Hey guys, just want your opinion on a ACT prolite 9.8lb flywheel... i just bought this new flywheel but i have been reading on this forum that some people hate it and doesn't recommend it... people said that the RPM dropped fast and the turbo take longer to spool back up?

Here is my setup... do you guys think i should install or stick with the stock one... I don’t use the car for daily driving, weekend car if even…

93 rx7 streetport
A-Spec GT3574R
ACT clutch

 

the biggest issue you need to know, if you plan to drive this on the street the RPMs will drop fast during deceleration, like coming to a stop light or braking, basically when your foot is on the clutch
also, when you start from a stop like at a stoplight it will be jerky and not as smooth or comfortable.
a street port is going to be a little rougher, anyway, so, since you already own it, go ahead and try it.
I personally have a light steel flywheel which is a compromise.

 

I have an Act lightweight aluminum flywheel with a 6 puck ceramic clutch.

There's no need for it to be difficult once you are used to it.

 

Definitely give the prolite a try. I went from the stock flywheel to this and didn't see why there was so much fuss about it being harder to drive. However, I am using an organic disc and not the puck types.

 

IMHO, a light flywheel is a great mod for an FD. Makes the engine rev so much better, just makes it feel better in general.

If you've been driving a stick for more than a month you will have NO problems driving a light flywheel.

Put it on, you'll be happy you did.

this is the flywheel I have in my car along with a 6 puck. engine response is faster. You do have to rev it a bit more to takeoff and go up inclines but it's worth it. I've been driving with this on my car for 6 years now. Been daily driven for about 4 years. I am, however, been planning to go to a twin disc to as I would prefer not to have such a firm clutch petal.

 

i have the prolite and have had it for 2 years now.. took a day to get used to it..

 

I just put one in last month with the street/strip clutch. The first day I thought I had messed up. I stalled the car twice in front of my house ect. It took some getting used to. I have 130 miles on it now and love it. It is extremely nible and the car is quicker. It revs so freely. I enjoy hitting the gas and doing the high speed burnouts too.

 

I have it and its great, rpm response is very quick.

You'll need to adjust your driving a little, more revs to start moving, rev matching, etc

Also in my case i had to adjust some pfc idle settings because when it dropped rpms to idle it was too fast and would stall.

 

thanks so much for the respond guys... i'll give it a try

 

nvm, i posted to ask some info on light flyhweels, but found some good threads

im deciding not too! id rather spend the 300 on something else, like streetport, even though i just took my engine out today and have access

sacrifices!

 

Some what related, what are you guys torquing the PP bolts to on these acts flywheel/kit combos? I've read conflicting specs. Thanks in advance.

 

I used whatever the shop manual said for the torque specs
