according to this site http://www.performancecenter.com/products/...ATIONS&sf5=2.2L

this two flywheels both add 10to30 hp to the wheels! that seems like a heck of a lot. must be like 25 to 65 bhp. thats seems like alot, almost too much. Does this seem credible to you? if it true i'm sure it would add alot more kick to your celica.

They dont add HP, Damn it people. They allow more HP to be transfered to the pavement.

so does that mean with a performance flywheel more of the bhp would be put to wheels?

so then it would increase WHP wouldnt it?

lighter flywheel means less lose HP from engine to wheels.. it's not add anything..

Flywheels are heavy from the factory for a reason; replacing them with a lighter one almost always causes smooth idling to suffer (esp if the cam timing is the same). Why? Because the job of the flywheel is to smooth out firing pulses, vibration harmonics, and torsion twist. The most cost effective way, from a manufactuing stand point, is weight. Remove weight, remove the benefits. It's a give or take situation.

I'm loving my light wieght flywheel with the 3s. It seems I have less "bucking" and it really does make for easier RPM matching.

edit: by the way I have the clutchmaster flywheel, its supost to like 9.5lbs. Only problem I have had so far is if I let the clutch out to fast then its harder to make up for it cause it almost stalls the engine.

what do you mean less driveable? is it a pain to drive? does it make you not want to drive your car as much?

it makes it harder to start moving slowly... its more like you have to always be racing or something... because it takes more RPM's to get it going but the more power from Revving it higher isn't lost... its hard to explain.

Mine bogs down at low RPMs, partly due to the lightweight flywheel, partly due to the engine being so small that it doesn't produce much torque. >>

with lightweight flywheel rpm goes up faster.. and goes down faster. its always easier to make lighter wheel spin and then stop. same works on rimses too. light wheels doesnt gives power but makes car go better.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that its not adding horsepower just putting more in the tires. However, does it really put as much HP back in as the original post claims?
