Ive been looking into some stealthy upgrades but i dont know where to go anymore eventually i wanna try em all but the funds just arent there yet...

has anyone tried the toda cams for the s2000? i dont wanna spend 6 hours and not get much in return

and i like the idea of the lightened flywheel but i havent heard anyones feedback yet hmm..


any info is appreciated ohh dyno slips on the cams or track times would be awesome too!!! thanks!

 

moving to S2000talk. general product questions go there.

 

from what i hear the lighter flywheel gives you 5HP to the wheels.

No, I know it doesn't produce power, but it lowers drivetrain losses.

 

Flywheel is a quality mod and does offer good benefit for $. It's a good mod if you are doing the clutch anyway but it's not worth pulling your clutch to just do the flywheel. I'd recommend just keeping it in mind for the next time you have to take the tranny off.

 

For those who've tried this, how much did it change the shift characteristics of the car? The S2000 gains and looses revs quickly enough when the engine is unloaded, ie, with the clutch disengaged. I like to think I'm pretty good at making smooth shifts "most" of the time but I have to admit, the S2000 has been one of the more challenging cars I've driven in that regard. I would think that lightening the flywheel wouldn't help that aspect. Anyone care to comment?

Just wondering.

i only briefly drove a car with a lightened flywheel, but the impressions were substantial. it pulled harder with less throttle effort and recoiled quicker when in gear and letting off the gas (ie: quickly pressing and depressing the gas made the car feel like it was on a very tight spring).

not exactly sure how the lightness would affect high rpm gear shifts, but wouldn't a heavier flyw slow down faster?

one of the best benefits though, was blipping to rev match. very little throttle effort and the tach would soar.

bottomline, after driving a car with the mod, i would not want to go back to stock.

hope this helps

 

now I cant really speak on the s2k but both B series powered cars I had
a 99 gsr-t and 92 hatch with high comp GSR motor both have light flywheels
12.5 in th gsr-t and 10 in the hatch.. i loved it
im used to it and when getting the s2k one of the first things I said was it revs slow, though vtec is like no other vtec in a bseries im used to it now
but thought a lighter flywheel would be a nice add on

 

Actually its the opposite.

Larger masses take longer to spin down due to centrifical force.

Light weight spins up faster, but because it has less mass it spins down faster.

The heavilier fly wheel is slower to spin up, and slower to spin down.

 

heavy flywheels also take more energy to speed up, thus lowering your wheel HP.

 

thanks for the feedback guys i really appreciate the feedback.. does anyone experience stalling or anything?
