: Lighten Flywheels on the street 08-02-2001, 10:55 AM I've got a '91 NX2k in California with lots of mods, and there is not much more I can do to keep this thing (legally) on the road. I've heard that a lightened flywheel can really improve acceleration, but what does it do to general drivability? And what is the likely hood of engine damage? silversx 08-02-2001, 02:36 PM good question! ------------------ Aztec Red 1993 NX2000 porboy44 08-02-2001, 03:15 PM I've had a Clutchmasters aluminium flywheel on my nx for about four years now. It has never effected drivability. There is virtually no negative effects in reguard to engine durability. Do not expect a night and day difference from a stock flywheel.

Matt </font> Matt, since when are you on the forum? Holy cow! Hows that Turbo man? porboy44 08-03-2001, 07:03 AM I poke my nose in every now and then. More so lately than before. The car is running just fine. It's no longer a daily driver. It's just too much of a pain to drive stop light to stop light with the ACT clutch. I have the HD pressure plate with the six puck disc. Holds the power just fine but just wasn't made for daily driving. Also I haven't been able to get a boost controller to work on the thing. I startred with a Blitz DSBC but couldn't get that to work, I gave up on it after seeing 28lbs of boost. I then went to a dual solenoid manual controller with no luck. Right now I adjust boost via the set screw on the wastegate and by changing springs in the wastegate. Other then that the car is fine.

It takes about 1/2 hour to get used to the car again, but after that, all you notice is that the car is faster! ------------------ 92 NX2000 Intake/Headers/Exhaust/Cams/Flywheel 14.545 @ 95.54 mph http://www.sonic.net/~brucel/images/copchase.gif YeloBlammo 08-04-2001, 10:32 PM hey..i was gonna have my dad machine down my se-r flywheel before i put it on the BB engine coming in...he was a machinist for like 20 yrs so im sure he'll do the job right..any pointers or info? ...this will work fine wont it?..thanks alot..

Apparently you can shave it down to 14lbs safely. That's not bad at all. ------------------ 92 NX2000 Intake/Headers/Exhaust/Cams/Flywheel 14.545 @ 95.54 mph http://www.sonic.net/~brucel/images/copchase.gif porboy44 08-06-2001, 06:58 AM Here's a link to the flywheel info: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Show/6894/fly.html 08-14-2001, 08:01 PM thanks for the help guys | ||
