Im looking for a good fly Wheel... I was looking a Jimmy Wolf Flywheel ( the 14lbs one) And was Wondering if their are any lighter flywheels.. And whats the Pros and Cons of going lighter then 14 pounds . And also how much Does the Stock Fly wheel Weigh in at .

 

It's Jim Wolf, not Jimmy.

I have the Unorthodox racing one. It is ~12lbs and I chose it because they seem to have less chatter than the Jim Wolf. There are some down to 8lbs but not a good idea for street driving.


Pros:
Faster revving engine and less mass for your engine to rotate = Performance gains.

Cons:
You may end up with some chatter (noise at low rpm and idle).
It can lower your mpg a tiny bit.

 

Oh and the stock one is ~28lbs.

It's a dual-mass unit which dampens the sound. That is why the one-peice light ones make some noise. It's normal and does not hurt anything they just don't dampen the sound from the tranny like the oem one does.

 

28lbs!!? things a beast! ive heard some nasty light weight fly wheel noises in the past...how loud is this chatter? whats installaton $$ like?

 

Well my friend got a jim wolf 14 pound Fly wheel and The Chatter was crazy.. Sounded like a dump truck when he down Shifted.. But He said they forgot to Install something But now its much better... Have any of you had Infiniti Install your Fly wheel ? Im Getting a new TRansmission from them, so im trying to get them to Throw it on.

 

good idea but good luck with that! i will be having my tranny replaced sometime in the near future as well....i can feel it

 

whats wrong with ur tranny? or what they did tell u was wrong with it? lol

 

Well i told them to check it out b/c it Grinds from 4th to 6th and 3th to 6th.. So their Replacing it.

 

i see, which dealership do u take it to? did they tell u the exact problem? ur pm box is full by the way....

 

The dealer did my clutch/flywheel when they replaced my tranny earlier this year. The Jim Wolf one is one of the louder ones. From my research it seems that every install is different but the UR one seems to always be pretty quiet.

I only get chatter when my car has the A/C on full blast and/or when I am in too high of a gear at low rpm. Like if I slow to almost a stop (~1-3mph) and stay in second. Below 2,000 rpm there can be some chatter. I don't mind it at all. It's a small price to pay for better performance.

 

look into the RPS Cyn-R-G or the ACT StreetLitle and ProLite flywheels.

The RPS has a unique design for the friction surface and the ACT units are chromoly.

 

I have the RPS its a great setup

 

Yea im really intrested in getting a 8 lbs Flywheel now. I just need to find a Repitable Company that makes one and a site to get it from. And also the infiniti thats nearest to me said they do not do any Aftermarket Installation.. Has any one in Florida Delt With Infiniti of Cocanut Creak and do they do aftermarket Installation.

Thanks

 

If you drive your car every day in traffic I would strongly recommend not getting the 8lb one.

 

What 8lbs brand flywheels are their out their .. I no of tilton but the Clutch it comes with cant Support over 300 Whp.
