Looking for thoughts and experiances on either the SR Motorsports 9.5lb. or Racing Beat 9.5lb. flywheels. This is for my '90 Turbo II in which I hope to put down some pretty serious hp. Please let me know what you guys think about either or both of these flywheels. Thanks!

 

what type of driving are you going to be doing ? i have a 17lb flywheel on my TII and it revs pretty fast

 

can't you use a FD flywheel on a S5TII? they are around 19lbs steel i think

 

Really, I haven't seen any differences in flywheels from different manufacturers - they're all good. I'd probably get the srx7.com one, since you can get it with an ACT clutch setup as a package price.

I recommend aluminum flywheels over steel - steel is a nice improvement over stock, but it's not a $400 improvement. The aluminum flywheels are VERY easy to drive, unless you're grandma . It takes about a day of getting used to, that's about it.

You can't use an FD flywheel - they're quite different.

If you're looking to make some power, go ahead and get a good clutch. I've got the ACT Xtreme pressure plate and full-face clutch disc, and LOVE it. It's never slipped or complained once.

If you notice, I beleive SR wants an extra 90 or so for the counterweight. The price they have is *just* the flywheel.

I have the RB and I would never go back. Except I have to because I screwed something up reinstalling the tranny

 

Thanks a lot for the input guys. But of course I'm still undecided. One thing I was wondering about, I heard the SR flywheel is rated at 9.5lbs. but thats the flywheel only and the counter weight will add x amount more. And the RB flywheel is 12lbs. with the counter weight included. Anybody heard any of that before?
