Flywheel + FI?
 
Hi all,

Is it still a good idea to get a lightened flywheel if I plan to go FI? Will the driveability be significantly affected, or will the flywheel hold up to the additional strain? I'm planning to install the ACT Prolite and then in the future a FI kit like the PTP or Hymee's.

Yeah you can go FI with a lightened flywheel, pullies, racecat or whatever.... As long as you get the kit tuned for YOUR car you should be safe.

I have a lightened flywheel with FI. No problems...well not anymore then if you have a regular car with a flywheel. Little more difficult to modulate, and in reverse sometimes you stall a bit easier. But that happened before I was FI as well.

Sorry to interrupt. Fanman, have you compared the RB fly to your SR fly? Like actually driven one? I am wondering if losing that 1-2 extra lbs from RB to SR is worth the PITA that is the install. Just wondering. Thanks.

I have tried a car that was basically RB'ed out (RB cat back exhaust, RB suspension kit, RB flywheel, etc. Honestly, there was not much difference. Revs about the same. I would say no it is not worth the extra $ & labor.
