Lighter components will not increase HP. Lighter components will increase accelleration potential of the vehicle. Most dynos use either an inertial or inertial/brake to calculate the torque produced by produced and will show an increase in effective rear wheel HP by using light wheels, driveshaft, flywheel/clutch etc. Now if I take this car with the light drivetrain and remove the same weight from my dynos enertial calibration settinmg, it will dyno to the same HP as before. With the Mustang dyno that I have, I can hold the vehicle at any RPM I want and get an instant torque reading that will be the same since there is no accelleration happening with light components or heavy. Now back to the real world and out of the lab you will see an increase in accelleration by not only removing weight from the car but by also significantly reducing the rotating mass. Nearly 1/3 of your available HP is being used to accellerate the rotating parts on you car to go from 10mph to 50 mph, the other 2/3 is what is left to accellerate the vehicle forward. A general estimate is that a pound off you rotating weight is similar to removing 3 pounds off the static weight of the car. __________________ Wayne Presley www.verycoolparts.com taken from an engineering website so stand tall or sit the f down and i dont know if you noticed this jinx but your buddy conquest was the one throwing around f bombs and telling people to shut up in the first place read your posts more carefully.

exactly what im sayin of course your going to go faster with an automatic do you know why? because it shifts faster. just like if you reduce shift times in a manual trans with a lightened flywheel, you can shift faster with the fidanza than with a lightened stock. and all those "feelings and Hunches" are proven fact im not an asshat or a backyard mechanic that refuses to think anyone else is right like you are, im as ase master certified infiniti tech and have been for ten years and im currently attending uic chicagos engineering program , ive also driven and built faster cars than you have even seen in person on the street. im done with this if you cant get it through your head then im done, no more help or anything with anything i dont even need to be on here anymore the car has nothing mitsubishi in it except for the rearend and interior. im pretty sure next time you need anything the people that actually know what they are talking about are probably not going to chime in. have fun asshat the origional question was what would perform better not how you feel about it .

jinx is wrong read the posts again LIGHTER FLYWHEEL MEANS QUICKER SHIFTS LESS MASS AND FASTER E/T'S i should have just said it like that to begin with instead of arguing with people who have no technical are mechanical background, good jobb to the people who know what they are talking about, people who dont need to keep quiet and let the people who do know talk.

first off the need to resort to swearing at me is childish, secondly your wrong about the facts you stated look in any engineering manual for the properties of work as a load and that will prove you wrong. third let me explain it again im not arguing your PREFERENCE of lightened flywheels, im arguing the "facts" you are trying to use to justify your posts. your just wrong man admit it the only thing your right about is that the flywheel is the first thing to transfer power of the engine to the wheels, the lighter flywheel is a direct coefficient to work performed by the engine. the LESS WEIGHT THE EASIER IT IS TO DO THE WORK aka faster quarter mile times adn faster launches. driveability is affected though if your used to your car doing something slow with the stock flywheel when you put the lightened one in it will do things faster making you change your driving habits.

good job chiplee , turbo "load" as conquest had put it, has nothing to do with anything rotating in the engine, has to do with backpressure and manifold design and cam timing on the exhast side

yea its all in what you are lookin for but he did it that way on purpose and honestly to me he needs a little smaller tire and to space it out more and lower it more. but thats me

oh yea sorry forgot about that post good job

technology is the only one who knows what hes talking about +1 for him, you dont feel the turbo at all, you feel the power increase with added pressure in the cylinder walls. let me explain this again what your feeling when you first let out the clutch is the force it is taking to turn your drivetrain to get the car moving (bogging or the like) with a heavy stock flywheel the purpose is to keep the engine spinning between shifts to make the car not jerk when shifting gears. lightened and extremely light flywheels reduce rotational mass which in turn makes the engine able to slow down quicker when throttle is let off, heavy ones take more time . has absolutely nothing to do with power band or power numbers just lets you get to that point faster! some rare cases where an engine picks up horsepower on an engine dyno on an N/A engine is only due to rotational mass loss (read - easier to turn the thing over)

^^^^ nope thats the way they are supposed to look

you can get em made from j line for 2800 shipped in any offset you want.

lightened flywheels are very much worth it no loss in torque at all , it has no effect on power of engine just revving, lighter equals less mass to move and quicker spin up faster quarters and nicer to drive.

ssr watanabe rs 8s in 17x9-23 and new coilovers for the front with pillowball mounts, and 80 feet of .083 wall chromoly tubing 1 5/8 diam, new mishimoto radiator for an s 14 works great with the rb, new custom front mount (the expensive kind no cheap ebay crap) hks T04zr turbo pics later.

how mufch for the roof/rear glass spoiler on the red quest with the black rear spoiler on it in picture 156 in the t3 album?

looks like a rauh welt spoiler look em up they build sick porsche's
