If it's a 3rd gen motor then the stock flywheel is what's needed for your application. The stock FD's flywheel have the best weight for a street/ strip car! USA Rx-7's with 13B's--> Factory balance groups- 84-85 86-88 89-95 Same for Turbo or NA. crispeed 87TII 9.20@150mph |
Crispeed's right.. You can't use a flywheel from an older motor or a different motor. And I believe stock is best for street/drag racing because you retain your torque..

anyone know how much time off the ET will be lost with a lighter flywheel?? im assuming your ET will go down, but your trap speed will be higher since you go through the gears quicker, correct??

This is a real balancing act, and I doubt there is no single answer for all situations.
I used to think that a HEAVY flywheel is needed to get the car off the line.  This is the rule for NA motors... With a lighter flywheel, this loads up the turbo more - turbo runs on engine load - so you'll get more/faster boost from the turbo. Now, it's all about balancing both sides for your application... -Ted |

Don't use a light flywheel if you plan on drag racing. Your car will look like a leap frog going down the track........
