LOL…he got all mad over nothin
Milage=WEAR by the way. If you believe an original engine with 300,000 plus original miles on it that has never had any work done to it has absolutely no wear to it whatsoever…then I can see why you blow up on people when they simply suggest something. You use the word ignorance way too often…its the same as people who swear a lot. Its because they have limited vocabulary and stumble when they get fustrated over stupid shit.
And calling me names…LOL…GROW UP MAN!!! This is a place for people to share ideas, not pick cyber fights…sit back…drink a beer…and go get laid or something.
Sharing ideas and deliberately spreading misinformation are two different things. If you cannot stand to be corrected when you post nonsense, then consider not posting unless you know what your talking about.
Sorry if you were affended by my post, but you posted the limp wrist which was uncalled for and begging a reply. So looks like your the E-thug who likes to cry wolf. I mearly corrected your erroneous post. And you can look up the definition of ignorance if you feel it doesn’t apply.
I usually don’t respond to people who are only out to pick an E-fight, but your dribble might of kept some new members from considering using a lightened flywheel. I sure am glad that I did, and will always use a lightened flywheel on every B-series motor I build. Good luck to you Trinidad.

how well does the lighter flywheel work up steep hills?
Fidanza flywheel in my car. Works great after you get used to the diffrence in taking off with the lighter flywheel.
I have the exedy organic clutch and prostreet 8.58 lb flywheel in my car for about a year now and I like it.
I have an XTD 6 puck with 10lb flywheel and have no problems up steep hills, just need to rev a little higher I guess. At first It may seem a little different but you’ll just get used to it.
Competition Clutch Stage 2 w/Act Streetlight
it works fine.
The best way to describe the effect of a lighter flywheel is the clutch doesn’t slip as much as a stock flywheel due to lack of momentum. So if you can adapt to that, you won’t even notice the difference after.
I have and Exedy Stage 1 Clutch and Fidanza 7.5lb Flywheel and IMO its a great combo.
How noticeable is the 12.5lb act? As compared to stock and the prolite 8.5lb act?
The prolite is out of the question for me. But I am thinking about either going stock or streetlight. Cant decide.
I will most likely be getting the exedy stage 1. I daily drive my car, never race. Just looking for a reliable upgrade in performance. Can anyone with this combo give any input?
sorry but anyone who reads this crap online and has never had a light weight flywheel please sit down and shut up. first i have driven with an act 8lb chromoly flywheel, stock and fidanza 7lb.
common bullshit spread on the internet:
-do i have to give it more gas uphills? NO! (who comes up with this shit? seriously!)
-better gas milage? wtf? hell no!
-more wear on engine? umm k… sorry but the flywheel does not dampen engine imbalance, nor does a lighter flywheel cause extra wear. why would it? ur decreasing the rotational weight that is offset to the tranny’s side. ur actually decreasing wear by balancing the weight to the center.also the aftermarket flywheel will be more balanced then the stock. and just food for thought…did u know those crappy ebay clutches are way off or not even balanced??? so next time u blame the flywheel take ur clutch to a engine balancer and be ready to see just how lop sided that poop clutch really is…
-rev more to come from a stand still? yes. duh. less rotational mass
-revs faster? yes, when trying to rev match or heel toe. no, when driving in gear.
-is it a worth while mod? nope. imo it’s only usefull in a n/a engine that see’s 9000rpm. it has no use in a street car or stock engine.
-is it good for turbo? hell no! enjoy falling out of boost if u do run one
enough said, i’m out :stare:
Sorry your wrong
im running an Exedy Stage 2 clutch and the Exedy lighter flywheel. Best combo ever. I used an ACT clutch and factory flywheel on my car and blew out 2 trans cause the clutch grabbed to dam hard. The exedy stage 2 is great daily driver and the flywheel helps me rev to 8K alot faster. In heavy cars like integras they help alot. So anyone who wants a race/daily driven pritty much stock feel want the car to have more up and go thats what i got and i love it. And the 92-93 big spline trans handle the torque alot better aint blown this tranny yet. and thats launching at 4k
After many years of deliberation I recently swapped out my old b18a1 and put in and imported b18c gsr into my 91 Integra. When I had the swap done I also put in a street lite flywheel & competition stage 2 clutch. Acceleration is definately there, and I lost a little comfort in stop and go traffic, but overall I think it was an ok investment seeing as I needed a new clutch anyways. Yes a lighter flywheel frees up energy here and there, but somewhere down the line within an engine something has to pick up the stress.
Don’t have it? STFU!
Unbelievable the remarks made by people who have no experience with a setup in question…
I bought my '92 GSR with 270 000km on it and found my stock B17 to be well maintained by previous owners. I changed the clutch and flywheel to the Exedy Stage 1 and Fidenza 7.5lbs setup originally in question and all I have to say, is that I LOVE it.
Whoever said that reducing the flywheel’s mass is comparable to taking mass off the car… is right.
By how much per pound? I’m not exactly sure. When strictly speaking rotational masses, the same idea applies with putting lightened pullies and cranks (underdrive aside). Pound for pound, rotational mass plays a huge factor in the motor’s output when compared to the actual mass of the car. If you’re curious as to what I mean, fill your car with four passengers and drive around for an hour. Then boot all the passengers out and drive alone. That’s what the difference felt like for me (in terms of throttle response).
Streetable? Absolutely. Fun to drive? Without question!
If you can’t drive the Exedy clutch and 7.5 lbs Fidenza flywheel setup, then you can’t drive manual. Don’t whine, you’re just bad, son.
Now, by no means do I say it feels the same as stock.
At a standstill, the engine revs quick like a motorcycle. Gently off the line, with a flywheel so light and a noticably firmer biting clutch, the car feels almost like it wants to stall. It does take some getting used to, but I certainly had no problem driving to work the very next morning. It was just a little… rough… lol! By mid week, a passenger wouldn’t even be able to tell.
Shifting is different too. When changing gears, the RPM drops significantly faster. It takes some getting used to, but it’s not that difficult.
I now have 330 000km on an otherwise stock motor (chopped intake and exhaust do not count, you ricers… lol). My motor pulls hard and runs like a dream.
I highly recommend a the Exedy Stage 1 clutch with a 7.5 lbs Fidenza flywheel to anybody with any well maintained Integra, regardless of milage. And if you’re still with me, thank you for reading my two cents.
BBP-GS DA: better gas mileage? wtf? hell no!
Why not? You are decreasing the rotational inertia. At the same linear velocity angular momentum is deceased; that should increase city mileage. Also I would assume that while shifting, less fuel would be consumed. Correct me if I’m wrong, but has anyone really looked into that? Oh and thirdly, less weight equals less friction.
I can see that the difference may be marginal, but every bit helps.
i bought a 92 integra with a fully built engine. Engine is freshely rebuilt with performance parts. When it came to choosing the clutch and flywheel i decided on the exedy stage 1 with fidanza 7.5. I have never driven an integra so i dont know how its supposed to feel. But its not hard to drive the car, i love this combo and i recommend it for anyone looking for a good cheap alternative
