Lightened Flywheel
I'm looking to buy a lightened flywheel for my duratec and wondered what is too light. I can get a 4kg or 2.7kg one. Mostly for road use. I
currently use a standard st 150 which is over 8kg

On the hairdressers I put a 4.7kg in originally but it had a lot of shunt and noise through the clutch/gearbox.
Now running 5.4 and despite the small increase it's a lot more tractable and quieter.
Still spins up pretty fast though.
Only thing on both is little to no engine braking - bit like driving an auto.
Also idle when using lots of electrical power can fluctuate but maybe that's just my set-up.
Different engine in your case but I suspect same considerations will apply.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe

Says it all really
Your car is lighter so can cope with a lighter flywheel with all its benefits and you won't see as many deficits.
However the lightest flywheel for road use will be difficult to live with

I have one for sale, however you'll need a starter that can always be engaged and not sure of the clutch, PM me if you want more details.

Make sure you get a good sprung centre clutch plate. That should help any snatching etc.....
