Thread: true or false ?

is it true that if i use lightweight flywheel and 4CW crank i will loose torque ? ?
a lot of ppl tells me that if you use lightweight internals you'll sacrifice torque ? ? ?

oh no...

Dudeman

Short answer: False.

Long answer: False.

Here is a question for you. removing rotational mass does what?

I was thinking the same thing. Why on earth would it cause torque loss.

Hm, whatever. Ben's answer was short and to the point. Your answer makes my brain hurt!!

The only time you'll have less instantaneous energy available in the system with a lighter rotating assembly (and thus less torque available) is when you're free-revving the engine at redline. If that's how you launch your car then yes, you'll have less torque available. Everywhere else you will have the same or less torque available with a heavier assembly.

Word!

rnd2k >>> I have no idea who is that everybody you talk about, but it ain't me for sure But if you decide going after 4CW crank, I might use these pulleys of yours

lol i'll not go after 4cw crank for now i just have polished mine

You just need to be more stern with the clutch, since the lightened flywheel loses inertia faster than the stock flywheel does. Makes ti seem as though there is a power loss, but the dyno doesn't lie. No torque loss.
