Hey Vadim my friend...

Stillen/Aasco is a confirmed 9.6 lb's according to my scale I will count the teeth for you when I get home, but I'm pretty sure its 108.

For now, can we just get rid of or modify this?

When I had a lightweight in my N/A car, it definitely made it harder to start from stops. I don't really get the whole RPM-drops-too-fast-between-shifts idea, as I really didn't have any issue with anything like that at all except for starting from a stop. It's just much easier to stall out the lightweight equipped cars because there just isn't as much momentum, and when the disc grabs it'll grab it faster and slow it down faster than a heavier flywheel equipped car.

Hmm good point, once I install the flywheel I will see if the RPM dropping fast theory is true or not hehe.

Updated the first post with pictures and some text from SE-R.net

It is true, off course it is it will drop faster. But it makes your shifts and rev matching much quicker.

Most of the market run PAR flywheels down here which has one of the lowest rotational enertias in the sr20 market, with a design similar to that AD fab one, it's been used on alot of strip, street and track cars with great results.

Takes a few weeks to perfect everyday driving but it's not that hard to adjust to.

Just wanted to thank you Vadim for the hard work as always, great thread to have. Looking forward to the blanks being filled in!

Hmm interesting! Do you have any pictures ore links to the PAR Flywheel?

Your welcome Dudeman

I always enjoy helping other people out with the same problems that I have faced

I can't wait to get my Fidanza flywheel in, but I did want to get something different, not as widely used hehe

Features:
Billet 4140 Chrome Moly steel
Hardened
Tempered
Nitrided
Shotpeen stress relieved
4.1kg (std ~ 12kg)

The bulk of material mass is concentrated around the centre of the flywheel to provide maximum heat dissapation from the friction surface and to allow maximium response by minimising rotational inertia

Special cooling channels at the centre and outer diameter maximise airflow and minimise weight whilst retaining the required structural integrity for ultra high rpm and loads.

Probably a little expensive for US guy as there made in the CNC plant in Aust But locally there are great.

Now 4.1Kg's isn't the lightest but it's got a lighter enertia then the 3.9KG fidanza which is what you want in a flywheel.

Hmm now thats a pretty flywheel, but the cost is a bit out of hand

How many teeth does it have? I would like to add it to the list

I can't find and clean shots so i can count the theeth 100% acurately but my count is 108,

It suits all the australian pulsars afaik im using one on my ve now.
