one thing about drastically changes the weight of the flywheel and size of pullys is that it will make you car run differently and you have to be careful. the flywheel is the rotating mass that keeps the crankshaft and whole engine moving inbetween strokes so if you lighten this you won't have as much mass rotating.. it'll change the balance of the engine.

another change you could make to help with traction, weight.. anything is relocating the battery to the spare wheel well since I'm gonna assume you're removing that to save weight.. relocating the battery to the trunk will give you at least another 20 pounds right over the rear axle.. where you want weight

Therefore in most cases it won't affect the ballance if you use a lighter flywheel assuming it is prebalanced. It will change the critical frequency of the assembly though but most engines never hit their critical frequency anyway. Besides the decrease in overall weight a lighter flywheel will make the engine spool up much faster. Faster engine spool = more hp. Does anyone know the weight of a stock flywheel? |
