Thread: Best Weight Flywheel for SR20ve?

What about up slopes (if you have any in your area lol) and carrying loads?


Peace

u just need to get the feel of it the only way to get to my house is up hill its all about the feel

I ran a SR16 flywheel on my SE-R when my VE was NA and I loved it. Car with lighter flywheels performed no different.

i have the 8 or 9 lb fidanza in my car and sometimes wish i still had the stock one in it. yea it revs really nice, and the revs fall really quick, but i think the stock one would be better for getting out of the whole at the track for an NA car with such little tq.

Yeah i stay with the sr16 flywheel. I got 9lb fidanza and my nephew run stock de with the same hp and both cars run the same.

i got a cheap flywheel from ebay , xtd 9lb flywheel , works great with the gspec pulleys it revs up like a bike

Honestly I noticed very little difference with the flywheel in (drive-ability). Although it may be "low" on torque the ve in particular has a fairly stout lower rpm torque output compared to many 1.6-1.8-2.0L I have driven.

To me, a lightweight flywheel is easy as pie to drive, its the combination of a lightened flywheel and a really tough clutch that can make it tricky on hills etc. You have to keep in mind a lightened flywheel will in no way cause the clutch engagement or slip amount to change, you merely need to acclimate your foot to push down more as you release the clutch. With practice you can drive in the toughest situations with the average listener not even knowing you have the flywheel.

I am not into drag racing so getting out of the hole does not really apply to me however...

If you look at the statistics, VERY few have spoken ill of a light flywheel. Most either believe it is degrading their performance (incorrectly) or they are racing with full drag slicks...etc find it is harder to launch the car.

The fact is it WILL make you faster, and will improve many aspects of daily driving for a spirited driver!

Edit: I forgot to speak towards your question about loads. What exactly do you mean? Do you mean when the car has 5 people in it? Do you mean when cruising on the highway? Going up hills? How about packing the car with over 1000lbs of people and cargo? Not one problem. The ve handles it great! BTW, with 40mpg highway also....
