My cars specs are in my sig, what do you think should be the next modification I make to my car quicker, I was thinking a lightened flywheel?

 

where is my sig?

EDIT: O.k it is shown in this post but not my first????

 

Personally i'd go with suspension... what fun is a fast car with poor handling? also, removing any unneeded accessories such as powersteering and a/c compressor helps alot, if emissions isn't an issue where you live remove all the emission things like the cat-converters and air pump, that'll free up alot of power.

 

Aussie so no powersteering, Also I have extractors and a full exaust system, it is about as free flowing as I can legally have. The suspension is o.k, I have just put on new wheels and tires so the handeling has gone up 10 fold so I was looking at trying to make it a little fast in a straight line. In the end what I probably have to do is rebuild it with higher compression rotors (maybee depending on the price of them, I was told there isn't a huge advantage in the higher comp rotors) and port it, or do an efi turbo conversion. These things are expensive though and I was looking at a cheaper option for a little more speed in the short term.

 

n2o?

 

nah, I meant so it is fast all the time, I'm not really interested in drag racing

 

Get the Nikki modified with greater air flow and mechanical secondaries. Modifying the carb will cost you around Aus$250. The other options you mention are beyond bolt-on and the budget will be starting at $3000 plus.

 

Yeah, I know the rebuild will be an expensive route. What do you guys think of the lightend flywheel idea? Think it will make much difference to the car's acceleration?

 

Well in theory, a lighter flywheel spins faster, allowing for faster acceleration. I've never done it myself, so I don't know how noticeable it is. I'd go for the carb route, myself.

 

yea, modify your carb and remove all emissions if possible. it helps alot, especially with decelerating. i have no cats and boy i can send out some NICE *** flames!

Is that all you need to shoot out flames......is a free flow exhaust?

I'd like to melt the plastic bumper of whoever's behind me at a stoplight from time to time.

What else do I have to do......or is it just the free flow exhaust?

 

I want flames like the fast and the furious, yo!

 

better watch out dude, if you double clutch too much while doing that your floor might fall out.

 

I have no flames with a RB streetport exhaust and a webber 45dcoe

 

straight through exhaust and a rapid deacceration will get you flames every time. That is why race exhausts point where they do, and you cant make your car street legal!

 

Has anyone here got a lightened flywheel who can tell me how much of a difference it made? Worth the money? Also how much more power/tourque do you think I would make with higher compresion rotors?

 

I have the single pipe RB exhaust with a 45 DCOE and I still shoot flames every now and then (less than the Nikki though). My friend told me the other day that I was shooting flames and I couldnt even feel or hear it. With the Nikki it was accompanied by a backfire, but with the Weber it seems it just kinda burns or something, no backfiring. Although, since I got the pump and regulator in and rejetted it, I get some low toned backfiring every now and then on deceleration just like the Nikki sometimes did (the Nikki was usually more shotgun and less bass drum sounding), and those shoot flames . So, basically my point is that you might be shooting flames and you dont even know it .

Can anyone give my info about the difference with a lightend flywheel?

 

right, right.... *remembers to add more rivots to unusual removeable floor in passenger's side of car, so that it can't fall out...*


I still don't understand how Vin Diesel just jumps in after that too, like nothing's wrong with the floor of the car...

I REALLY don't understand why it fell out in the first place....

musta been all that air pressure from the body kit and air dam on the front... just popped the rivots right outta that baby....

 

There wont be any "real" hp gains with the lightened flywheel.The rotating mass is reduced,but hp wont just"shoot up"It will definately rev up faster,depending on which one you choose(the weight).
You will loose a bit a tree pulling torque,right down at idle,but its worth it,gets revving much quicker.

You dont pull away at 900rpm do you ?

 

Yeah, I know that it won't increase the HP of the engine. Does the lack of low down tourque affect drivability much? Will it improve acceleration noticibly?

 

Also if I get the flywheel then later I swap to NA rotors will I have to get a different flywheel?

 

im pretty sure u keep teh same flywheel even if you swap to NA rotors

 

I'm guessing with the flywheel, you'd notice a little better acceleration through the gears, but probably not enough to warrant the time and money. AFAIK, most people that replace the flywheel do so because their clutch also needs replacing and they're going to have to tear into the bell housing anyway.
