sti flywheel

err,
changing to a flywheel of that weight does give a slightly dodgy idle, and the dip on over run can cause it to stall.
dont know where all this stuff about losing torque comes from.
The torque comes fromt the engine burning fuel in a confined space, not from an inanimate lump of metal on the end of the crank shaft.
Can you explain exactly why the engine will lose torque?

I made several attempts to explain why ultra light flywheels contribute to the "loss of torque" feeling here ..

I hope cross posting is permitted here.

I have a lightened flywheel - although not down to 5.4kg - seemed a bit pricy to me. Maybe this is why my car will never give over 300ftlb of torque
Also any hunting on idle is greatly exagerated as there is less smoothing.

Lightening a flywheel will affect the idle. The flywheel is largely there to even out the velocity of the crankshaft between detonations. Less mass = less eveningout = rougher idle. However, more mass also = less torque at the wheels as additional energy required to accelerate the flywheel.
