all this as my opinion. I've considered, and talked myself out of a light flywheel many times.

humfrz: i wonder if i can retrofit those rear wheels of tractor in pic. Will i need to roll fenders and increase camber to not rub?
Such wheels may certainly reduce spending on tires! |

I put a 13lb flywheel in at 3000 miles and have driven it for 32k. You do need to get a little used to the needing to rev slightly higher from a stop to get going, but as long as you have good throttle control it's fine. Idle and other things are not bad at all. Totally tolerable. I'm also at a mile high elevation. The best additional mod that leveled all of this out was a 4.88 FD. Made everything feel more like "stock", except quicker all around. Really in the end it depends on OP's future goals and mods. It's always good to have a "vision" of what you want your car to be and how you want it to act. |
