Lightened flywheel for turbo car?
 

I was just wondering if any of u boosted guys run a lightened flywheel? It's clutch time and I'm weighing my options... I was thinking the fm happy meal with the 10 lb lightened flywheel but didn't know if that was a good idea on a turbo car..... I put a lightened flywheel in a na mr2 a few years back and afterwards that thing revved like a flippin f1 car when I was done..

So its either that or I'm just gona run the act stage II on the stock flywheel cause that's what I ran on my old car with good results... Whuddaya think?

i love my fm happy meal with the 10lb flywheel, wouldn't hesitate to put one in another car.

How much boost u running? And did you notice any difference in the way it revs with that setup?

The only reason I'm hesitant is cause I can get the act setup for like $300. If they lightened flywheel is actually noticeable though Id be very interested in the fm.

i was at 8psi on a td-04 for a while. i should be up to around 10-11 now. im not easy on clutches( i blow up 2 in my old ranger) and its taken everything i give it without any problems.
It revs a bit quicker than stock and accel is a bit easyier. i would describe it as they way it should have been stock.

I'm wondering what's currently in my car now... It felt a bit quicker than my old miata before the turbo and it holds 10 psi just fine but it's definitely soaked in some kind of fluid that's why I want to change it... It's not stock I knownthat for sure. I just don't trust any work I haven't personally done. I guess I'd just be kinda pissed if I go fm pull it apart to find a lightened flywheel in there already. Im gona have whatever's going in before I pull it apart cus my clutch job is gona be done in like 2 hrs (if i dont send the flywheel out to be resurfaced)I'm gona say after I've pulled about 10 miata transmissions.

I dont think you can tell without pulling it if I'm correct though cus I've looked up in there on numerous occasions trying to figure out what's in it...

I would go with a lighter flywheel. No point in staying with a stock one if you are in there to do a clutch, plus at its current age (unless recently replaced) the could probably use i.

If it only takes two hours, check and see what you have :D

I ran a lightened flywheel on my FM setup. Loved it. No issues for me. I just put another one on my N/A NB. Will eventually be turbo, so I changed it out when the engine was out. FM Happy Meal is amazing.

I had an 8lb flywheel and kinda hated it. mainly due to stock ecu stalling on it constantly.

8lbs seems like overkill. 10.4lbs like the FM one seems perfect. Although I have heard that a heavier flywheel helps the turbo spool faster, something about load. I don't know though my car spooled fairly quick with the 10.4. So not sure how much truth there is.

I had an aluminum clutch and flywheel... lighter than most people run by a lot. I loved it. I didn't have idle problems.

I now have an FM happy meal and I have a perfect idle.
