flywheel added performance.. how?

ASSISTANCE Hybrids & Advanced Aftermarket Engine Performance

I am wondering why a lighter flywheel adds performance and what it does… just curious… o and it is hard to install?

i’m from ames. i’ll be there visiting my dad over easter. :wave:

lightweight flywheels remove rotating mass, which helps the car rev more freely. it also helps free up power that’s usually lost having to move more mass through the rotating assembly. it doesn’t really ADD power per se, but rather frees up existing power to actually go to the wheels rather than be lost getting the rotating assembly moving.

oh okay then i know i’ve met him. :stuck_out_tongue: i’m there all the time.

so far i’ve gotten the teggy up on jackstands and removed the following:

engine
transmission
brakes
wheels
suspension

pretty much if it’s on the outisde or in the engine bay and not a body component, it’s out. :smiley:

i’ll have a full rolling chassis (wheels, tires, brakes, full suspension, everything) by (hopefully) july 15, possibly sooner if i get this early promotion i’m goin up for in a couple weeks. :up:

i liked my integra in bellevue… no one had them
i wish i had a lift to use to do crap… but i dont even have a garage here in ames to put my car on jacks… i just want to put on my thermal exhaust and i cant do it… dont have anywhere to go! makes me mad
