Hi,

I need some opinions from you guys about changing the flywheel.

I am planning to put a new clutch in my car. Along with the clutch I want to switch to a lightweight flywheel. I have heard that with the lightweight flywheel the engine revs quicker and feels like the engine has more horsepower.

my question is that my car has already been mapped and if I switch to a lightweight flywheel will the car need to be mapped again? Or will the map on the car right now be ok??

Thank you

Amey

Id say it will be fine, i have the ACT prolite flywheel fitted to my car.

Was your car already mapped Scott when you fitted it? And how does the lightweight feel against the original?

Hey Amey, yes it was by Rich @ FB Tuning.

The flywheel that was removed was a STI group N set up, i had a 6 padel clutch and a lightened flywheel.

I can't see adding a lightened flywheel affecting the map, it will only allow faster revs/spool and not affect the fuel/air mix.

amey

awesome!!! Thanks for the info Scott.. I thought that I will need a remap that's why I was in two minds whether to buy the lightweight flywheel or not.. But now I can buy the whole kit..

Is Rts brand good?

Im sure Alyn @ AS Performance sells these, whats your car and what power is it running?

amey

my car is 2001 wrx bugeye.. I am running 273 horsepower but I am in eastafrica right now and the car was tuned by Duncan (race dynamix) to 93 Ron fuel as that's the fuel avaliable here.. I am preparing the car for rally purpose so I thought that the flywheel will be good to make the power delivery better.

The flywheel will help, your fuel isn't helping though. (but i guess you already know that)

amey

This is the kit from Rts that I will be buying

Fly wheel isn't that light over stock, you won't notice much with that tbh.

amey

Yeah Scott I know the fuel is s*** here the only other option I had here was av gas which is 100 Ron but it's got lead which I think will foul the valves and lambda sensors so I didn't go for it although the first time I got the car mapped it was 306 horsepower running on vpower it's a shame can't get that grade fuel here 😞

amey

Dude I like your car!!!! It's awesome looks like a jap import sti 😬😬😬

Haha, you got me.

Yes its a Spec C type RA, i imported it from Japan last year.

Thank you.

amey

So do you think I should just change the clutch on its own?

Ascottie75

Cost = performance. i would tbh.

amey

Love it looks really nice!!! Sti is in it own league

amey

I am getting the flywheel very cheap the whole bundle I am getting for £400... And their is no labour cost as will install myself
