im goin to get a clutch kit and im thinking of putting an 11lbs flywheel in it whats the advantages and disadvantages of such a light flywheel like this?
i have a choice of a 11lbs or an 18lbs

 

The lighter the flywheel the more noisy and jerky it's going to get, but the engine will rev a bit quicker. Mine sounds like a mack truck under 2krpm since the swap with a 13lb. You also might get some shudder (shaking) during engagement.

 

what is stock flywheel weight?

 

must rev like a beast though?

stock flywheel is like 31lbs

 

About 30lbs...

 

Personally, I wouldn't put my engine through the abuse. Our flywheels are dual mass flywheels. I have yet to find an aftermarket flywheel I would use.

 

It will probally chatter like a ****

 

green you have one in your car?

 

It will chatter like a mutherfocker, you will instantly feel the revs climbing faster, but that feeling goes away really soon, after you get used to it.

 

so 18 better then?

 

It depends on what you mean by "better"

I have a 12lb because it's the lightest I could find at the time.

 

do you spinn like crazy shifting into 2nd?

 

Only if I gun it

 

How come no one argues the dangers of a lightened flywheel when the lightened pullies are so bad?

 

Not sure what the danger of a light flywheel would be...would be interested to hear about someone who got burned by a light flywheel. dual mass it's more to reduce noise and vibration than anything.
